Riana:
I wasn’t expecting to meet anyone
when I arrived at Shaw University. After my last stint at love, the only thing
I wanted to focus on is getting through my first semester of college without
any drama. That was my intentions, until I met Shawn Walker. At first I didn’t
like him. He was arrogant and cocky; someone that I could easily despised, if
he wasn’t so damn sexy. But one night changed my thoughts about him. I was able
to let down my guard and be myself. Now, I have a second chance at love. Will I
let myself love again, or will I continue to live in the past?
Shawn:
After my last girlfriend cheated on
me, love was not on my agenda. I tried to escape it at all costs, until I met
Riana Robertson. After thinking she was like every other girl, I easily avoided
being around her, but that night, when I saw what happened to her, I had to
help her. I had to protect her. That night changed the way I felt about her and
I realized I could fall hard for her. But will our relationship survive once
she finds out the truth about me. Or will I lose her forever…
Cheryl:
Falling in love is something I’d
never imagined. I didn’t think love existed, mainly because of the way I was
raised. Relationships were never in the cards, especially since I gave a chance
on one, and it nearly destroyed me.
When I met Marcus Walker, I was
only looking for a fling, nothing more; but the more time I spent with him, the
more I realized he could be so much more. Not only has he helped me through my
family drama but also with a situation I thought was way behind me. Now, I
understand what love is and how powerful it can be. But will I let myself be
loved, or will I continue to believe that love is not for me?
Marcus:
One thing I said I will never do in
my life is fall in love. Being in love is great for some people, but not for
me. That all changed when I met Cheryl Thompson.
At first, I thought she would be
like the rest, just a one-night stand, but when I saw what she was going
through, I realized she was much more than a fling; she was someone I wanted to
commit to. Will I be able to trust myself and give her what she needs, or will
I end up destroying her even more?
Sheena Binkley first discovered her
love for storytelling when writing her first story for a class project at the
tender age of nine. Since then, she has composed several short stories and
numerous tales that are not only engaging, but simply entertaining. She is also
a freelance writer, penning articles on various topics including education and
entertainment. Besides writing, she loves reading, shopping, and spending time
with family and friends. She lives in Houston (where the weather is always
unpredictable) with her husband and son.
1. In
five words, describe you as a writer?
Entertaining, exciting,
unpredictable, quirky, romantic, and drama
2. What is your inspiration for
writing?
I have a vivid imagination, so I
think that’s the inspiration I need to come up with storylines, characters,
etc. But I also think it’s my love for writing and being a reader that
makes me want to create stories that are interesting and engaging.
3. What are some things that you
have to have while writing?
My laptop or iPad (when I don’t
feel like turning on my computer), food, and music. Music is the most important
element, because that is how I set-up scenes for my stories. Most of the scenes
in my stories are based off of songs that I was listening to while writing.
That is also why I have playlists for all of my books.
4. Where do you see yourself in 5
years with your writing career?
Even though I love the fact that
I’m an indie author, I would love to be with a publishing company. Also, I
would love to see one of my books on either The New York Times or USA Today
best-sellers list.
5. Name five things that are on
your bucket list?
1. To be a New York Times best-seller
2. Go to Disney World (which I plan
on doing with my family next year)
3. Go to New York
4. Visit Vegas
5. Try zip-lining (which would be
an accomplishment since I’m terrified of heights)
