5:09
sure are okay. But first, before we get to Anika, we got
5:13
to find out about miss right. So tell us a little bit about yourself.
5:17
Well, I am an author. I've been an author since twenty twenty
5:20
two. In April, I broke out with my first book, which is
5:26
The Coalkeepers Each Side a which is a ten book, good literature street book,
5:34
and I have five more that I've already released, So there's a total
5:39
six out there already and we're still working so we are almost done. Cool.
5:47
But I'm I'm a writer, I'm a poet. I also have romance
5:54
books out. I have an erotic book out that we talked the last time
5:58
about, which is strong addiction, and I'm this is considered a romance book,
6:03
So Favors is a romance book. I have another one out called Mind
6:06
of a Writer, and that one will uh, it'll be next week.
6:14
It'll be free on Amazon. So if you have not read any books from
6:18
me, I have two books that will be free next week. It's going
6:24
to be part of a book event, but it will be free on Amazon
6:27
as well. Let's see. I am a mother, I'm a wife.
6:31
I have two kids. I have a fifteen year old and I have a
6:34
twenty well about to be twenty two years old next month. Yes, girl,
6:46
cheap bulls want to talk about you got a baby there? Oh yes,
6:50
ma'am twenty two. She'll be twenty two on the second of July.
6:55
What happy birthday, sweetheart. Yes, So that's about it. I have
7:00
a total eleven books out. Let me say that I have eleven books out
7:05
and more to come. I have a few more books I'm releasing this year,
7:10
and I decided, like about a month ago that I would be really
7:14
sing a book every month next year. So yeah, okay, So I'm
7:23
seeing all these genres that you are walking over. Okay, so I'm hearing
7:27
romance, I'm hearing erotica, and I'm here in Street. Out of those
7:31
three, which is your favorite to write and why my favorite to actually write
7:40
is probably a romance. I just discovered that too recently. I have been.
7:45
When I started two years ago, I was just kind of just you
7:47
know, writing, and I wasn't sure which one I was comfortable with or
7:51
which genre I like more. I love her books, so I came alive.
7:57
That's why I got six of them out already. But I see myself
8:01
growing, and so with growth, I'm seeing a development in my writing.
8:07
And I seem to enjoy writing romance novels. I love relationships, and I'm
8:15
also a poet, so with being a poet and I call myself a hopeless
8:20
romantic, then my books are starting to reflect that as well. So I
8:24
think that's where we're going to be headed in my new season. Because I
8:28
just had a birthday last week, so this will be my new season going
8:31
forward. Well, a happy birthday. Happy birthday, So I'm gonna be
8:35
a little nosyday June seventh. Okay, Well, I don't do too aren't
8:46
too much and nothing. I went to the movies. I did see Bad
8:48
Boys. I was good. I went out to the speech, kind of
8:52
hung out a little bit, and I got some dinner. My family treat
8:56
me dinner. What I do, just relaxed. I didn't do too much
9:01
and nothing. I just wanted to be outside because I'm always indoors writing all
9:05
the time. How you think I got all these let the books went outside
9:07
too much, so I had become you know, inside, So now it
9:11
was time to go outside. I took a little break. So I went
9:13
out outside for a minute and just kind of, you know, enjoyed life
9:16
a little bit. And then I came back. So so all these books,
9:24
now we're talking by favor Missinka. Now, I have never read a
9:28
book that had an entrepreneurship as in hair products and beauty products. That's the
9:41
first. I've always read books where she's a hairstylist, or she's a model,
9:48
or she real estate. That's another one that's popular in the African American
9:56
books sector. So what in the world will give us their products in the
10:01
skin line? Where did that come from? Well, my husband, he's
10:07
an entrepreneur slash hustler. We just don't put it out there. He gonna
10:13
kill me for this too. So so he is constantly in stuff like trying
10:18
to do something, getting something going all the time. And he came up
10:22
with an idea of this company for us to do together. He was going
10:28
to, you know, get these skin line products and he was going to
10:31
actually introduce them to all of you and we were going to get this line
10:37
started. So this is funny, and this is how this story. That's
10:41
how I got the name for her product line, which is called in Coslows,
10:45
because we were trying to think of a name of the product line,
10:46
and that's what it was. But we set on it and we hadn't really
10:50
used it. So I was writing this book and I thought about a position
10:56
for Anika, and I said, you know what she needs to be online
11:00
influencers, slash ball slash I need something that is uh that will make her
11:07
that on that level and to the point where she's getting she's like, you
11:11
know, constantly wondering about what's going on having her input and everything, and
11:16
so I asked my husband, I said, are you okay if I use
11:20
the namest cosmos that's her product line, and he was like, I don't
11:24
care. You know you don't care. So I said, all right,
11:26
So I put it on there and that's how she came about. But it's
11:31
something because I know in social media, health and beauty is probably top tier
11:35
tiers as far as everything. So I definitely wanted to make her to point,
11:41
especially with all the things that she does in this book, I have
11:43
to make sure that she has enough paper to do the things that she wants
11:48
to do. She's on her way to a billionaire status. That you mean
11:52
enough paper book? Yeah, her product seems like Anita is having the same
12:01
problem that everybody else is having, that trying to find a man problem.
