Sister’s Pact/A Plan for My Life, is a comical,yet sexy, African-American romance novel about two-star-crossed lovers, Jacqueline Stewart and Desmond Keir, and his interfering family. Oblivious to each other, they simultaneously travel from California to Michigan to begin new lives. Jackie is a newly- widow young mother with two young boys and Desmond is a Hip Hop drummer on hiatus. The scams his sister’s come up with to split up Jackie and Dez up are scandalous. Will Love Prevail?

About the Author

Almalia Card (pseudonym) is fulfilling a dream with the publication of her first novel entitled, Sister’s Pact/ A Plan for My Life. Her writing is inspired by her personal life lessons, what goes on in the world around her and a love for the written word. Almalia was born and raised on the Westside of Detroit, Michigan. Educated in the Detroit Public School system she showed a special talent for creative writing in her English and Writing Composition classes. As a teenager in the early 70’s, she was inspired to try writing her own poetry and short stories after being exposed to likes of The Last Poet’s, Nikki Giovanni, and her favorite writer Langston Hughes. Almalia took a break in her college education to get married and have children, thus causing her to graduate from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, ten years late. The career never came, but divorce did, and she found herself a single parent of two young boys. Finding time to write is hard when you are a single mom. She did manage to copyright a compilation of her unpublished poetry entitled, Sounds of My Youth.
