I met writer,novelist and professor Jamaica Kincaid

Have any one ever read a novel by writer, novelist and professor Jamaica Kincaid? She was the main speaker at the Authors! Authors! event at a local library in my area. She stated that her mother punished her by making her read the bible and dictionary over and over again. I really learned a lot from her. I picked up her audio book on CD and I listen to it in my car. I really like her style of writing. If I didn't her her story I wouldn't have even though about listen to her CD. The book is called SEE NOW THEN .I am glad I went.

I want to become a successful Author

I woke up this morning and I hit the books. I am not just trying to be another author, I want to be a successful self published author. I know it will take time and knowledge. I love learning new things. I am reading Self-Publishing for Dummies and I am reading Become A Successful Author, both books are very helpful. Thanks for reading my blog please leave a comment and tell me what you think!

The characters in my novels

When people read my books I want them to get to know the characters. I want them to be able to feel each character emotions. I just don’t pick up my pen and write. I think first and the characters just pop into my mind. At night, sometimes I can’t sleep because I get an idea in my head; I get up and write it down. At that moment I might write a whole chapter because I have to get it on paper while the ideas are fresh in my mind. Thanks for reading my blog, please leave a comment!

My Debut Novel Available Spring 2013

Girlfriends Secrets A Novel by Charmaine Galloway

Meet Tyra, Alisha, and Brittany. These young women have been good friends since high school. Like most close friends, they have shared secrets and had ups and downs with one another. They’ve also managed to maintain and solidify healthy, trusting friendships with each other through the years…or so it seemed. More recently, there has been a change in atmosphere amongst them. Suspicion? Betrayal? Dishonesty? Their friendship is about to be put to the test with the secrets they hold.
Tyra Bell is a single mother who has seen hardships and trials. She’s led a tumultuously torrid lifestyle before the birth of her son. Good decisions and sound judgment were not within her character before he was born. Since becoming a mom, Tyra made the decision to become a devout Christian. She realizes that her son deserves a family and is preparing herself and waiting on God to send her life-mate. While becoming accustomed to her walk as a Christian, Tyra’s faith is shaken to its core when she receives a phone call. Her party past and bad decisions could cost her the most valuable things she has…her son.

Brittany Parker is the epitome of a “KEPT” woman. This self-centered house wife of a successful medical doctor lives her life under the premise that life (hers at least) is too perfect to have a care in the world. But major marital problems arise when her husband becomes a workaholic. How else can he afford this woman and her lavish lifestyle? He always was big on the idea: work hard, PLAY hard. She must’ve been too busy spending his money to notice….

Alisha Wright is a dedicated mother of two children. Dedicated to raising her family, she unselfishly sacrifices her own joys and desires to efficiently meet her responsibilities as a mom. Alisha’s children are not the only people who enjoy the fruit of her toil and selflessness. She would go to any measure to stay in a relationship with her son’s father and he knows it. Will his manipulation and deception lead her to abandon her priorities? Alisha needs her friends for support but insists on baring this heartache on her own.

As the lives of these friends unfold they each have opportunities to reflect. It is then secrets and truths are revealed. Will the secrets ruin their lifelong friendships?

My debut poetry book

Available on Amazon Spring 2013

My World, Through My Eyes is a heartfelt collection of poems, reflections, and prayers that represent the trials and triumphs of the poet’s past.
As a teen, Charmaine found joy in writing in her journal. It was therapeutic as it allowed her to escape from the negativity of her world. She wrote all of her thoughts, feelings, and emotions on paper. Having a positive outlet for this emotion and creativity encouraged her to see that there IS positive light even within the hardships she has endured.

Charmaine believes that her purpose in life is to share her testimony of Faith. In this book, she shares one of the most valuable and essential lessons she has learned on her journey. Learning to Let Go and Let God intervene in her life and heal her from her sinful past has been the most life changing, validating, and peace yielding decision she has made for herself. Come and witness Charmaine’s poetic reflection of life which has molded her into the strong, devoted mother and Christian she is today.
