Urban Reviews:  How did the concept for this book come about?
Maseyree:  The book was written after I received several hundred emails from fans asking me what happens with the characters from the novel It Just Gets Better With Time. They were emailing me with questions like, "what happened to Andrea, and did Punkin find a man," so I had to think of something quick since I originally hadn’t planned on writing a sequel. So, one day I ended up just jotting down a few ideas and before I knew it, Only Time Will Tell had surfaced.

I was still living in Michigan, and at the time, working in a beauty salon when a friend came in bragging about a book that he had written. I told him that I had always wanted to write a book and he asked me what was I waiting on. That night I went home and started writing my first book. I worked on it every opportunity I had, day and night. A couple of days later I had hand written over four hundred pages.

Urban Reviews:  What has been the biggest challenge with the regard to your novel?
Maseyree:  The biggest challenge for me has been trying to get my novels on major bookstore shelves. When you don’t have a major publisher and/or distributor backing you it is hard to get the distributors to put effort into seeing that your books are on shelves. Even though I have people going into the stores requesting my novels, on a regular, I still receive emails from readers who tell me that the store told them that the books were listed as being out of stock.

Urban Reviews:  What are your ultimate goals as far as the book industry?
Maseyree:  I would like to see my novels listed on the Essence and The New York Times Bestsellers list. And I’d also like to have my books sold via Black Expressions book club.

Urban Reviews:  What things did you do to help prepare you on your literary journey?
Maseyree:  After writing my first book, I took a few writing classes and attended a few writers seminars where I learned lots of ways to improve and become a more creative writer.

Urban Reviews:  Do you have any ideas or plans for an upcoming project?
Maseyree:  Of course. I am currently working on the screenplay for my first novel It Just Gets Better With Time. My plan is to direct and produce a stage play or film based on the book. Actually, I plan to produce a film for all of my novels. I am also working on my third book that is looking to have a late 2010 release date.

Urban Reviews:  Do you have any favorite authors or books?
Maseyree:  I would have to say that Terri McMillan is my favorite author because her book, Mama was the first non-fiction book I ever read, that was written by an African American author. After reading Mama, I was really inspired to write about some of the stories that lived only in my imagination.

Urban Reviews:  What do you like to do outside of writing?
Maseyree:  When I am not writing I love to travel. I also enjoy singing and dancing.

Urban Reviews:  Is there anything else that you’d like to share about yourself or your novel?
Maseyree:  Go to the bookstores and request your copy of It Just Gets Better With Time and Only Time Will Tell. Purchase the books, read them and email me your comments. I love hearing what readers think of my work. It also helps me to keep writing what the readers like. PLENTY OF DRAMA!!!
