| Naturally Nate inspiration |
| For Naturally Nate, I see Rosario Dawson as conservative Farrah Yancey, the young woman determined to keep Nate's pants on...in public! |
Crazy In Love (Formerly called Tru Lee Stellar) - I wrote this for two different reasons. I
had seen that the rapper Jay-Z and singer of Destiny's Child, Beyonce, were a couple.
Although Jay-Z is a gifted rapper, he's not much to look at, so I wanted to write a story that
would explain that pairing. How does someone like Beyonce love a guy like Jay-Z? Then I
watched VH-1's "Behind the Music" about Tim McGraw and I dropped that idea and instead
wrote a romance between someone who looked like Beyonce and a hero who looked like
Tim McGraw.
Naturally Nate - Now posted! The first chapter!