12:09
Tell us a little bit about Anita and where where she's going with trying to
12:20
find a man. Don't give away the book now, don't do that,
12:24
but trying to help myself that need a man maybe we can have all right,
12:28
Well, so miss Anka her problem she's had. She has dated men
12:37
previously, but she has the problem that, like you said, the other
12:39
woman have where he's not all the way complete. It's always something missing,
12:46
and she is upset about it, and she making too much money for her
12:50
not to have all the things that she wants. And so miss Anita decides
12:56
to have this thing called favors, and she is looking for everything top tier
13:09
and I mean top tier. He got to have skills on all levels.
13:13
So basically what is happening here is she's building the perfect man with several men.
13:20
She's getting all her treats and everything from all different types of men that
13:26
have one specific job. And that's how this is coming about. So she
13:31
has a schedule that these men are too folow and she pays them for these
13:37
favors that so she can have them whatever she wants. Okay, I'm gonna
13:46
be totally honest, everybody. I have not read the book. So that's
13:50
why y'all see the look of so so. So it's basically happened is if
14:03
she has about three, three or four dudes that she risits regularly, and
14:09
yeah, they give her what she's paying them for, and I bet you
14:13
she's gonna fall in love with one of the money. Well, the kicker
14:18
in this book is she has a bodyguard and her bodyguard duty is to protect
14:24
her body and so when she goes to do favors, he is with her.
14:31
And basically what's happening. He has saved her a couple of times,
14:35
so he's like the Superman to her Lois Lafe and and she's had since she
14:41
makes all this money, she's gotten attacked, she's gotten you know, almost
14:45
ride and so basically she had changed this contract so that he can be with
14:50
her everywhere she goes, and I've been mean everywhere he's in the bedroom.
14:56
Also, wild things are going down because she don't trust these dudes that she's
15:03
with because of her previous encounters with her being robbed. So she has an
15:09
issue, and so she hired a bodyguard to protect her and he is to
15:13
be there everywhere she goes, and he takes her everywhere she goes to her
15:18
appointments. Her following in love is with the bodyguard. I was trying to
15:24
hold that infu of logs, like they say, the one you need is
15:30
the one right under your nose, but you just don't see, Okay.
15:33
So I want to know what in the world gave you the idea of the
15:39
this book Favorites, because what you're telling me this is like some lifetime b
15:45
E T B E T Puss stuff, righting, So please explain to me
15:50
how did you come up with this crazy idea? Well, remember we talked
15:54
the last time, and I told you I had a book that I got
15:58
from a hip hop song from Nas. And Nas had this song where he
16:03
had put together a perfect a woman, his one, and he named several
16:10
celebrities and there are particular features and he made this woman and he rapped about
16:15
it and saw So when I listened to it, I said, now,
16:18
this would be dope for a woman to be her perfect dude. And so
16:25
since I'm a writer and not a rapper, I decided to make this into
16:29
a book and make it an interesting type of deal where she has money and
16:33
she could actually do these type of things and get away with it. She
16:37
has contracts everything. Oh, she's not playing, she's not playing. She
16:42
wants what she wants when she wants it. She's a definitely, she's definitely
16:47
a boss when it comes to this. That's crazy. That is literally crazy.
