"Is this my story?"
I think that JADED is so many people's story.  I think that we have
all invested--emotionally, spiritually, financially, seriously, in something, in someone that we thought was
THE ONE! 

What do you do when The One decides to make a life choice,
a love choice doesn't include you?

I wrote JADED honestly because I was tired of being "The Right Man"
AFTER the Wrong Man, meaning I had met this wonderful person, but he was so bruised, so jaded after the last thing
he called love that he couldn't or wouldn't give what is before him
a real chance.

I had person after person, man after man, tell me that I was KILLING THEM SOFTLY with these words and so after THE JADED JURY (a trusted group of friends who read the first manuscript)
came back with great feedback, I knew that it was time, the right
seasonif you will, to offer the world JADED, my debut novel.

This story really does bring up stuff -- forgotten stuff, hurtful stuff, dismissed stuff -- and asks you, asks us what we
really think we deserve and what we really believe happiness
can and should look like.

JADED is a novel about two Black
men, but the pain, the past, the hurt
and the hope are universal, color-
blind, orientation-accessible to all.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE
THROUGH WITH LOVE...
BUT LOVE'S NOT THROUGH WITH YOU?

JADED, a love story, in its ugliest,
sweetest, realest form.
