Schemin' Confessions of a Gold Digger
(2004)
Jalita Harrison is a nineteen-year-old biracial woman who was born in to a
dysfunctional environment, but aspired to overcome it. After raising herself
on the streets of Baltimore, she decides she wants no part of a destructive
lifestyle and is accepted in to a college in Virginia. During Christmas break,
she is left temporarily homeless and nearly penniless. As a result, Jalita
returns to Baltimore, where people from her past double-cross her.
Frustrated and desperate, Jalita decides to start
running game in the nearby suburbs, using her good looks, wit, and
street smarts to survive. Schemin’ becomes an addictive habit that leads
her to abandon her college plans and self-imposed morality. When she and
a handsome but engaged NBA basketball star agree to hook up on the down
low, Jalita becomes a part of a dangerous love triangle. Before it’s all
said and done, the script is flipped on each party involved and everyone
is left to live with consequences of behaving badly.

Short Changed (2005)
Presently available from
author's website
(tell Andrea you heard about her through DREAMWalker Group!).
Suppose you were raised in poverty and always
wanted to live the glamorous life—exotic cars, plenty of women,
expensive ice, and a large home. You carved out your niche, then all
at once, your dream life was snatched from under your feet and you
were demoted back to hood status. How ruthless could you be if it
meant getting your shine back?
What if fate hadn’t been kind and you figured out that
most people liked you for your brick house body, not your brain? If
you found yourself in a hell of a situation—would you break a promise
to yourself and stop gold digging, and end up living with kinky
swingers who were willing to pay you well to help them spice up their
rocky marriage, or would you walk away from the offer?
Suppose, in childhood, your drug-addicted mother did
the unthinkable after your father left the household. In adulthood,
you suppressed a hurtful secret that caused you to hide behind your
stacked paper and success in the NBA. Would it be your fault that you
couldn’t step up to the plate and be a real father?
Short Changed is a true-to-life story of three
siblings who are in crisis. It will help any person from any walk of
life see the importance of facing the truth, healing past hurts, and
walking away form abusive relationships.
