Days 6 and 7...Woohoo!

Hot damn, I did it! I lost weight, y'all! Now, I refuse to get on a scale or else I'll be obsessed with standing on that doggone thing every single day. So, instead, I'm focusing on my clothes. My clothes are a little bit looser. Yeah!

Because of the weight loss, I treated mysefl to a Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich, and boy was it some kind of good, too!

I'm going to keep it going though.

I want to thank you all for your well wishes and words of motivation. For the first time in 7 years, I'm doing something for Jessica, and it is truly a wonderful feeling!

Also, this month I am celebrating my birthday, which will be September 20th. So...

Day 3 of Weight Challenge -- I'm tired of eating!

I am so ready to throw the eggs in the trash. I'm sick of sausage and scrambled eggs. So, this morning, I scrambled eggs with onions, stewed tomatoes and green peppers. A dish my mother used to prepare quite often. It was quite tasty, I must admit.

Lunch--grilled chicken salad.

Exercise--not today. I have to cut the lawn--front, back and sides of the house. That's enough exercise to me!

Dinner--Don't know yet. I had crabs last night--withouth Old Bay Seasoning, which wasn't so bad. But, what was REALLY bad was my not having my concoction of mayo, ketchup, hot sauce and vinegar. It was just plain old crab. Well, at least I know it isn't the crab that sends me to the bathroom, but instead it's my concoction. :-(

I'm hanging in there...

The Howard Sisters are Back and Feistier than Ever!

Although it has been 6 years since I published In My Sisters' Corner, the Howard sisters are stepping back on the scene as if it were yesterday, and they haven't missed a beat!

Crossing Sisters is the spin-off of my 2005 best-selling novel, In My Sisters' Corner, and picks up where the original story left off. So, if you're reading me for the first time, and you have not read In My Sisters' Corner, then please read In My Sisters' Corner before you read Crossing Sisters. When writing sequels, I always begin where the last chapter of the previous book left off. And, it isn't often that I'll venture back down memory lane. So, I don't want you to be lost...read In My Sisters' Corner before you read Crossing Sisters.

Book Description:

Although China’s life shattered into a million pieces when her husband of twenty years committed suicide, she continues to annoy Maya, criticizing and indulging in monumental arguments, and spewing her hateful venom. However, when ugly secrets are revealed, China and Maya begin to question their relationship and love for each other.

Free is madly in love with Sam, and is elated to accept his proposal of marriage, despite a devastating loss, and Jade is happily in love with Jon.

The sisters are still at each others’ throats, but will an unexpected trip to Montego Bay and a tragic accident change their lives, their love and their attitude toward each other?

Crossing Sisters is a highly entertaining page-turner from acclaimed author Jessica Tilles that explores the meaning of love and sisterhood through tragic life-changing events.
