About me
- Carleen Brice
- ORANGE MINT AND HONEY (One World/Ballantine, February 2008) was a Target Breakout Book and a selection of the Essence Magazine Book Club, Go On! Girl Book Club, APOOO Book Club, and Black Expressions Book Club. It was optioned by the Lifetime Movie Network (LMN). One World/Ballantine released my 2nd novel CHILDREN OF THE WATERS in June 2009. On the Pajama Gardener I sing me, me, me, me, me, me, me. White Readers Meet Black Authors is where I hit a few more notes.
Winner of the Black Caucus of the American Library Association First Novelist Award
Soon to be on the Lifetime Movie Network as "Sins of the Mother" starring Jill Scott and Nicole Beharie!

Spa day
Took a trip with family and friends up to Idaho Springs the morning after the launch party.
Before
Letting the grass die after we placed the boulders.
After
Blue flax, fire witch dianthus and California poppies-all drought-tolerant.
We also added drought-tolerant trees and shrubs.
Irises are good low-water plants too.

This did me in. Ever since this story broke and it was all over the news and the internet, I felt like I wasn't ready to think about it or deal with it. He was to our generation what Elvis was to our parents'. There has never been anybody like him and there never will be again. It breaks my heart to think about how it ended.