16:52
Like I do remember talking about the Nads and this, Yeah, and
16:56
that was like what the last a part of last year. Yep, with
17:03
this already and just mm hmm. You you ain't lie, you ain't never
17:11
lie. But we're gonna take commercial break, and you know we're gonna come
17:15
back. Is I got some more questions because I want to know how she
17:18
did it? I want I wanta So we're gonna take a break, you
17:22
guys, We're coming back to talk to Mustasha Wright about Anika and her fevers.
17:27
Okay, y'all come back. Okay, we'll keep on going. We'll
17:42
keep on until she gets it. So okay, h why bring the bodyguard?
17:52
Why not use one of the other men that she had? Why get
17:57
the unsuspected sorry bodyguard? Dummies is actually sitting down here watching all this,
18:04
like, oh, he has a full attitude too. He is not happy
18:07
with it. So we have an issue. And they have what is called
18:11
a love hate relationship, her and the bodyguard. So this is how this
18:17
is our work. And he hates the idea of all these favors. He
18:19
hates every last one of these guys. He's told her about it. She
18:23
does not care. She's gonna do her and so that's where there lies the
18:30
issue. But he's getting paid, so he has to do what she is
18:33
required from to do. But it's tiring, believe me. And we get
18:37
to a point where he's like, you know what, I'm done. I
18:40
can't because he's falling in love with her and she doesn't know that he's secretly
18:45
in love with her. Well, he has hints he does kind of and
18:48
she kind of just waves it off. But there's a reason for her throwing
18:52
it off because she said that in her past she's dated guys and they've all
18:56
been disappointing in certain areas, so she didn't trust them at all, like
19:00
as far as being the perfect guy, and the whole time he was always
19:04
there. See, man, I'm through with you right now. I'm just
19:11
through with you with this book because I see if I read this book,
19:14
I'm saying I'm gonna be fussed at this book because I'm gonna be mad that
19:18
the bodyguard is taking all this like this is your woman, you want her.
19:22
It's like like like, I'm you know, I told you I'm a
19:27
different world fanatic. I'm thinking Withney when she was dating uh Byron and the
19:36
other guy she was going out with, just to make the wing yellous like
19:40
this is your woman, go after your woman, Like this is what I'm
19:44
feeling. So can you tell us what you're saying? This is romance?
19:51
What makes this romance? Because I'm getting a little bit of spicy, like
19:56
erotic. So why do you think that this should be in the category of
20:00
romance? Okay, Well, the reason why is because a number was a
20:06
couple of things that are happened in the book. Well, she has girlfriends
20:07
and she goes on a birthday weekend get away with her girlfriends. They have
20:14
been trying to get her to go out because she's so into her work,
20:18
because she's she's she loves her her, that's her baby, the Health and
20:22
Beauty skin Cosmos. That's her baby. She don't want nobody touching it.
20:26
She the boss. Okay, that's just basically how it goes. And she's
20:30
always constantly in the mix. So the girls are trying her friends are trying
20:33
to get her out of it. She hates her birthdays. She has a
20:37
problem with her birthdays. So this is her birthday weekend. They're trying to
20:41
get her out of the house. So they arrange this birthday get away with
20:45
the bodyguard who knows her like the back of his head, and he helps
20:49
with aiding to get her birthday to get her to the away to this birthday
20:55
get away that she did is totally gets They had to kind of sneak her
20:59
into get into the airplane and going, but when she gets there, she
21:03
realizes how much she needed it. And at the same time, what makes
21:07
it a romance is during this getaway her feelings surface about her body so she
21:15
actually has feelings for her bodyguard, but she's been kind of brushing them off
21:21
because she didn't she doesn't really think that he is the perfect man for her,
21:26
and he turns out to be just that. This is like some Witney
21:30
used in and Kevin Coinster and the bodyguard, you know at the end when
21:34
she gets off the clane and she runs back to him and yeah, well
21:40
this is basically happening in this book. And on top of that, her
21:42
friend ends up finding romance in love as well, so she falls in love
21:48
with his assistant who takes his place. Because it's a long story with this
21:52
book, because he actually leaves and he's like done and he leaves and does
21:56
his own thing because he realized is that Anika doesn't respect him and that's why
22:03
she won't move forward with him, because she works he works for her.
