will admit to reading romance novels since the age of twelve. "Romance readers share their books with friends and family.
My favorite authors are Terry McMillian, Eric Jerome Dickey and E. Lynn Harris, but I cut my teeth on Jerome Robbins, Jackie
Collins, Judith Krantz to Danielle Steele. Today I read a little bit of every body. I love James Baldwin, I think he was a
master story teller. Toni Morrison moves me like Zora Neale Hurston. And my favorite poets are Niki Giovanni and Maya Angelou.
I still read romances and love a great many of todays contemporary authors." Recently Roxann completed her second novel. MURDER
MOST MYSTIC, a mystery romance and is finishing up an inspirational romance and erotica novel and erotica anthology.
