There is something very specific that’s propelling me to tell a story, and a theme that goes through most of my work is that I am all about centering marginalized people. KENNEDY RYAN: When I write, I write on a mission. Has your perspective changed at all now that you’ve had some time to marinate in the victory? I love that I can gush over your books and tell you I could hug you and you think it’s normal (I hope!) This is a book that should be read by everyone.ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: It’s been a few months since your historic RITA win. I love that I can message you at midnight and you always answer. I think Iris’ ability to find strength and find the good again speaks volumes. We are all given this life, and there are bad things that happen to all of us. This is a story about a journey- a woman’s journey to find her strength and how obstacles might have changed the circumstances in her life, but she doesn’t let it define her or let them run the course. Long Shot is a hard look at something that is happening behind closed doors, and even right in front of our faces.

They resonate with me in ways no other author has. There is something I see in myself in every one of her characters. They way I feel connected to her stories is almost indescribable- I think she has the best ability to connect us to her characters. Pause at how I view the world and those in it. They give you a glimpse into something that’s so real it’s almost not fiction. Kennedy’s words were written beautifully, with taste and tact. I finally took the Long Shot plunge and like always I have no idea why I waited as long as I did. *Some aspects of this story may be sensitive for some readers. Now there's a new player in the game, August West.īut my past, my fraudulent prince, just won't let me go I was a fool, and his love - fool's gold. I kissed the prince and he turned into a fraud. Think you know what it's like being a baller's girl?
