My name is LaQueisha Malone, and I am the 2015 Award-Winning Author of the AAMBC Literary Awards for Poet of the Year. I am an avid reader. I write about real-life situations and how to use faith, prayer, and belief in God to overcome obstacles. Whether it’s Love, Marriage, & Divorce Anthology with Deshay and Quan; Sex, Lies, & Church Anthology with Nailah and Priscilla; or Secrets Amongst Friends with Naomi and Mya, you’ll see just how real I aim to get.
Almost a decade after I published my first book, I realized writing was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. When I’m not busy writing or mentoring authors, I enjoy family time with my family from watching TV, movies, outdoor play, or sporting events. My favorite TV shows are Once Upon A Time, Ghost Whisperer, Law & Order: SV
Secrets Amongst Friends
Once so sure of herself, but now broken by bitterness and rage, Naomi Marshall has to overcome the world-wind of temptations she has eagerly given in to. Yet, hold on to her traditional religious values. Her life seemed perfect on the outside, but inside she was a caregiver to a mother who sometimes let wine and alcohol control her actions.
Mya Benson was a troubled teen, who was no stranger to the courts. In search for something to believe in, Naomi seemed to be just the angel she had hoped for. Until she discovers the life she’s been running away from is not far behind her.
Could the strength they have acquired help them in their weakest hour, or will their lives unravel and take a turn for the worse?
