Getting Skinny


Book Description

Owning a restaurant is as crazy for Nicky Landry as an alcoholic owning a bar. But despite having to cram herself into a body shaper to look decent in a dress, life is pretty good. She's throwing the party of the year for her graduating doctor boyfriend, Rob, who she's sure is going to propose—until his new girlfriend shows up at the party. After ordering Rob to get his stuff out of her house and get lost, Nicky finds him faceup with her expensive Chroma knife sticking right out of his cheating heart. As the prime suspect, Nicky is in hot water. And no matter how hard she tries to clear her name, her problems only mount. She's convinced she can solve the murder—if only she can figure out the identity of the skinny person seen walking away with Rob after the party. Getting "Skinny" won't be easy for Nicky, but she never imagined it would be life or death… 81,000 words

Born to Multiply


Book Description

THOUGHT PROVOKING. INVIGORATING. INSPIRATIONAL. A ROUSING ROADMAP FOR ANYONE WHO DESIRES TO TRANSFORM THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION AND DISCOVER HOW TO USE WHAT’S IN THEIR HANDS TO CREATE GENERATIONAL WEALTH AND TRUE FINANCIAL FREEDOM. LaShawne Holland never knew what she wanted to be when she grew up. Unlike her 3rd grade classmates, who wanted to be attorneys, astronauts, chefs, and doctors, she never had THAT vision. Her vision was unconventional and so was her answer to the teacher. “I DON’T WANT TO BE BROKE” were the words that escaped her mouth. Loud and clear, she confidently repeated it as second time as if the class didn’t hear her the first time as confirmation of her big dream. She was an honor roll student all throughout school, then in her 12th grade year, her High School Guidance Counselor told her in a meeting that “kids like you don’t go to college”. Confused and shocked by his comments, she left that meeting more determined than ever to not become the statistic that society would try to box her in to be. She went to college, working three jobs to pay her way through school, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and went to work in Corporate America. It didn’t take long for her to start to feel the uncomfortable tug in her heart that she didn’t want to be placed in a box and only make in a salary what her boss deemed she was worth. Born to Multiply is about seizing and taking hold of the promises of God in the bible where wealth and riches is concerned and apply them to your life. It’s about employing your gifts, that was placed inside of you before the foundations of the world to create wealth. LaShawne believes that wealth follows purpose and no one has the right to tell you that you can only have a certain income level. LaShawne disrupts the social-economic norms that society tries to tag children of teen parents with. In Born to Multiply, she shares her journey and helps the reader discover how to transform financial suffocation to financial success.
