Satin Doll - by Karen E. Quinones Miller ($12.95 - Oshun Publishing Co.)
Regina Harris has it going on. Drop-dead gorgeous, intelligent and a
successful freelance writer, the sassy 26-year-old seems the poster child for
African American young professionals.
But what would her colleagues say if they knew Regina was once a professional
shoplifter and “career girlfriend?” That she was shot and almost killed while
hanging out with a drug dealer?
Set in Harlem and Philadelphia, Satin Doll tells the story of a woman living
in two worlds, and feeling comfortable in neither. The lovely Regina sips
cocktails in Greenwich Village with the literary elite one night, and goes
barhopping with her Harlem homegirls the next.
There's Yvonne, who discovers the lawyer she is dating is married, but
decides to steal him away from his wife. Tamika, who finds out the prison
inmate she's been loyal to for three years has married a white woman while
behind bars. And Puddin,’ a cocaine sniffing good-time girl who will snatch
off her wig to fight at the drop of a hat.
But when Regina falls in love with aspiring politician Charles Whitfield, she
has to choose between her two worlds -- and wonder if her shady past will
come back to haunt her.

“. . . a real page turner! You won’t want to put it down. . . . It’s about
wanting more, getting it, and finding sometimes that the brass ring is just
that - brass. A great book club choice.”
Jenice M. Armstrong, Philadelphia Daily News
“Satin Doll moves, grooves, fights and delights. It’s wonderfully
entertaining and a must read.”
Jamal Joseph, television and movie screenwriter, director and producer
"Filled with sassy, humorous, and thought-provoking dialogue, Satin Doll is a
