About Us

About five years ago Mimi had a conversation that literally changed the
course of her life. She was at a restaurant with a friend. Throughout the
lunch her friend’s cell phone kept ringing; different women were calling him.
After answering the phone one time he looked at Mimi and said something
like, “I haven’t spoken to her in weeks, but I bet I could convince her to have
sex with me again. She will probably resist at first, asking me where I’ve
been and why haven’t I called. But eventually she’ll give in.”

Later on he answered the phone again. After hanging up with yet a different
woman he said something to the effect of, “You know you women don’t know
your power. You are selling yourselves too short.”

Mimi was alarmed. She heard how he was talking to the women on the
phone. They had no idea he really believed they had power they had failed
to tap into. Mimi wondered if she had failed to tap into her power. Did all
women have it? That night she started writing what is now the first chapter to
The Single Sister Experiment.

Mimi believed that if someone gathered all the single women in the world
and told them just how powerful they were, lives would change. Mimi wanted
women to meet, talk, and eventually unleash their undiscovered power. She
knew there was no way that all single women could get together in one
place, so she created a fictional meeting place.

Within a few days of beginning The Single Sister Experiment, Mimi shared
the first few pages with friends as well as strangers. The reaction Mimi
received confirmed what she was thinking: The Single Sister Experiment is
not just a novel, it is a ministry.

Mimi was completing a college degree in the restaurant industry before she
started working on her novel. In a leap of faith Mimi left school and
completed work on her novel. Within two years with money donated by
family and friends Mimi completed the self-published version of The Single
Sister Experiment. As soon as the novel was released Mimi started getting
calls from women saying the book was life-changing and unforgettable.

Mimi was invited to an author’s luncheon at a local bookstore in 2005. She
didn’t know it at the time but doors were opening for The Single Sister
Experiment to be published by a traditional publisher.

At that meeting one of the authors on the panel purchased Mimi’s novel.
The author later read it and told Mimi about a new imprint called Urban
Christian/ Kensington publishing. Mimi had been reluctant to send her novel
to a traditional publisher. The Single Sister Experiment did not fit into a
specific genre. Mimi believed the novel would not work if the message was
watered down.

Mimi, fasted, prayed then sent the novel to Urban Christian’s submission
editor. The submissions editor called Mimi with a two-book deal offer. The
editor informed Mimi that changes would need to be made but nothing that
would compromise the integrity of The Single Sister Experiment. Mimi
signed the contract and began working with Urban Christian’s editor. The
Single Sister Experiment will be re-released in bookstores everywhere
May 2007.

While writing The Single Experiment Mimi became a Christian, stopped
having sex, and received a B.S. in Christian Ministry. Mimi's new lifestyle
attracted the man of her dreams. He proposed during a special Valentine's
day event in front of hundreds of thousands of people on a Houston news
telecast. Mimi and her husband live in the Houston area and have been
married for one year.

Mimi is currently promoting The Single Sister Experiment and working on
her second novel.

On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor,
but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Mark 2:17 (New International Version)
