I enjoy lots of different books by tons of different authors but these two ladies are my favorites. I highly recommend the entire Curtis Black series starting with "Casting the First Stone" by Kimberla Lawson Roby for those who like drama and suprises. Mary Monroe has a trilogy starting with a book called "God Don't Like Ugly" that is excellent. These are African American authors and characters but there is something in them for everybody. If you are a fan of these two ladies, let's compare notes.
