I love writing, reading, and cooking (oh yeah and eating!). My first novel is entitled “Promises Made, Promises Kept”. It follows the life of Mia Lawson, a teen from Atlanta that has to face the challenges of dealing with her mother’s mental illness and addiction as well as her father abandoning his family because of her mother’s issues.  &lt;a href="http://www.tamaragrant.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Learn More...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2194726760449809128-2823963836763730959?l=sistahshowcase.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sistahshowcase.blogspot.com/feeds/2823963836763730959/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2194726760449809128&amp;postID=2823963836763730959' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2194726760449809128/posts/default/2823963836763730959'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2194726760449809128/posts/default/2823963836763730959'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sistahshowcase.blogspot.com/2008/03/tamara-angela-grant-cooling-board.html' title='Tamara Angela Grant...

I was a precocious kid, the one who always asked, “Why?” As a teenager I loved reading books because it was the perfect escape from my small hometown. I’d meet interesting people and travel to exciting places, all without leaving the Michael Jackson (don't laugh, he was "IT" back in the day) covered walls of my bedroom. So it's no wonder that I eventually became a writer. After many "stops" and "goes", I finally did it...I'm a published author! I love what I do, and there's no greater feeling than that! I'm living life and lovin' it! &lt;a href="http://www.tricehickman.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Learn More...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2194726760449809128-525014841755891915?l=sistahshowcase.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sistahshowcase.blogspot.com/feeds/525014841755891915/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2194726760449809128&amp;postID=525014841755891915' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2194726760449809128/posts/default/525014841755891915'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2194726760449809128/posts/default/525014841755891915'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sistahshowcase.blogspot.com/2008/03/trice-hickman.html' title='Trice Hickman...Unexpected Interruptions'/><author><name>Tifany</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ygPfl-SQZ9s/R9YKIjgZIUI/AAAAAAAAAS8/xODofGLRx60/s72-c/trice.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194726760449809128.post-7567105670359478644</id><published>2008-03-06T22:41:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-15T00:39:16.516-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Stefanie Worth...Where Souls Collide</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ygPfl-SQZ9s/R9DY7vZ8znI/AAAAAAAAAMI/p6ioZzmRN_g/s1600-h/Worth_headshot_square3-182x231.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174874492697890418" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ygPfl-SQZ9s/R9DY7vZ8znI/AAAAAAAAAMI/p6ioZzmRN_g/s200/Worth_headshot_square3-182x231.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Everyday women rule my stories. In life and love, these heroines have taken chances with their choices. When ordinary circumstances thrust them into supernatural situations, their real world savvy butts against new extrasensory skills as they search for answers to the unexplainable. Unexpected empowerment brings altered perspective, tough decisions, and the promise of second chances. &lt;a href="http://stefanieworth.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Learn More...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2194726760449809128-7567105670359478644?l=sistahshowcase.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sistahshowcase.blogspot.com/feeds/7567105670359478644/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2194726760449809128&amp;postID=7567105670359478644' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2194726760449809128/posts/default/7567105670359478644'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2194726760449809128/posts/default/7567105670359478644'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sistahshowcase.blogspot.com/2008/03/stefanie-worth.html' title='Stefanie Worth...Where Souls Collide'/><author><name>Tifany</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ygPfl-SQZ9s/R9DY7vZ8znI/AAAAAAAAAMI/p6ioZzmRN_g/s72-c/Worth_headshot_square3-182x231.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
