I can hardly believe that little ‘ol’ me was on stage with the Rickey Smiley For Real as we celebrated the release of his new book, Sideshow. But it truly happened.
Sideshow is an amazing book, please go get your copy. It is an easy read and it will bless you.

Yes Weekly on Vanessa Miller 9 Apr 2024 12:36 AM (last year)
From the article:
Award-winning author Vanessa Miller began using her writing skills to make money while in high school. No, it was not for the beginning of a long list of novels that includes 52 titles. It was for poetry she wrote and sold to classmates when they needed one for an assignment.
“I think I got 25 or 50 cents for each one,” she said with a smile.
Miller was in her 30s when she published her first novel Former Rain. After self-publishing three novels, she was picked up by Urban Christian Publishers, who republished her first three books as well as the following two in Miller’s Rain series. Time restraints later found her once again self-publishing for a while before once more working with publishing houses.
