About Me
- Name: Christal Jordan-Mims
- Location: Atlanta, Georgia, United States
I am the definitive Libra. For some reason God saw fit to bless me with the most wonderful man in the world for a husband and two beautiful children. My mother and younger brother take turns filling in as my best friend. I think creativity is my biggest strength and my sensitivity is my greatest weakness. I started this blog to get the word out about my upcoming novel UNDER THE CHERRY MOON, which debuts January 2006. I can relate to Oprah when she called "Beloved" her baby, because this project is almost as near to my heart as my children. I wrote the story about a young lady who grows up struggling with the early rejection from her father as a way to find closure to my estranged father's unexpected death in 2003. Writing was my therapy and at the time I had no intention of trying to publish the story. My husband encouraged me to submit the manuscript and eight months later, Genesis/Kensington offered me a contract on the manuscript. I hope that it helps fathers understand how important they are in shaping their children's lives...and I hope it helps other fatherless daughters, deal with the emptiness left when you are a Daddy's girl with no Daddy. www.getcaramelized.com
