Jordan Moore’s relationship with her boyfriend is experiencing turbulent times. His behavior is similar to when he was cheating on her once before. Knowing she can’t take the heartache anymore, she decides it is best to end things. However, now is not a good time for her to be lonely, especially while she battles her ex-husband for custody of their son. To compensate for her inner turmoil, she has numerous affairs with multiple men. She looks at it as just having fun and being liberated.

When her friends start to question her new behavior, Jordan has to step back and evaluate what she’s really doing to herself. She also meets a wonderful man who seems to be all she wants and needs. Will he be enough to calm her down and will she be satisfied with one relationship? Will she find the love she seeks when she faces her insecurities head-on?

PLAYTHANG follows Jordan as she travels on an emotional roller coaster ride. Readers may not agree with the decisions she makes, but they will see her growth as a result of them. The book is well-written with fully developed characters, although there was no clear continuity in the flow. If you like relationship drama, you’ll enjoy this novel.

Dear Summer,

I know you gon’ miss me
For we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees…

I can say and wanted to write it down- that this has been one of my best summers ever (at least as an adult that I can remember). I lost an uncle this summer, and that definitely made it one of the worst, but prior to that and even through that it was a season of reflection and self evaluation. I spent so much time just enjoying the days the good Lord has given me and I feel so empowered and thankful.
I went out more than usual, I traveled, I spent several days just enjoying my friends, family and loved ones. It was a memorable summer. I sit here on the day I go back to school, to begin the first day of my last year of law school and I feel better than ever. I’ve made new friends, reunited with old friends, and nurtured relationships with my current friends. Life is short, you have to enjoy it.
This will probably be my last summer like this, next summer I’ll be taking the bar and then off to the land of lawyer life. So due to working and hopefully having kids one day in the next few years, my summers will no longer be all mine. So I am so thankful I spent this so well. I partied like never before, making up to some degree for all the partying I never did in college and in my twenties thus far. I went to Disney again with my heart n joy- my sister, my mom and my niece and nephew. I went on a cruise to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Bermuda and Puerto Rico with my boyfriend (a.k.a air) and his family who I love. I even went to a museum this summer. Since law schoo started Ive been saying I wanted to enjoy these summers, because they in essence were my calm before the storm. FINALLY I have done just that. It took me three summers to get it, but I did. I owe most of that to my boyfriend, who (to put it simply) kind of forced me to step out of my norm.
All in all, Im thankful and Im happy. Thank you summer.

I’m done for now, so one for now
Possibly forever, we had fun together
But like all good things, we must come to an end
Please show the same love to my friends
Dear summer

Just to share, the name of the column- Wonder Women- derived from a private joke between me and the editor of King, Datwon Thomas. While in attendance at a King Magazine party last year, he spotted my burgundy knee length boots (I must admit these boots are a favorite of mine)… (Petit Peton in the village, you can’t go wrong)… but anyway, when he saw them he commented on how he appreciated the hotness of my footwear. and said how they looked like Wonder Woman boots. Since that day he has referred to me as Wonder Woman. Hence, the title of my advice column. When he suggested I title the column Wonder Woman, it took only seconds to agree that it was a fitting and fun name for it.
So watch out for Wonder Woman this fall.
My new book, Playthang will be in stores this fall, a release party to be announced. You can catch my blogs and articles for G Unit and Fresh 102.7. I will be touring the East coast with a few stops in the West. My advice column for King Magazine will be debuted. (Lastly I will be completing my last year of law school).
So look out… Thanks for all the support
Signing off,
Janine A. Morris a.k.a Wonder Woman

Its a beautiful thing.  Fatman Scoop and wife Shanda are starring in their own talk show on love, life and relationships.  This couple that has been married for 5 years has found an interesting way to make it work.  They came up with an idea, started it on line and now have their own MTV show, becoming a new black power couple.

The show is witty, funny, and educational… its just what our people need right now, an outlet to try to figure this crazy thing called love out.  It deals with sex, dating, cheating, experimenting, marriage, etc.  Its a show you dont want to miss.  You can catch it on MTV starting in September.

Check back soon for an up close and personal interview with the lovely couple…

In the meantime leave a comment and let me know what do you think the biggest issue with black love is.
