Preorder Miss Pearly’s Girls Now!
Raising four very different daughters on her own in rural Arkansas wasn’t easy for Miss Pearly Bell. And she’s always regretted that the sisters went their separate ways for good—and never wanted to see each other again. But when Pearly is stricken with a terminal illness, she summons them all home—determined to somehow help them get right with each other and forgive. . . But that means dealing with past secrets and lies first.
As the oldest sister, pastor’s wife Maxine took her responsibility way too seriously—and never fails to judge everyone else. But a secret she can no longer keep will explode everything she stands for. Youngest sister Leslie is all about making a very different life with her new love—but she didn’t expect a shattering past truth to be suddenly revealed and uproot everything she ever thought she knew. Elegant PR professional Stella and her earthy twin, Star, don’t see eye-to-eye on anything—and now a long-ago deception could wipe out their last chance at a relationship.
Soon each sister must confront the illusions they’ve taken refuge in for so long and deal with each other woman-to-woman. But can building an all-too-fragile trust repair the damage done—and help them come together when they are needed most?
Available now….The Book in Room 316
Savannah Graham thought she had the perfect marriage…until grief drove her husband into the arms of his best friend’s wife. Now, she believes revenge is the only way her heart can heal from the betrayal.
For fifty-two years, Ollie Moss lived side by side with the love of his life, his wife Elizabeth. But now that she’s gone, so is his desire to live, despite the love from his children, and his beloved grandson Samuel. Can anything save Ollie’s life?
Anna Rodriguez just wants to work and provide for her three children by any means necessary. But her decision to break the law in order to get a job is threatening life as she knows it.
Trey Brown is known in his neighborhood as a hustler, so much so that the gangs want him to join their ranks…but there’s a reason the nineteen-year-old does what he does—he’s the only one left who can save his little brother.
Different circumstances lead each of them to The Markham Hotel, where they hope to find solace, comfort, and answers. Told from multiple perspectives, The Book in Room 316 will renew your strength and faith that there is always a way forward.
Felise is not the kind of woman to cheat on her husband—especially with her best friend’s man. But after one perfect storm of a night, it happened…and she can hardly believe it herself. To top it off, when she woke up in the morning, she found that the man to whom she guiltily made passionate love died of a heart attack overnight. Felise, who is a nurse and a good citizen at that, leaves the hotel room without reporting his death.
When her best friend, Paula, finds out about her husband’s sudden death a day later, Felise is overcome with guilt and grief. She must be there for her friend and her family, but when her husband repeatedly tries to apologize for his absentminded behavior and Paula starts investigating who Stephen was with the night he died, Felise finds it hard to hold herself together. Should she come clean and tell everyone what she did? Or should she just let it go and move past the mistake on her own?
When the office lotto pool lands the winning ticket for four friends, each will embark on journeys that change their lives forever.

Now, that he’s a rich newlywed, the former playboy is dreaming of what life would’ve been like as a rich bachelor. When the money drives a wedge between them, Sheray leaves and Terrance learns the hard way to be careful what you wish for.
Angelique has been overweight since she was young. Despite her insecurities, her boyfriend, Marcus, gives her his love and affection without reservation. When she uses some of her winnings to get weight loss surgery, her new body and new attitude gets her some new attention, and could cost her the man she loves.
After twelve years of marriage, Janine’s husband announces that he’s leaving her for another woman. When she realizes he could possibly get a portion of her prize, she devises a scheme to keep it from him. But when her plan backfires, will she lose it all?
Raquelle’s life has just been turned upside down when she’s caught embezzling money, which she started doing to support her sick son. With a boss bent on making her pay, Raquelle is facing hard time and about to discover there are some things her lotto winnings can’t buy…or can it?
With a bitter former coworker lurking in the background, these friends are discovering their big payday will definitely change their lives…just not in the ways they expected.

Dear RoShonda…im looking for the DVD, based on your book: Let the Church say Amen, directed by Regina King. How/where can it be found? You would make more money if it were released. Great story, by the way!!! Loved it.
Ooops! Roshonda…i dont have Facebook. please respond back to my email (grb3256@gmail.com) on when/where to buy YOUR DVD, Let the Church Say Amen, movie directed by Regina King. Thanks again! Renee
OMG!!! I pre-ordered you new book and got it on Tuesday. I just finished it. I could not put it down. Thanks for a good book.
Hello Reshonda! Which of your books you having a setting of B’s Wine Bar in it?
Some ladies visited the bar on yesterday after reading your book!! Thank you!!
Hi Reshonda! I’ve always loved your writings. I just finished What’s Done in The Dark. Yes I know I’m behind, but I’ve been busy. Wonderful! The end shocked me! Can we get a sequel on this one? Thanks for sharing your craft!
Hi Reshonda! I’m so thrilled with your writing and often wonder if your stories aren’t true. You’re blessed with a great talent. I have just read Mama’s boy recently which was a page turner along with your other books. Sometimes, I wish these stories can come to live on TV screen. Thanks for your inspiring stories. You have put a desire in my heart for reading. I’m in love with your handiwork.
The subsequent time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I do know it was my option to read, but I really thought youd have something attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you possibly can fix if you werent too busy on the lookout for attention.
Hello, I just finished ‘The book in room 316’ It was one of the best books I have ever read. I finished it in 2 days. Keep up the good work

Hi ReShonda,
Please add me to your mailing list. I’m a member of the Brownstone Book Club and I always love when you’re a guest at meeting discussing one of your books!!
Thanks, Deidra
I have been listening to your books during my work day. Please add more books for Audible. I love your books! Your books allow me to escape and focus at the same time. I love your writings. Thank you Roshonda!!! Please add me to your mailing list.
I’m sorry I misspelled your name. Please forgive me.
I am a member of a small bookclub, only five of us currently. We take turns selecting books and get together over dinner or brunch at a local restaurant to discuss. I previously selected Seeking Sarah which everyone enjoyed, and this month I selected Mama’s Boy. I throughly enjoyed Mama’s Boy as it touches on so many topics; marriage infidelity, forgiveness, African Americans relation with the police, friendship, the black church, special groups out for justice or out for themselves, a Mother’s love, I could go on. I am so looking forward to our group discussion. I am not sure if you ever participate in book club group discussions via phone or in person but I thought I would inquire. Thank you for writing such entertaining books with lively well developed characters.
When did you decide to leave fox so abruptly? Did you have those stories just waiting for publishing? Id like to begin with the first, what is the title and how many do you have to this date.

Ms. Billingsley:
I recently read your book “More to Life: and was disappointed that you did not mention Aja going to a psychiatrist, marriage counselor or a therapist. Even after she was in a wheelchair the majority of the time the primary physician mandates you see a psychologist/psychiatrist because it is a drastic change that you are unable to walk. Are you under the assumption that black people don’t need therapy?

Hello ReShonda,
My book club J’aime Lire just finished reading The Stolen Daughter. We will be discussing the book on Sunday, August 29, 2021. We are located here in Houston and we meet via Google Meet. We would absolutely love for you to join us if you are available. I thoroughly enjoyed the book as it touches upon a topic that some of us are dealing with or know someone who is dealing with a family member who has dementia.
WoW! You have written 53 books. Congrats and Hook ’em Horn!
