About The Author
Keleigh Crigler Hadley is an author, speaker, and teacher who is thankful God can use her messes for His glory.

She has always loved stories, and she believes the story of the Bible contains the biggest, the most redemptive dose of grace humankind has ever, and will ever, experience. She is the Christian Fiction author of the Preacher's Kids series, Revenge Inc., and What You Won't Do for Love with Brown Girls Faith.

If she were to define herself in one sentence, she would say, "I'm a girl who loves to see God working."  Keleigh writes soul-stirring fiction, with real characters that stay with readers long after they have closed the book, (or turned the e-reader off.)  The only thing she loves more than writing is reading, so contact her on social media and let her know what you're reading!

BLOG SPOTLIGHT: Forever an Ex by Victoria Christopher Murray

Can you please tell us who is the person behind the pen.
There's no secret person.  I'm a woman who loves The Lord, her family, and friends.  I'm fiercely loyal and I try my best to help people without asking for anything in return.  I pray that I live with the heart of Christ.  I love to read, write, work-out, hang-out. I believe I'm living an incredible life.


What is your greatest achievement?
My greatest achievement is that I'm a published author.  Something I've wanted to do my entire life, and I'm doing it.  That is pretty darn incredible.


What do you wish more people knew about the publishing side of things?
That it's not as simple nor as easy as sitting down and putting words on paper. It takes so much work.  And I wish people understood that the writer has very little to do with the actual book if the writer is published by a traditional writer.  The publisher has final say on title, cover design, and sometimes will ask for the writer to pen the novel in a certain manner.   


What is your greatest fear?
Dying alone.


What author(s) has influenced your writing style? 
I don't know about influencing my writing style, because each author has their own writing style. But, I will say that Eric Jerome Dickey has helped me to improve my craft.  Not only as we talk to each other, but I read his novels like they're the encyclopedia of writing.  When I write with my writing twin, ReShonda Tate Billingsley, her writing challenges me to write better as well.


What type of legacy would you like to leave for your readers? 
The legacy that I would like to leave with my readers is that every novel I ever wrote, I gave it my best at that point of my career. I really would like to be known as a writer who was at the top of her craft game with every single book.  Though I write commercial fiction, in terms of books that I hope will be popular, I really hope that I will be known as a literary-commercial writer, if there is such a thing.


How important was a "platform" in selling your books?
Because I write fiction, a platform is not really necessary to write my novels. Though many of my novels do tackle current issues that are in the news.  


Do you have book signings coming up where readers can meet you? 
My summer tour promoting my new book, Forever An Ex will kick off very soon. In the coming weeks, you'll be able to get that information from my website www.victoriachristophermurray.com


Can you tell us about your upcoming project(s)? 
I have three projects coming up that I'm very, very excited about.  My June release, Forever an Ex really tackles the area of forgiveness and the cost of unforgiveness.  Then, next February I have my last book with ReShonda Tate Billingsley, featuring our characters Jasmine and Rachel.  Our readers have become used to the back and forth, hilarious antics of these two.  This last book will be very different.  Though there is still humor, we deal with deception and lies that have been carried through generations.  And finally my 2015 solo project is a novel titled, Stand Your Ground.  I don't think I have to say anything else about that one, do I?

“You slept with my aunt?”

The words still didn’t register, even though this had to be Tori’s fifth time saying them. She glared at her fiancé, still desperately trying to come to terms with the information her mother had blasted to everyone at the packed Thanksgiving dinner table.

“Seriously? How is that even humanly possible when you didn’t know the woman four hours ago?” Tori shouted.

“Tori, l-let me explain,” Dallas stammered.

Twelve pairs of eyes were now focused on the not-quite-blissful couple standing at the bottom of the stairs just off from the dining room.

Teaser
Chris Kline’s eyes fluttered open and he saw only darkness. He was lying on a cold, hard ground—concrete, he thought, naked—no wait, not naked. He still had his boxer briefs on. He sat up and as he did, a wave of unsteadiness came over him. Whoa. He shook his head, trying to clear cobwebs, and when his equilibrium settled enough, he tried to stand, but couldn’t because of a manacle fastened around his right ankle. He shivered.
Where am I?
What’s going on?
Think, Chris. Think!

About The Book

Pink and Patent LeatherPink and Patent Leather

Sasha “Pink” Jansen has heard the voice of God. He spoke loud and clear at her purity ceremony, when she was just sixteen years old and Pastor Malik Stroman placed that ring on her finger. And He was just as clear when He told her that purity ring would someday be replaced with a wedding ring from the same man . . . all Pink had to do was save herself. Dreams of a life with Pastor Malik were enough to keep the privileged princess committed to her vow, dodging all kinds of temptation, resisting every romance, and the whole time, keeping her eyes on the prize –the day she would become first lady. There’s just one problem - Pastor Malik already has a wife. But Pink is accustomed to getting what she wants - by any means necessary. With her grace and virtue on the line - and what she thinks is God’s word in her head - Pink is on a mission no one understands. She’s determined to show Pastor Malik that they belong together – and come hell or high water, she plans to get the good reverend to agree. Candy Jackson has penned a page-turning tale of one-woman’s quest for love and the spiraling descent she’ll take to get it.

It had been a long time, four years to be exact, but I was ready. The night I had been dreaming about was finally here. My life was playing out like a well-rehearsed script, and I had the starring role.
I wanted a life with him.
It was my time; sweet victory was in the air.
I was Sasha Simone Jansen and I had come to win.
Now, as I sat at my vanity poised and proper with my hair done and make-up flawless, I stared at my perfect cocoa complexion and smiled. I had to be the luckiest girl in the world. No, that wasn’t it. I’m a Christian, and we don’t believe in luck.

Teaser
Nothing would be the same again. That I knew for sure, though the uncertainty of what exactly that meant sloshed inside of me as I unlocked the door to my office and quietly asked my mother for guidance.
Instantaneously, a peace settled in my soul, just as I knew it would; but the question marks still pricked at my brain.
Three hours later, my secretary alerted me via the intercom that I had a phone call and the feelings of unrest surged again. I pushed the Talk button.
“Kingston speaking,” I said.
“Job well done, Kingston.
