I'm super excited! Last week, I received my galley of IT'S ALL LOVE: BLACK WRITERS ON SOUL MATES, FAMILY AND FRIENDS, a new anthology edited by Marita Golden. The book, which benefits the Hurston/Wright Foundation, includes my short story "Geraldine's Song."

The collection features some of my favorite literary heavyweights including Gwendolyn Brooks, Pearl Cleage, L.A. Banks, E. Ethelbert Miller, Kwame Alexander, Kim McLarin, Jill Nelson, Nikki Giovanni, Doreen Baingana, as well as my good friend Stacia Brown and one of my HALLWAY DIARIES coauthors Debbie Rigaud.

Regarding why she developed this collection, Golden said, "Like all the books I've written or edited, this anthology is an effort to answer a question. The question is Where is the love among Black folk? The theme of this book grew out of my desire to affirm black love, community and relationships at a time when in the media and in actuality they seem under siege."

You'll be hearing lots more about IT'S ALL LOVE as we get closer to the pub. date which is January 13. But if you just can't wait to have it, go ahead and pre-order your copy!
