A few minutes for Barack
I’m only 28, but the involvement that I’ve seen in the communities around me in this presidential election has been unbelievable. When I was in undergrad, a few moons ago, we had to beg people to come out to vote. I remember that November it was cold and frustrating. I walked around knocking on doors in late October and for the election night, I had the flu. This year, I’ve not walked door-to-door, but I have given financially and participated in a few rallies. I’ve made phone calls and prayed that my candidate wins.
However, the news is reporting breaking numbers of people who are coming out to vote. This year, change has occurred regardless of what anyone says. People care. They have issues that they want addressed. Now, I won’t get into what those issues are, because I’ve given myself a time limit on this entry. However, I will say that in four years, I pray to God that we have the same passion that we have right now for the election process.
This has sparked a new thought for me. We are showing our children that possibilities are endless for them. If they truly believe in a issue, if they dare think that they can change a problem and provide a solution, they only need to put that first foot forward and begin to walk in that direction. People will rally behind you, if you are determined and willing to stand and give a good fight.
I love Senator Obama and his lovely family for their courage and their determination. When I asked my beautiful son what he wanted to be when he grew up, he didn’t say Batman or Hulk like normal. He said, “I want to be President.” He wants to be President!
All across the US, there will be young men and women of all ethnic backgrounds and all religions who will start to dream beyond the glass ceiling. They will start to think more of themselves then what at first some would have them think. Young girls will want to be President of Anything and Everything, young men will consider themselves leaders.
This is a good change for all of us. We are inspiring them, much like our parents and grandparents inspired us. It’s a good feeling.
What do you feel America?

Dear Latrivia,
I am so excited to see that you have another book coming out around XMas!! I purchased your first novel, which you were so kind to autograph for me, and absolutely loved it. I let my best girlfriend borrow it and had to put her in a head-lock to get it back. I am looking forward with held breath & excitement for the newest addition.

I just read Dmitri’s Closet and the story was wonderful but the book was not proofed well at all. Sometimes it was so bad that it took me out of the story. My sister is an author and I proof her stories for her. Please contact me and let’s talk. Your stories are too good to go out in that condition. When I read in the book about Dorian helping with Ivan’s “coo”… That was just too much.

Hi Latrivia,
I had to let you know how I enjoy you work. “Dmitri’s Closet” is the first of the novels I’ve read of yours. It is so unlike anything I’ve read in its genre. It is so for the best romance novel I’ve read in any genre be it I/R or mainstream.
I also read the follow up book to ” Dmitri’s Closet” “Royal Flush” and I Loved it. I purchased it from your wed site as a ebook and plan on buying a hard copy as well.
Right now I’m reading “Ivy’s Twisted Vine” All I can say is drama,excitement great read.
Keep up the excellent writing and I’m looking forward to your future works.
Thank you,
