I finally did it. I published my first book. Its something I wanted to do since I was 12 years old and I finally found a story line book worthy. Its not the big time, no advances and no book signings as of yet. This is out of my own pocket and it really was about getting a goal accomplished. I have several more in the works and I am currently working on the follow-up as I type. This book was inspired by Oprah Winfrey's Legends Ball, I started the outline that night and I ended up taking characters from previous short stories I had written and added them to this book. Thus, The Black Magnolia Society was born. Read more below. Any questions??? Hit me up at anisah.true@gmail.com.
