I saw this poster on another site, and a reader commented that she would love to see a full figured heroine in someone’s book. Your wish has already been granted! Two of my books already feature full-figured heroines .

When he invites her on stage to sing a duet with him a duet that he ends with a bold kiss desire courses through Sameerah’s blood…
A REAL LOVE SETS SAIL…Docked in Puerto Rico, Sameerah and Tony spend a magical afternoon together.

I’m smiling. It’s great to read about real sized women as heroines in a novel. I’m following your blog too, so I’m looking forward to read more from you.
I like the poster, very inspirational. I have gotten that “compliment” so many times. “Wow, you have such a pretty face, if only you would lose the weight, you would be so beautiful!” I am a 28 year old woman, and i’ve been dealing with self esteem issues all my life. I even stopped talking to my dad a few months ago because i couldnt take him putting me down about my weight anymore. He even told me that since my personality is like my moms, that i will never get married.
Its just now that i’m starting to realize that i need to shut off other peoples opinions and LOVE myself exactly as i am. That until i do that, i will never be happy.
I think its great that you add women that arent a size 0-4 in your books. I know there are women that are naturally thin, but there are women that torture themselves to be that size and achieve the “perfect body”. Thats just not possible for everyone. I think its important that women start worrying more about their health, rather than what number their jeans have on the label.
