REAL WIFEYS: GET MONEY written as Meesha Mink - January 10, 2012

This is an urban fiction novel. There is lots of  strong language, violence, and plenty of sex.  Although the characters may do illegal things to “make it” or survive,  I never glorify them or their story. In fact, there’s a message in the madness.

RECKLESS by Cydney Rax, Niobia Bryant, and Grace Octavia – April 24, 2012

This is a mainstream fiction anthology with three novellas.  My novella is entitled Sinful and if you enjoyed the sexy, adult drama of the Mistress series this should tickle your fancy. Careful: its sexy! This is not a woman’s fiction novel that may be seen as romance or romantic situations with a little more edge.

More info on this anthology about indecent proposals coming soon.

MISTRESS, INC. by Niobia Bryant – May, 29 2012

This is  mainstream fiction with some strong language, lots of drama, adult themes and sex.  The mainstream novels are all about drama but also growth.  These hardly ever have the romantic happily ever as the character face real life situations that do not always lead to a satisfying end.  There may be some violent situations but nothing as strong as my urban fiction.

More info on this follow-up to Message from a Mistress and Mistress No More coming soon.

RED HOT by Niobia Bryant – September 2012

Now this is a romance. A classic romance.  Boy meets girl and girl gets mad at boy (or vice versa), boy and girl make up and live happily ever after.  If you are not a fan of these mass market babies and like more drama filled storylines then this book is not for you.  Although I do believe I write romance that are more realistic and sexy than most, I understand that not everyone enjoys the genre.

This final installment of my popular Strong family series is all about Kaitlyn finding the man to love her despite her spoiled ways. Just like all my other romances, it will be “sexy, funny, and oh so real!” More info coming soon.

GLAMOROUS by Simone Bryant – (Postponed Release Date. Stay tuned for updates on future publication date)

This is teen fiction–also know as young adult fiction or YA.  This is completely for tweens, teens and teens at heart. Also I chose not to have ANY profanity or pre-marital sex in the books because I want anyone from nine and up to enjoy a story that is all about fun and frivolity–just as it should be for children, right? (Adults: if you are unable to take yourself back in time to being a tween or teen then please do not read my books or post reviews bashing it because….you are an adult who can not remember being a tween. o_O. I wrote this for my younger cousins who were excited to read books by their cousin “the writer”. It’s not for adults! Duh!!)

Glamorous is book 3 in the Pace Academy series and for more on the first two books, FABULOUS and FAMOUS, please visit: http://niobia.wordpress.com/young-adult-ya-fiction/