22:08
And she considers him beneath her. As far as you know, he's not
22:12
a boss. She's a boss. So he bosses up, okay, and
22:18
you know he has to come with her correctly. So that's what happens.
22:22
So let me ask you a question. Now, we talked last year,
22:27
how what is the biggest change you've seen in your writing career from last year
22:33
to now? Well, one thing is what we just talked about. As
22:37
far as my season happening, my writing is definitely matured. I can see
22:42
that. Me and my editor to talk about this all the time. Character
22:47
development is has been a real big thing for me that I have been working
22:51
hard at trying to do and it's showing up in my books. And I'm
22:56
loving that because with the character development, I can build this wonderful world around
23:02
that and it just it just goes and I love it. And that's how
23:06
I ended up coming up with this book because I built Anika up first,
23:10
and I knew by her being a boss, I had to have a man
23:14
to match her, not to the point where he had to be a boss,
23:18
but he eventually be bossed up and had to and she had no choice
23:22
but to accept him as an equal so, and I thought that was a
23:26
great idea to do. But down on top of that, her her sexual
23:30
favors have. Yeah, that was interesting to me because all of these like
23:37
there's three different guys basically it's four, but I only talked about three in
23:41
the book detailed. But one of them he is also a potential, but
23:47
he doesn't really get a whole bunch of shine in the book because I was
23:51
like, you know what, I think I'm good with these three. So
23:53
nobody knows that her trainer is actually a potential as well, but he only
23:57
has a small kamy on the book because by the time I was about to
24:02
introduce him stuff was going down. I was like, we just need to
24:03
go ahead and get on to the good stuff. So yeah, so that's
24:07
what's basically happening in the book, and that's how I think. That's one
24:11
of the things that has happened for me, is the character development and that
24:15
I'm switching into the more Like the next book I have coming out is an
24:19
urban urban life book, and I enjoyed that so much. I really did.
24:25
I When I wrote that book, I was like, I really do.
24:29
I was so comfortable. I did it with ease and so it was
24:32
just like, Okay, I'm enjoying this. So the urban life and romance
24:36
has kind of growing on me a lot. So that's what's changed since last
24:38
year. Okay, so now you said urban life. That's the first time
24:42
ever hearing it, and you got to explain to me what urban life is.
24:48
Well, urban life is just the life, just regular life, just
24:53
just regular life that everybody lives day to day with issues and problems and things
24:59
that are going on on, you know, just in their life. Like
25:02
for instance, the book that's coming out now, it's a mother that's narrating
25:07
the book and she has five sons that she's trying to get to the altar,
25:11
and so that's basically what's happening. And so the urban life is there
25:15
going through life to get to the altar. Oh lord, she said,
25:21
fine, Lord. One she got five So she's an older woman, so
25:26
she got five grow sons. So does when you say urban life, does
25:30
this have the grittiness of the street or is this just regular urban contemporary?
25:37
Because I love how the way you said urban life, and I think I'm
25:38
gonna I'm gonna take that one from me and use that word. Hope you
25:41
don't mind, because a lot of people when I said urban contemporary, they're
25:45
thinking what in the world was contemporary? But when you say urban life,
25:51
that simplifies it we to the point I think they can grasp it real quick,
25:56
right. Matter of fact, how did you even come up with that
25:59
term urban life? I'm I don't know. See the type of writer I
26:04
am, I just write. And this is the thing that I that my
26:08
my editor tells me all the time. She said, you need to figure
26:11
out what type of genre you're writing before because my mind just goes and then
26:17
before I in the book, then we're like, okay, so what kind
26:19
of genre is this? Because I just write stories and I tell people that
26:26
I write stories, and they become what genre they're supposed to be. So
26:32
when I'm writing, I'm I'm like, I told you, I developed the
26:34
character, I built the scene, and I'm just writing. I don't have
26:37
nothing in specific, nothing in particular that I'm looking for. I don't know.
