About The Book
The soon to be released novel, IT’S FINALLY MY TIME is an empowering story about personal growth and giving yourself permission to love who you are. George Blake moves to Miami with a devious scheme to take over Earl Hicks’ businesses; but his plans blow up and Earl’s secrets are exposed. George lures Betty Singleton, Mr. Hicks’, middle-aged, secretary, as his decoy. When she discovers his treachery, her pain becomes the instrument to personal elevation. She decides that it is her time to accept and celebrate who she really is.

Publisher’s Comments
This is an extraordinary look at how obstacles can be one’s stepping stones to a providentially planned, higher level of spirituality and self-actualization. This book also addresses the consequential harvest of sowing and reaping seeds of greed and self-indulgence. It is the author’s aim to leave the reader this message: “Only you have the power to learn from your mistakes. And in life we all make unwise decisions. So what they’re yours! But your perception of a situation can evoke wisdom, strength and enlightenment to yourself and for others. It’s all up to you, to understand that, it’s not all about you. Become better, not bitter. Love yourself, accept your decisions- no matter the outcome, treat yourself good…go ahead, you deserve it! And God knows that after taking care of everyone else and making them happy, IT’S FINALLY YOUR TIME!”

Other Contributions:
As five is the number of grace and God’s grace is sufficient, the author will list five poems, written on T-shirts, to accompany the debut book title. You may order whatever you like or order all five and consider gifts to friends. Each one sold with a book will be discounted.
