“Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right…It Makes Us Even” details my shocking past: good, bad, and ugly, along with dating relationships and all the life lessons I learned in between.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right…It Makes Us Even”?

Kennedee Devoe: My real life dating experiences have been horrific over the last 15-20 years. I knew that a lot of people could relate to one or more of my experiences. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Kennedee Devoe, author of Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right…It Makes Us Even →

“Damaged Angels” is my first collection of short fiction. The stories give voice to the invisible, the damaged: the drug addicts and hustlers, the mentally ill and the sick and the questioning and the men who fall in love with them.

Dr. Lenese Stringfield Puts the “Sex” in Sex Therapy as she takes the profession by storm with her new and innovative techniques. Her seductive nature and sexy demeanor has her clients eating out of the palm of her hand – among other things.

Lenese has loved once and lost. If she can’t be with the one she loves, she will love the one she’s with. But, amazing sex doesn’t come without a price tag.

Too bad life has a lesson to teach this freaky therapist! She will soon learn that Karma is the ‘one bitch’ that has everyone’s address. Fooling around with another woman’s husband is dangerous, but falling in love with one can be deadly.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Dicmatized: The Doctor Is In”?

Dyphia: My grandmother always wanted to be a writer, so I dabbled in a little erotic poetry myself. One day, my cousin Neiima Edwards read some of my poetry and told me I should write a book. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Dyphia, author of “Dicmatized: The Doctor Is In” →
