Ladies’ Night Out @ Cindies
I had yet another salacious Sunday reading! I’d stopped by Cindie’s nearly a month ago just to drop off a press kit, containing a press release for Tribe of One as well as an excerpt from the book, a copy of an erotic short story and an erotic poem. I had had no idea that … Continue reading
So, How Does YOUR Garden Grow?
For the second week in a row, I did something that I’d never done before…supervise the creation of a square garden at the high school where I teach. Although it was a rewarding experience, yesterday was the culmination of months of planning, overcoming many obstacles and several donations. My main objective for revitalizing the school’s … Continue reading
Jiu Jitsu Challenge
I did the predictable things during my spring break “staycation”: painting, writing, dancing (salsa and tango), dropping off press kits, organizing my files (electronic and tangible), and training capoeira. Yet, one of the most memorable parts of my time off was trying something I’d never done before: jiu jitsu. I’d heard of the “other” Brazilian … Continue reading
Spring Breaking as an Artist
Sheer relief overcame me on Friday at 4:15. That was the official start of spring break. Of course, we teachers aren’t supposed to leave until 4:30–looks bad if most of us beat the students out of the building! So the fact that I was there until 4:45, marking projects and entering grades wasn’t me trying … Continue reading
Seek and Ye Shall Find
Last weekend, I invested quite a bit of time and as little money as I could get away with to make 30 press kits. My goal was to visit different potential venues in order to set up a reading. Although I write a variety of things, I’m currently promoting myself as an erotic writer, mainly because … Continue reading

I Got the Global Look!
This past Thursday, I attended the Black Heritage Program at my school. I was impressed by the diversity of talent shown by my Black students and was so proud that many of the performers had received recognition for maintaining at least a 3.0 GPA. I was caught off guard when they started handing out certificates … Continue reading
Internationally Read
Thanks to my friends living outside the States in such exotic-sounding places like Egypt, Honduras, Mexico, Tanzania, Uzbekistan, (Canada), and the Philippines, I have earned the introductory phrase, “internationally read author”. Not that I’m going to insist that people introduce me as “The internationally read author, Teresa Y. Roberson” at such informal events such as … Continue reading
Cupid’s Naughty Secrets
So tonight was a night of many firsts: my first reading of exclusively my own book excerpts, short story and poetry; my first book signing; and Esquina Tango’s first book reading. I entertained about 30 people with my make-you-blush writings in the cozy, warmly decorated red, yellow and black surroundings of the tango studio where … Continue reading
Carnaval
This year’s carnaval, featuring the Austin Samba School and of course, my fellow capoeiristas and me from Capoeira Evolucao, was better than last year’s. We capoeiristas again formed a roda around the samba performers so they could do their spectacular thing twice during the night, which had the theme of Alice in Wonderland. I’m so happy … Continue reading