26:41
And now that now, I will take that back because now when I
26:45
did strong addition, I was definitely going for writing at that time. But
26:51
the rest of my books I just wrote and I'm like, Okay, this
26:53
sounds like good. This sounds like it's pretty good. I'm going to just
26:56
go with this, and I'm like, okay, so what genre is this?
26:57
Because I'm trying to just go through and figure out which one is close
27:03
to anything in that in that genre. So and I tell people all the
27:07
time, I said, I got plenty of genres. Don't put me in
27:08
a box because I have no idea what I'm gonna write. I don't know
27:11
what this being is gonna write. I mean, I have several other genres
27:15
on the way too. And that's why I said I'm growing down and I'm
27:18
in my new season and I'm really tapping into the romance right excuse me right
27:22
now. And I have a dark romance that's gonna come up to I have
27:26
that too as well. I'm already working on it. If you can write
27:32
a book with any author from a different genre, and you write yourself,
27:37
what would the genre be and what who would the author be. I have
27:44
reached out to two authors that I that are my favorites and I and I
27:48
want to do another one after I read his book first, because I want
27:53
to read his book. I've been I'm in the process of actually reading his
27:56
book and I'm like, I think I think I will do good collaboring with
27:59
him. But one of them is Yvette Wilson. Uh ta car Vett Wilson.
28:06
I want to Uh. I reached out to her and she does uh.
28:10
She does romance too, but I think she does. I think she
28:14
has an erotic book that she's working on as well. But she does everything,
28:18
and so I'm like, it don't matter what it is. I'm like,
28:21
I think I can work with her. My other person, he kind
28:26
of writes what I write for the most part. He's stepping into romance right
28:30
now. He just released the Romance book and that's author King Benjamin and I
28:37
mentioned him before on the on our last interview because he was my first person
28:41
I ever wrote or ever read as far as urban fiction, and so I
28:45
enjoyed writing his books. Now he has a lot of books, but I
28:48
think, like I said, he just captain the romance, so that would
28:52
be kind of cool to do. Uh. And my other one is one
28:56
of your favorites, which is Keith Kareem Williams. And I'm reading book that's
29:02
my literary baby daddy. I love his work. I always told him,
29:10
I said, you my literary baby daddy. He's like nobody saying, like,
29:15
how do you explain that? Tree, I said, because when you
29:17
write a book, it feels like you gave birth to the baby and I'm
29:21
the mama and I'm caring this baby around. So you know, baby,
29:26
but key, excuse me for a second. You need to come on on
29:30
my show and stop playing around now. Don't make me confind you. Okay,
29:40
So, well, lately, I know he's trying to not he's trying,
29:47
he's feeling and I'm so I've followed his career. Oh my god,
29:52
it's I think when we were reader's in motions, so that has to be.
29:59
My son is twenty one now, so that has to be over like
30:03
fifteen years that i'd been following his career. We all be friends, we
30:07
started a book club. Then everybody started to become authors, and I'm like,
30:11
I can't do that with y'all. And I was like, look,
30:15
I can't do it. So that's how that became. So my last question
30:22
for you, my dear, is where do you see your literary career going?
30:30
Sorry, where do you get? Hearing a noise and I'm like,
30:37
what the heck I thought I heard? I was like, if there's a
30:40
snake anywhere around here I'm running. All y'all can see is nothing. So
30:44
my question to you is where do you see your literary career going in twenty
30:51
Well, how do you see it? Let me let me rephrase this question
30:56
because it's not ending, but how do you see it? Concluding four,
31:03
we're at the halfway mark. We only got half of the year to go,
31:06
So where do you want that career to go for that remainder of the
31:10
year. Okay, well, in this halfway mark, I have three books
31:15
I've released already so and I have I think three more. They're already read,
31:22
they're already written, they're ready to go. I'm just waiting to get
31:26
to release date. So as of right now, I'm getting towards. I'm
31:33
going towards. Like I told you earlier, I'm going to be releasing a
31:37
book a month starting next year. So I'm in the process. I've already
31:41
I'm thinking. I got the last book that I'm gonna be releasing this year.
