Excerpt from forthcoming book... Sassy’s Rules of Dating 2009© SassyScribe (Saundra E. Harris) Saphari Books, Inc. The first rule of dating is to go on the date with no expectations. We as women set ourselves up when we go on a date with this mindset. Keep an open mind. Be charming and friendly. Do not send a representative in your stead, be your self, because any act or sham will come out later. Again this is something that took me four years to learn. When I date, I go on the date with one expectation, and that is to have fun. I enjoy the food, the conversation, the laughter, or whatever it is he has planned for the evening. Even if there is no love connection, I have opened up my life to a possible new acquaintance. There are some tried and true questions that one should ask on a date, most especially a first date. Truth be told, some questions should’ve been asked in advance. I firmly believe that when you meet a person, you can find out some things in the first twenty minutes o...

Saturday, I was invited to lunch with the members of the Soulful Readers Book Club. "THE PARTY", my debut novel was selected as their book of the month for May. I met Donna, Kelly, Kristin, and Kia, and had a blast. The ladies were very intuitive when it came to the characters of the novel, and Kristin even identified with one of the main characters. She stated that "Kendra" was her, in that she is the peace keeper of her circle of friends. Donna loved the aspect of the five women in the novel remaining friends through all of their trials and tribulations, and was amazed that these women told one another everything! She said that some women only tell about 40% of what goes on in their lives, yet these women shared 100%. I advised her that they didn't quite share 100% more like 80% because I based the characters on how I interact with my girls, my road dogs, my crew...whatever you choose to call them. My family are my true friends...I know that I can count on the...

The Romantic Times Book Lovers Convention celebrated their 25th year as the leader and authority on book reviews for romance writers. It took place this past week {5-14 to 5-21} in sunny Daytona Beach, FL. This 7 day convention was comprised of daily workshops conducted by various authors. I attended to receive my award for the Romantic Times BOOKreview 2005 Reviewers Choice Award for Best African American Novel, by a first time author for THE PARTY ! I co facilitated three workshops, with two other authors. The first workshop facilator did not attend, therefore, I was asked to step in to discuss the business of publishing. I am in the wrong business, because I truly have issues talking to large crowds of individuals. I introduced myself to the participants and discussed my book, and the self publishing process. The second workshop I discussed plotting your story and characters, and I was assisted by Leslie Esdaile, whom is a writer of thrillers, romance, and vampire erotica. The fina...
