It’s OVA! The R&B Tour owes us absolutely NOTHING. One of THE best concerts I’ve ever been to, and L.A. was the perfect place to feel it.
When I say we partied… we did THAT. Surprise guests, the hits, the dances, and that DJ who started the night exactly right. So glad I wore sneakers.

The ladies showed up in their best heels… and the story showed up ready to serve. 💅🏾
THE MATTERS OF FRIENDSHIP (Book 2 of the series) is AVAILABLE NOW.
Sisterhood. Secrets. Second chances. And the kind of friendship that doesn’t flinch when life gets messy.

If you love stories where the romance is fire and the friendships stay ride-or-die, this one’s for you.

Grab it at ronadwrites.com and tell me which friend you’re pulling up with. 💕 by @ronadwrites

Thank you @thewritewomenbookfest for the opportunity to share the Friendship Matters Series at today’s Women in Fiction Book Fair ✨🩷📚
We had such a good time talking friendship, our love of books, and everything under the sun. Grateful for every person who stopped by and showed support. Even our Realtor, Chrissy, stopped by to ensure she was the first to purchase her copy 😉

It especially warmed my heart when Nina who’ve already found the series came to say hello and grab extra copies to share with friends/family.

Special shoutout to @djwhyte99 for making her way around the beltway to show up for me. I truly appreciate you ♥️

@storyinasip my drink was delish✨✨

What a beautiful day.

 This is the elegant retreat we all need. The last gathering of 2026. The one we’ll be talking about until next December.