31:45
I'm still working on. It's almost done, and then after that it's
31:49
just gonna be a book, a book a month. I'm challenging myself,
31:52
or I have been challenging myself because I love writing. I mean, my
31:57
my pen name is Tasha, right, And it's not that for you know,
32:01
on purpose. It's because I write, and that's all I do.
32:05
I enjoy writing. It's one of my uh things that I do. And
32:09
I want to relax. I just want to, you know, have peace.
32:13
I write and that's all I've been doing. And as we approach the
32:17
end of this year, I will have a total six books done this year
32:21
and these and I think I put a post up today and I told my
32:24
readers, I said, listen, please bear with me as I go through
32:30
my new season. I'm laying down my foundation is what I'm doing, and
32:35
so I can get into the things that I am comfortable with writing as of
32:40
now. Like I said, I've developed characters. I've been I've been good
32:45
with that and I enjoy doing that. And the stories that I have come
32:50
in, Oh my god. I I'm a thinker, so I think outside
32:55
all the time. So with favors, That's how I favor got developed because
33:00
I'm thinking outside the box all the time. What is out here that nobody
33:05
has, or what is out here that nobody's talked about, or what is
33:07
out here that you know, or I just pop up on something. I'm
33:10
like, Okay, this is a good book. I'm about to write about
33:14
this particular topic. So I'm constantly doing that. Now. I have a
33:20
laptop full of books that I'm still working on. These books that are being
33:23
released are part of that catalog, and these were done like two years ago,
33:29
and I'm just now getting them completed so I can push them out.
33:32
So I can bring some other things that I've been thinking about and ideas that
33:37
I've had about certain books. But not to say that these books have not
33:40
been ideas, because papers I haven't seen in the industry at all as far
33:46
as anybody writing a book about that. So some of these ideas that I
33:52
have are just new to everyone else, and what they say new to you
33:54
old to me. Like I've I wrote Favors two years ago and it's just
33:59
now out in January. So you didn't know, you did not because it
34:05
reads like the little bit of parts I have been reading that I was able
34:07
to read. It didn't read like you did this two years ago. Oh
34:13
that's a long story in itself, if you asked my editor. We sat
34:15
there and basically this is what happened with Fakirs Fafirs was a promo book.
34:21
I wasn't even going to release this book. It was just a little promo
34:24
book I did and I was going to release to my reading group or whatever
34:28
or whoever, you know, just to let them see what I that I
34:30
could write. And so, but it was jack up. And what I
34:37
say jack up, I'm talking about I probably just did. It was like
34:39
a rough draft. Man. My editor got that book, she looked at
34:44
it. She said, oh girl, this book needs some work. But
34:47
I was like, I'm so sorry. After I didn't realize it because,
34:51
like I said, I wrote it two years ago and my pan was just
34:53
like I was just writing. I wasn't. It wasn't anything that I was
34:58
like, you know, okay, I'm gonna just go ahead and make sure
35:00
this is perfected the right way. No, I was just writing. I
35:02
literally just it looked like I was shotting notes in this in this particular book
35:07
when I first did it. So when I sent it to her, she
35:09
was like, and I was like, I had to apologize to my edit.
35:14
I said, oh, I'm so sorry. I did not know it
35:15
was that jacked up. Now what happened in the finished product that you see
35:21
is when I went back. So you had college now, but it was
35:25
not like that two years ago, so you I had some work. You're
35:32
talking about this editor. Can you shout out this editor? It seems like
35:37
she's she's doing the thing with you. Do you want to give her a
35:40
shout out? Oh? I sure will I give her. I gave her.
