“It’s difficult to classify myself solely as a writer of romance, when in fact writing about women’s lives, and the complexities that has gone into making her that woman, entails a great deal more than romance.”

A shout out to all the reviews I’ve been receiving from reviewers & my Reader Appreciation Tribe - one reader asked me how I deal with negative reviews & feedbacks & I told her that I WIN or I LEARN. I take nothing personal. A review is a person’s opinion, everyone has an opinion. I strife to enhance, develop & improve my life & lit skills. Writing is my super power. I stay focused, I listen to the whispers of wisdom & knowledge & welcome love & healing warm energy into my life. Happy, lazy Sunday - hope you enjoy. #author #bookreviews #reviewers #booklovers #romance #romancereadersofinstagram #loveagain #romancenovels #authorrashedaashantimalcolm #sundayvibes #writingismysuperpower #healing #warmenergy #passionforlove
Look at her! I try & encourage the next generation in my dynasty to enjoy reading & writing among all the other interests children pick up in 21st Century UK - but this here three-year-old diva grandchild of mine, Yara, we call her Yaya-Boom, never fails to amaze me with her dynamic characters she puts on at will. She reads when she wants, writes when she wants, but what she’s really good at - is being a natural leader, & not a follower. #bossbaby #bossgirl #childrenarethefuture #girlsquad #superstar #proudgrandma #forevergrateful

So looking forward to the literary event of 2020 - lockdown has had its effect on this amazing initiative created by Jacaranda Books to publish 20 authors of colour in 2020, but still we RISE & our stories have gained voices & we are excited about being show-cased to the world.

My door bell rang & a bunch of flowers is delivered & placed in my arms, courtesy of my four sons. “Congratulations on your second book, your fabulous online book launch & your new dream job at Aqua BluGames - head of the writing department, overseeing scripts for books, games & movies.’ #ilovemysons #mamasboys #gratitude #gratitudeisamust #loveyou #love #booksbooksbooks #author #rashedaashantimalcolm #souljahkingdomrise #skr #aquablugames #aquabooks #aquamovies I give thanks for life🙏🏾
Since my online book launch, I’ve been snowed under with work, enjoyable work, but work all the same. So I took a break from writing for a few hours and looked at quotes that inspire me from different authors. So I’m sharing my inspiring quotes with you. #authorquotes #booklovers #readersofig #inspiringquotes #authors #writersofig #quotes #quotesofinstagram #twentyin2020
Look at that captivating smile. My fellow #Twentyin2020 author #stellaoni, not just a superb writer, by an avid reader - and so supportive of other writers - you know peeps, to write well you got to read wide.

Three years ago, on my beloved island of Jamaica, in the Parish of St Ann, experiencing the healing energy of the ‘Fire Water’ - when this C-19 is all over, I know where I’m heading. #jamaicajamaica #tropicalvibes #tropicalbliss #river #firewater #energy #healing #healingwater #writerslifeforme
Being a part of a cohort of writers, such as the #jacarandabooksartmusic, #Twentyin2020 Authors has some real perks. Like my fellow author, #stellaoni who arranged a book swap of her crime novel, Deadly Sacrifice with my romance novel, Love Again. I’m sure it’s obvious that my favourite genre is Women’s commercial fiction, romance, romcoms, but Stella’s crime novel has me hooked - I’m recommending you snuggle down under the duvet this weekend as autumn 🍂 takes hold, and read her book, followed by a good romance novel, Love Again. That’s your weekend sorted, you can thank me later 😂 #crimefiction #romance #readersofig #books #authors #writersofig #autumn #weekend #weekendvibes #twentyin2020 #jacarandabooksartmusic
My online book launch is fast approaching & so is my flagship creative writing workshops, which starts this Saturday, and we have a full house. With only 15 spaces allowed due to social-distancing, overall we had 36 interested women signed up to get writing. So glad to see sisters taking to the pages. Writing to Exhale will be repeated again in the NY. #booklaunch #booklovers #lovebooks #loveagain #romancenovels #romance #romancebookstagram #creativewriting #creativewritingworkshop #stilliwrite #rashedaashantimalcolm #sisters #sisterswriting #writer #justwrite
So my friend had to send me this recording & a pic of her husband reading my novel. Feedback is that he loved it - he also told me with his own mouth, and he can’t wait for my third book to come out. In fact he loved it so much, he also bought the audio from #audible - love it when brothers tell me they read my books. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽#loveagain #twentyin2020 #authors #novel #readers #readersofromance #womensfiction #menreadtoo #waynestain
Nearly there. Some of the #twentyin2020 authors are centre stage at Foyles. Xmas 2020 draws near, and what a year we’ve had. Let’s always look at what we have & be grateful for, let’s celebrate the greatness & draw strength from the not so good. And what is strength is what Jacaranda Publishers achieved, publishing 20 black authors in #2020. As we wait for the final of our #2020 authors to join us, we are happy to see #jacarandabooksartmusic #twentyin2020 authors filling the shelves in #foyles #bookshop. Getting to my point now, great Xmas gifts/birthdays, feel good gifts, these books make😁 #booksasgifts #bookstoread #blackbooks #blackbookstagram #booklover #foyles
