It’s every author’s

dream to see their

thoughts come to life. For

Urban Fiction authors it

doesn’t happen that

often. Trying to make

marks in the literary

industry alone is a task

for African American

authors. Award winning

authors and bestselling

authors are titles given to

Dear Love Letter,

My question is about keeping a marriage

strong. My husband I were married on

2/14/12. Now that we are married I

would like to know how to keep the mar-

riage fresh. We are still in the fresh stage

but eventually I feel that will wear

off……………

Sincerely, Newlywed
