Author Quote- “It’s a professional autobiography of sorts. I have been on-line for years. Back in the day, I had a popular Marcus Camby fan site named Cambyism. Imissthe80s has been online for four years. Thabiz is a buzzing celebrity interview and pop culture site. I’ve been a writer for as long as I can remember and I share the concept to conception details of my books and websites. The pictures in the book are candid. I know I wrote it so I’m biased, but I think it’s totally awesome. I’ve never seen a book like this. It’s so personal, I really feel like people will know what I have been through and the challenges I face as a writer, military spouse, mother, and female entertainment journalist.”
