5 Minutes, 5 Questions With…
Sereniti Hall, author of Still Feenin’
(Wahida Clark Presents)

Still Feenin’ is the sequel to the first novel that I wrote titled Feenin’, which was also published by Wahida Clark Presents. They both are about a young woman struggling to survive.

In the first novel, the main character is fighting a crack addiction. Still Feenin’ takes it to another level. In SF, she still has her temptations for crack, but she wants more out of life than what her past provided her.

Tanisha wants to be independent and maintain her sobriety. She also wants real love and friendship. SF shows how you can look for love and friends often in the wrong places. As humans, we take that chance and have to find out the hard way that every friendship is not worth pursuing.

Tanisha learns this quickly after being so naïve. Because of her past, she’s forced to fight for what she believes in while trying to keep the monkey and the haters off her back.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Still Feenin’?

Sereniti Hall: After I’d written my first novel, Feenin’, with the inspiration of my mom, my daughters, and reading Wahida’s Payback is a Mutha and Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Sereniti Hall, author of Still Feenin’ →

L.A. Smith, author of Making Love Last
(Black Angle Publishers)

Making Love Last exposes added layers of conflicting feelings from the characters of the first novel, Love ‘n Time, highlighting the many obstacles they encounter while making and keeping their romantic connections.

He’s a powerful man in the court room but a babbling idiot with women; that is until he meets the lovely Erion. Will Criminal Attorney Victor Rowe finally win the heart of the only woman he’s ever loved at first sight? He seems to think his charm is enough to reel her in to his arms but will her sordid past put a halt to this story book romance?

Is it possible for one man to be in love with two women … at the same time? DaRon Mitchell didn’t think so until it happened to him. His tangled life with his childhood girlfriend and his college sweetheart was going smoothly until a near tragic experience makes him a changed man. He realizes it’s time to settle down and commit to one woman. But the one who get’s the boot doesn’t go away so easily.

Taleed Wallace fought the mother of his son in and out of the courts so that he could be a father without having so much distance between the two of them. Even though he despises her decision to have the child, he finds himself protecting Candice from the physical abuse inflicted on her by her boyfriend. But, Taleed has a secret that constantly he can’t share with his friends now.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Making Love Last?

L.A. Smith: My inspiration came early while reading great works from Edgar Allen Poe, Hemingway, and John Steinbeck. These authors could tell Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… L.A. Smith, author of Making Love Last →
