In addition to Forbidden Fruits the series, Cheryl Cloyd Robbins is the author of two adult fiction books, Deliver Us from Evil and Forgive Us Our Trespasses. A unique hallmark of Cheryl’s writing is the use of the novella, rather than the novel format. Cheryl understands that her reader’s lead busy lives and many don’t have the time to dedicate to long novels. To ensure that busy professionals of today aren’t cheated out of a quality reading experience she developed her One Night Stand series of novellas, which includes both of her current titles. In August 2014, Cheryl and her business partner, Norma Warren formed Reign Incorporated. Forbidden Fruits is the first production released by Reign in January 2015. Additionally their first publication is a children’s book entitled Imani Hates the School Bus which was released December 2014. Imani is the first of the “You Can Be Your Own Hero” series designed to help kids find their voice. All of Cheryl’s books can be found at her website, www.cherylcloydrobbins.com or www.reignincorporated.com.

Married at sixteen, a mother twice by seventeen, and thrice a mother and divorced by twenty-four, Adrienne Thompson is no stranger to adversity. Not your typical teenage mother, she went on to complete her college degree and to earn her nursing license. She attributes God's faithfulness as the catalyst for her success in life. Now, having raised three children as a divorced mother, she is sharing a long hidden talent and passion with the world. Using the lessons that life has so expertly taught her as a guideline (betrayal, abusive relationships, self-esteem issues, witnessing the deteriorating effects of drug abuse), she has created stories that will both entertain and inspire the reader. Adrienne currently resides in Arkansas in her newly empty nest. Formerly an RN, she now writes and publishes her stories full time. She is also a motivational speaker.

I have an active imagination and love to tell stories. I write suspense and new adult fiction along with spoken-word poetry and playwriting. I have a weakness for French and Italian cuisine and cookies, and enjoy singing, watching HGTV & baking shows, and spending time with my crazy Pomeranian, Mocca. I am a contributing author in the Brown Girls Books national award-winning, bestselling anthologies The Ex Chronicles and All I Want For Christmas. I am a native New England girl who now lives in North Carolina. My debut novel, The Truth You Told, is a work in progress that I look forward to finishing and sharing with readers!

Michelle Mitchell has always been creative; the builder of play forts, and the writer of numerous songs that she hoped to hear on the radio. She always enjoyed singing, dancing, reading and writing. One of her dreams was to be a backup dancer for Janet Jackson, but when that didn’t happen, she continued to focus on songwriting. She knew she could shine brightest if she could work in a field where she could create, but she had an awkward start in finding her voice. A Georgia native, Michelle attended Georgia Southern University where she majored in Communication Arts and minored in Journalism. After graduating, she had a short stint as a feature writing before returning to school and entering corporate America. Needing a creative outlet in between courses, Michelle got inspired and began working on her first novel, Truth Is.... In December 2015, Brown Girls Books put out a call for submissions for an anthology called, The Ex Chronicles. Michelle's submission was selected out of the 300 submissions received. The anthology was published March 8, and would be her first published work. Truth Is... will be her second published manuscript. When she’s not writing, she enjoys trying new restaurants, traveling, and reading. Michelle is a die-hard fanatic of the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Hawks. She still resides in Georgia, where she is a member of Pilgrim Baptist Church in Marietta. You can write her at authormichellemitchell@gmail.com.
