When it comes to writing I seem to always get in touch with my dark side. I enjoy writing stories about the heartache and thrills of romance. I'm not always emo, though. Half the time my writing is goofy as hell with sarcasm to match. But I mostly enjoy writing about the real, grimy, hard stuff we women go through and how it makes us stronger. A perfect day for me is a gloomy gray afternoon with rain. I'm obsessed with beauty products and there's just something about pineapples that I love dearly. Being raised a military brat makes me super friendly so I love meeting new people and chatting about books. The Marley Diaries is my first published novella. And is the first of a four-series collection. Follow me on Instagram @VasalonaCooper to hear updates on my upcoming books, including The Gia Diaries.
