Be creative and think out of the box!

Have you ever moved your Rotary club meeting for the week? During Vocational Service month why not invite your club members to your place of business. This makes an interesting meeting, at a different location, they will learn more about you and your business. The meal can be a box lunch or a Continental breakfast. Invite an industry spokesperson to speak about the industry.

Quoted from a review in Amazon.com
Voted Best Urban Fiction 2005, March 3, 200

Reviewer: Mahogany Book Club "Mahogany Media Review" (Albany, N.Y.) - See all my reviews

Forever My Lady is remarkable love story. Dio is sent to boot camp and later finds out his lady is pregnant. The only thing he can think of is getting back home to her. While at camp you see Dio grow from a thug into a man. You root for him and you hope that he and Jennifer can stand the winds of time. The supporting characters are well developed. This was an oustanding story. I hate the fact that Rivera left me hanging for the next book. I'm left with so many questions as to what will happen next. come on with book 2.