35:44
Listen, she's in the book. I gave her a shout out in
35:47
this book. I think she's probably three of my books. Oh my god,
35:54
that I can tell you. Definitely. Tail Journe again is my editor.
36:00
Love her to death. And I say that, and that's no exaggeration.
36:04
I ain't doing this for y'all. She has been there step by step
36:08
from my first book to now and I have learned so much from her.
36:15
And this is and tell I know you watch it. So this is your
36:17
flowers. Gone accept them. That's what we're doing. So, yes,
36:24
she is great. Like she is a coach, she's an editor, she's
36:30
a friend. She is always there when I want to talk about my book.
36:35
All I gotta do is hey, what you're doing? What you think
36:38
about this? She like, all, girl, Yes, that's my that's
36:42
my friend. That is that's my friend. She like I said, we
36:45
talk all the time about all my books, all the character She's helped me
36:50
a lot. But shout out to Tam Journ again, who is my editor?
36:54
Love her to death. Hi Tam Journ again. You keep pushing,
37:00

37:13

37:22
people are on that one too. That's my backup page, but I'm on
37:24

37:29
on there too. So that's Facebook. Instagram, I am Tasha Underscore Rights
37:35

37:40

37:45
Rights and TikTok I am author Tasha Rights on there, and I'm a thread
37:52
too. I think it's Tasha Underscore Rights on there as well. And you
37:57
too, I'm author your Rights on the earth. All right, now,
38:01
well you guys, y'all got the rundown. I'm telling you, this is
38:06
one of those authors, one of those you need to watch authors. Okay,
38:09
and you heard it here first, okay, people, So I personally
38:15
would like to thank you for joining me tonight favors y'all. The book is
38:21
unique. I've never seen anything like this in the book. Look at that
38:25
oh dude in the background, and oh and it's all audio. So the
38:32
book is also audible on audio. It's on Amazon, it's on iTunes,
38:37
and it's all audible. I just recently did that before the interview, so
38:43
like about I think I think it was just done two or three weeks ago.
38:46
I got approved. So yes, it is also all audio. So
38:51
you have audio book as well. You can listen now seek food. That's
38:55
me at work now, me and audiobow, we didn't have a good relationship
39:00
because I always forget to use my credits. So I've been using like hoopla
39:06
and h then my library has one. It's called overdrive, and oh my
39:12
god, I find books in them. I'm like lo pepe like a book
39:15
that has gunshots in the background, play and other stuff making noise in the
39:22
background, like you are you serious? But thank you because people, a
39:28
lot of people do not think about the audiobook world, and I really wish
39:31
that African American authors would look into that world and see how much growth there
39:38
could be in the capabiles of that. I mean, you have the normals,
39:45
you have the same the aerctroom, Dickie. But a lot of the
39:49
newer authors they're not looking into audio books, and I think that is like
39:53
almost the way to go. Especially I work at a library, so I
39:57
really don't have the time to set up and actually old the book. But
40:00
I'll walk around with a piece in my ears all day listening to a book
40:05
and standing at the pavement like could you please Okay lady, what did you
40:09
just say this? Now? So thank you for even looking into that.
40:15
Ram. So, y'all, we got Kindle, we got audiobo iTunes.
40:21
Can they purchase the book directly from you? Do you have a website?
40:24
I do. My website is www dot Tasha Wrights dot com and the books
40:31
are there there you go, you guys, Tasha Wright in Favus. That's
40:37
all I can say. That's all I will say, because I know I'm
40:43
gonna be going back and reading this book like the String that Strange Addiction strong
40:49
edition. You so wrong for that me. You won't talk about that leader.
40:53
We might have to do a zoom meeting about that book. And see,
40:57
oh well, well, just just to let you know, there will
41:00
be a spin off next year that I will be releasing. So one of
41:02
them couples is getting a book. Mm hmm, who can you please tell
41:07

41:12
year. I will be writing a spinoff to strang Addiction next year, so
41:15
yes, and oh my goodness, I can't now that. I can't wait
41:20
to write now then though, I said that my favorite was romance and I
41:23
love writing a rotic. Now, don't tell me, don't pay. They've
41:28
