<p><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>If you were going to buy one book</strong> (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R33AJNJCU840A0/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm">Direct Link</a>)</span>This is the one. JaNese Dixon has written a story that grabs your attention, with characters that I want to know more about. One of the characters Talib is one I hope she brings back as he has MANY stories to tell. The central character is an agent who gets caught up in drama while undercover, with folks around her who stay in trouble of some kind. I really enjoyed this book with its twists and turns and I think you will as well.<br /><br /><strong>Wonderful story by first time author</strong> (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R3P38BWM7TERER/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm">Direct Link</a>)<br /><br />
Ja'Nese Dixons first novel is a hit!<br /><br />
Black Diamond, the story of Camille Blackwell, working undercover for the FBI to expose the underworkings of the diamond trade, Ja'Nese weaves us a tale of love, trust, betrayl, murder and greed - all the things that make a story good!<br /><br />
Ja'Nese is a fantastic story teller, keeping the reader entertained with great character and scene development, all set in her home town of Houston, so we get to "see" the city as she sees it. Vibrant and alive.<br /><br />
Ja'Nese was kind enough to join me on Page Readers to talk about her book, and her work as a publicist for other fabulous authors. Find her interview at [...]. I'm sure you will enjoy hearing her talk about her work!</p>
