​A few weeks ago I responded with some tips related to experiences I had with successful 'giveaways' in the Readers' Favorite Forum online. This afternoon, I got this email from ReadersFavorite.com:

Congratulations, you have won the Readers' Favorite Forum Best Tip Contest! As a thank you for your wonderful tips we can offer you a free 5 Express Review package ($199 value) or entry into our contest with up to 4 categories ($304 value)! You can have either prize and you can use it for any book you like. Just let me know what works best for you. Sincerely, James Ventrillo

I responded with deep gratitude and suggested that since I just entered my book, Loving to be WE, in the RF contest in 4 categories, on June 1, I'd like to use the prize money for those entries. They agreed and are refunding my $304!! Life is Good.

I'm Back with Great News

Ahh, I see that it's been more than three years since I last wrote on this blog. I've been writing, but I haven't been sharing my experiences and thoughts here. It's my intention to become a regular blogger; we'll see how it goes. Much of my writing has been as Editor of FunTimes Magazine, Celebrating the African and Caribbean Diaspora. It's a 100-page, colorful, classy publication that features many of its articles online and through Facebook and Instagram. Do check it out!

If that's not enough great news, there's more! I've finished writing my memoir, Loving to be WE, focusing on my amazing 'Jamaican Journey' for the past 23 years. I submitted it to be reviewed at the website Readersfavorite.com and received the highest 5-star rating. My main confidant and supporter throughout my 'Journey,' Dr. Wendy Crawford, a university sociology professor and author in Grenada, wrote the thought-provoking forward. Seven others, I'm honored to call friends, drew upon their extensive expertise to share engaging reviews as well. I've now entered my manuscript into the Readersfavorite competition. Stay tuned ... the results will be announced September 1. I expect to publish by then.
