Profile Information

Why join the Black Moms Network?

I'm a mother and author of books for preteens and teens. I joined to meet other parents of color and to let them know about my books.

How did you find the black moms club?

How many children do you have?

My husband and I have 3 children--a girl, a boy, and a girl. All of them are still at home. I have 4 adult stepchildren. My youngest one and his wife have 2 baby boys. My youngest stepdaughter and her husband have a baby on the way.

About Me:

I can be reached at mlavoraperrry @ gamil .com

My other social networking sites and blogs (MySpace, FaceBook, LiveJournal, etc) are listed here.

I can now justify dying my hair black since it's no longer "prematurely gray" like it was back in the day. It's just gray gray. But dye it? Some things I just don't do.

What I do is write fiction and non-fiction books for preteens and teens. My first one, TANEESHA NEVER DISPARAGING (Wisdom Publications, Sept 2008), is part of a series of middle-grade and young adult novels about preteens
and teens who live in the same urban community. TANEESHA NEVER DISPARAGING
details the drama that an 11-year-old urban Buddhist girl goes through daily,
which includes being bullied by a teenage "ogre" girl.

Floyd Cooper illustrated the cover for TANEESHA NEVER DISPARAGING-- which is cool because he's won awards for his book illustrations.
