3 things about Obsession you may not know
1. She’s slightly OCD
2. She loves rabbits
3. She loves to cook
UBAWA: What's your favorite color? and why?
Obsession: My favorite color is yellow; it has been since I was a little girl. I have no idea why it became my favorite color. Maybe it came from my love for Big Bird on Sesame Street.
UBAWA: What's the last country you visited? Tell us about your visit.
Obsession: Haven't left the United States yet, but I plan on visiting Cyprus in the near future.
UBAWA: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
Obsession: Tuscan, Arizona
UBAWA: If you had to choose between owning a nice car or a nice house, which one would you choose?
Obsession: A nice house
UBAWA: If you could create your dream job/career, what would it be?
Obsession: I'd be a full time bestselling author
UBAWA: Most people say success is a matter of luck; what do you think?
Obsession: That's true for some, but not for most.
UBAWA: Tell us a little about how you became an author.
Obsession: I started writing poetry at the age of seven. One of my closest friends challenged me to write a novel in 2010; I did, and now it's my thing.
UBAWA: Many self-published authors face some sort of challenge when publishing their first book. What was your biggest challenge?
Obsession: Finding legit editors and publishers.
UBAWA: If you had to choose one category, where would writing fall for you: a hobby, a passion, a career, or a gift? Explain
Obsession: A gift. I was born to write, no question about it.
UBAWA: Some things are not for everybody. Do you think writing could apply to this statement?
Obsession: Anybody can write, but not everyone can tell a good story.
UBAWA: Do you use an outline before you write or do you just write?
Obsession: I just write
UBAWA: Many authors prefer complete silence when they're in the writing lab, how do you like to set your atmosphere?
Obsession: I can't write in complete silence; I can only write when I'm in the midst of chaos. I have to be in a noisy environment or I have to be emotionally disoriented.
UBAWA: What makes your writing style different and unique?
Obsession: My writing can't be labeled or shoved into a category. It's real, raw, funny, thought provoking, entertaining all at once.
UBAWA: Do you think it's helpful to invest money into taking writing classes and workshops or are you a self-taught writer?
Obsession: It can be helpful. I attended a writing school called, Young Chicago Authors from the age of 15-17 & it exposed me to different writing styles and different genres of writing.
UBAWA: Before you begin to write, is there some special ritual you adhere to or do you just write?
Obsession: Not at all
UBAWA: Have you ever looked at something you wrote and asked yourself, "Did I write that?!" Please do tell. : )
Obsession: Yes I have with my poetry. I've looked at several pieces and thought, "Damn, I'm dope!"
UBAWA: What's your opinion on the state of Urban Fiction? Is it an accurate depiction of real life or a bad influence on the people who read it?
Obsession: Urban fiction in my opinion is in bad shape. Authors are publishing books without any type of editing, story/character development, etc. Too many authors look at the literary game as a come up and not a passion. It seems like the same story is being written by a different author. A girl falls for a big drug dealer, then she sells her body to get what she wants because she was molested as a child, etc etc. Originality seems to be scarce.
UBAWA: Nowadays, it seems that every time you turn around, someone else has a new book out. Do you think the industry should be more stringent as to who can write and publish a book or is it fine the way it is?
Obsession: I'm not even going to touch this one lol
UBAWA: If you could give advice to an aspiring author, what would it be?
Obsession: Copyright your work before you publish it. There are a lot of grimy folks out here ready to snatch up someone's dream.
UBAWA: Before you leave, tell us one thing that you would like to be remembered by.
Obsession: I would like to be remembered as a good person and an awesome writer!

About her book, “Climatic Successions”
Brooklyn Monroe is a feisty school teacher with video vixen looks and a tongue that will cut you into pieces. Coming from an abusive background, she developed a take charge, blunt attitude that has gotten whatever and whomever she wants, that’s until she meets Ethan Palmer.
Ethan is a gorgeous ex drug dealer slash boxer, turned firefighter, with a mean sex game and a temper that’s off the chain. He unmistakably has the backbone to keep over the top Brooklyn in check, but will the love of these two hotheads go up in flames or will it make for a steamy romance?
Thailand Moore is a player and pure EYE CANDY! He's a gorgeous massage therapist that earned the nickname "Orgasmic" by his many female clients. He was made into the womanizer he is today by his crackhead mother to support her addiction. But once Thailand met the green eyed beauty Adriana Jackson, he knew that he wanted to lay his player ways to rest. Will the horrid sexual acts he was forced to perform as a child prevent him for ever having a normal relationship with a woman or will he be able to put those demons to rest and experience true love with Adriana?
Adriana Jackson is a well-known painter that has painted her way through every trial and tribulation that has fell upon her. Orphaned at birth, commitments are very hard to take seriously, until she meets a sexy massage therapist named Thailand Moore. She quickly learns that he’s a player but chooses not to judge, after all, never knowing true love lead her to love her vagina and not her heart.
Aaron is strong-willed and clean cut. Raised as an army brat, he knew that choosing a profession that didn't require him to beat on his chest and flex some muscle would not sit well with his father. His mission has always been to prove to his judgmental father that sleeping around and intimidating people does not make a man a man. Will he lose sight of who he is or will all of his hard work one day pay off and give him the emotional freedom he craves?
Derricka is a photographer who stumbles upon this art through tragedy. She is spiritual and has made it her life goal to be the complete opposite of her parents. Her childhood is plagued grotesque memories of her father making her the woman of the house in every way when her mother abandoned her and her sisters. She finds solace in shooting photos and in wine bottles. Will she ever be able heal and learn how to forgive and forget? Or will she drown in her sorrows and become nothing but a faded picture in everyone’s memory?
Satisfyingly explicit, this bon-a-fide narrative is plagued with humor, sex, romance, violence, devastating family secrets and more. Inspirational in its own right, this urban tale will invite readers into the lives of six individuals, who learn from one another that with love, faith, and forgiveness...peace found within will outweigh all the pain that was ever endured.
