The Color Of Love/ Signet Books 1994:
I’d already been writing for ten years and I noticed that there were no books in the
market that examined interracial relationships. All I had to do was look around to see how the nature of relationships in America were
changing to realize this was an untapped area in fiction. I wanted to thoroughly exam the emotion and psychological challenges facing a
couple from different racial backgrounds. THE COLOR OF LOVE is about a black woman, Leah Downey, and a white man Jason Horn (who also
happens to be a cop) who meet, becomes friends, and fall in love, and then find themselves constantly defending their feelings for each
other putting their very lives in danger. THE COLOR OF LOVE is probably the most popular novel I’ve written. In its 9th
printing it has also been optioned twice for film (HBO and LIFETIME). I have been receiving email from readers since its release, asking
for a sequel. I have a follow up story outlined and I’m looking for the right publisher who will commit themselves to the story.
