My need to be accepted was reaping havoc on my self-worth. My fear of rejection caused me to attract toxic relationships. I often overcompensated to please the people in my life, even my children. Although I was talented and creative, I would take the back seat to my dreams while supporting everyone else's. It wasn't until I came face to face with death, that I realized that I was merely existing. Enough was enough! I vowed to God, if he offered me a second chance, I would in return "Woman Up" and start living my life unapologetically. God granted my request, and my life began to change. Little did I know that permitting myself to live authentically would give me the confidence to pursue my dreams. I pissed off a few people who were used to me being the "yes" woman and for the first time in my life, I could have cared less. I did, however, have to confront and resolve some issues in my past., At times the process was painful, but it is paying off, and as a result, I am living my life unapologetically." Woman Up" is designed to empower women who have developed the disease to please, to identify and address the unresolved issues that contribute their need to be accepted so that they too can live unapologetically authentic lives.

Reporter Robin Hudson gets the scoop on a DOA OB/GYN in this “hilarious, keenly written romp” from the author of What’s a Girl Gotta Do? (Entertainment Weekly). A nice girl like Robin Hudson never expected to find herself at an S&M club, but as a third-string reporter for a tabloid TV news show, she must pursue all the sleazy leads her jerk boss hurls her way with a smile on her face—at least on camera. But this time the story hits close to home. Robin’s always thought a person has to be a little sadistic to become a gynecologist, but when her new OB/GYN is shot through the heart and handcuffed to his office chair, a matchbook from an S&M establishment is the only clue. Much to the delight of Robin’s muckraking boss, the not-so-good doctor had his hands in all sorts of sordid activities. But Robin, on the other hand, is having a hard time whipping up any enthusiasm to interview the dominatrix who runs the club. It’s also the worst time for her Bible-toting Aunt Mo to visit New York City—aka Sodom and Gomorrah—to set Robin on the straight and narrow. Aunt Mo is convinced the streets aren’t safe—and maybe she’s right. A sniper is taking potshots at anxious All News Network anchormen, and it’s starting to look like the target practice is connected to the dead doc. Now, it’s up to Robin to dodge the bullets—not to mention Aunt Mo—and get the killer in her sights. And then she needs to find a new gynecologist! Nice Girls Finish Last is “a rollicking blend of deftly aimed satire and neatly plotted murder mystery” from award-winning author and former CNN journalist Sparkle Hayter, winner of the Sherlock Award for Best Comic Detective as well as an Arthur Ellis Award for best first mystery novel (The Philadelphia Inquirer). The Robin Hudson Mystery series is a winner of the Sherlock Award for Best Comic Detective. Nice Girls Finish Last is the 2nd book in the Robin Hudson Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
