Acknowledgments:

             
This book has been a long time coming. I started it and stopped it,
started and stopped again,
yet the characters wouldn’t let me forget about them. I want to thank Sugah for always staying in the back of my mind and then coming out just at the right time.

I want to thank all of the people who have been somebody else in their lifetime, in order to make it in the world. We sometimes do crazy things to fit in, gain acceptance, or even to reach our destiny
, but the main reason is MONEY!
I want to thank Glory, my mother for simply being my Charlotte.
Sunshine loves you to pieces! I want to thank my Daddy for not just
be
ing
a
father but also a
great man, who loves his children. I want to thank my sibling
s, Shan, Erica, and Trey
.
Thanks for the long talks about characters, plots, and all the other stuff I bothered you with. (Ya’ll wouldn’t have it any other way, and neither would I)
I want to thank my loving husband who was neglected as I stayed up late nights giving life to these amazing characters. You are a great man, and I love you Bae! To my children for being m
y motivation: Liah and Lil Louis
. You are my world!

Last but certainly not least, I want to thank God for blessing me with words that I am able to transform into stories. As long as I have movement in my fingers, I will write.

“Sugah and Spice”

Chapter 1

             
Sugah sat at her computer thinking of what she wanted to write about today. Her blog was turning out better than she imagined, getting feedback from people she least expected. Her own mother called daily to tell her how much she looked forward to reading it. Even her old college professor admitted to being a big fan of it. Sugah smiled at that thought because she and Professor Love had never seen eye to eye when it came to her writing and subject matter. She was always the out-spoken, more challenging student in his class and he secretly welcomed her smart comments and passion about the various topics he
r
gave to write about. Their love-hate relationship created a buzz around campus and provided entertainment for the students enrolled in the same class as Sugah. They were fascinated by her bluntness and ability to somehow never back down from his arrogant behavior when it came to something
s
he felt so strongly about. Sugah gave him something to ponder
about
when class was over and Professor Love looked forward to their debates, which was why he was such a fan and great supporter of her blog. He couldn’t wait until she stopped talking about it and wrote a novel someday.
Sugah couldn’t believe how much her life had changed. She closed her eyes to focus. She had to get something written today.
