Why does "The Heart Breaker Gang" series matter so much to me as a writer?

It's simple, actually. It gave me the chance to explore various tropes, personality types, and conflicts that are both relatable and far-fetched. As a black writer, I wanted to see characters that readers can connect with while still enjoying the feel of being in a fictional world.

With this series, a reader will be able to do two things. Understand the struggles of the characters while fantasizing about a knight in shining armor fixing our FMC's problems. With a snap of a finger and a stack of hundred-dollar bills.😍 #blackromancereads #blackromancereader #blackromanceauthor #NewSeriesAlert #blackwriters

“Why did I decide on a series?”

As you know “The Dare” was a short story. Once I completed the remastered edition I couldn’t let these characters go. There were several stories that I was in a never ending cycle of procrastination with. Then I found a common theme that linked seven MCs together. Seven friends, all avoiding commitment at some point in their dating life, meet their matches. The Heart Breaker Gang stemmed from my interest from question, “If love is simple, why do we make it so complicated?”
