BOOK DRAMA ~ AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT ~ SHATIKA TURNER



 When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

I first realized that I wanted to be a writer when the Devil tried to bring the thoughts of suicide into my life. Writing saved me. 
How long does it take you to write a book?
It all depends on how the story flows. It could take as little as 5 months to as much as a year. 
 What is your work schedule like when you're writing?
That also depends on how well the story is coming to me. Some days I do no writing, other days I do great amounts. 
What is your latest release and what's next?
My last release as A Fem's Playground 2: Game Over. My next book The Power Of The V will release under Diamante Publications December 18th




 HERE'S AN EXCERPT OF "A FEM'S PLAYGROUND"


Patience

Here I was three years later and doing my thing. Shade decided that she wouldn’t press charges because, in her words, that’d be too easy. After she got released from the hospital, she made sure to text me and let me know that her plans at revenge were going to be sweet. I laughed at every text, she was not that stupid, she knew I had ears everywhere and pull with everyone. I could pretty much get myself out of any situation. However I was grateful that no police were called and Shade or her ugly bitch didn’t hurt me. I hadn’t seen Shade since it happened, but my BFF sees her all the time and every time she tells me how I did a number on her. As much as I wanted to kill her for hurting me I am so glad that I didn’t.
     After I caught Shade cheating, it changed my perspective of love and relationships. In my mind, it no longer existed. For months after that, I questioned what the meaning of love was. I thought I had looked it in the face for two years, slept next to it. I was dead wrong. She never loved me and I wouldn’t allow myself to believe otherwise.
I sold the house that we lived in and moved into a house in a cul-de-sac in a nice part of East Moriches, NY. There were never any financial worries after Shade left because the firm I worked for was doing well. I had my back all day, every day. I drove a nice crème colored Mercedes Benz and could partake in any luxury I desired. Even with that said I learned not to spend money like water. I was a wealthy 28 year old woman that budgeted, saved and put away.
   The life that I lived allowed me to have my pick of women. I didn’t flash money to make them come to me, I just simply spoke. There was no need to flaunt my money in women’s faces because I wasn’t planning on pursuing anything with them. Dine ‘em, do ‘em, ditch ‘em and dismiss ‘em was my motto. I let them know upfront that there was no love, relationship or titles involved after we had sex. If they couldn’t get down with that, they could not get down with me.
