Book Description
My aspiration for romance inspired me to write Satisfaction. I wanted to show just how romantic and sensual I can be, especially at a young age. The readers probably missed the fact that Jermaine, which is the name of the main character in Satisfaction, is actually my middle name. I pictured myself as if I was in his situation. I wrote the book as if I was trying to get the love of my life back. I guess you could say that I based Satisfaction off my real-life experience with love. First, writing was a way to relieve my stress, and then it became a hobby when I started getting creative with it. Then I realized I could be the master of romance from the way Jermaine proposed to Nicole at the end. I did not realize how romantic I could be until I finished writing Satisfaction. I thought about what I had to do to go above and beyond for my girlfriend, my fiance, or my wife.
