Dena Tyson Best Selling Author-Writer -Screenwriter - Playwrite & Poet
What a phenomenal experience I had with the students during my seminar at Evergreen Park
Community High School, in Evergreen Park Illinois. The teachers should stand proud because
their hard work certainly comes through in the students. The students should continue to stand
proud because of the positive image they reflect within themselves, each and every one of them.
Their respect for literature simply knocked me off my feet! They all enjoyed my novel Xceptance,
as much as I enjoyed reading and discussing it with them. I say to each of you and other students
alike continue to greatness, and no matter what you may be going through now in your lives good
or bad let NOTHING stand in your way Ever… no matter who or what it may be, always remember
you have yourself to answer to in the end. Make the right decisions and follow your dreams. Trust
me they do come true!
I thank you for the experience and Tony and I will cherish our gathering for a lifetime!
Warmest regards
~Dena
PHENOMENAL STUDENTS!!

What's goin on everybody...
Man-o-man I wanna tell you my conference at the
Chicago Black Womens Expo July 30th was just
AWESOME!! Speaking on the panel for Women Who
Survived the "Burning Coals" was phenomenal. I met
with so many other outstanding courageous women
and feel truly honored and blessed to be able to share
my story with them as well as the people in the audience.
I felt that everyone walked away motivated and inspired.
I looked out into the audience as I spoke and could see
it in everyone's faces. They were all as excited to be
there as we were to speak with them. My heart goes out
to so many people that I know who have been able to
over come their circumstances and those out there right
now that are still trying. I say to you hang in there... never
lose hope... and never stop believing in yourself and the
heavens above. You are worthy, God loves you and I
love you as well.
Can y'all tell I'm still pumped up from conference? lol
I had a chance to meet with Doug Banks, one of my favorite radio personalities over at V103, he was just the nicest
person and I signed a copy of Black Beans 'N Rice for him to read. I met his beautiful wife and kids. I had to ask his wife
what the heck she was feeding Doug because he was so big! lol I was like... "gurl what 'chu feedin Doug...?" She
laughed. I had a chance to meet and speak with Rudy from the station as well, crazy funny guy. lol I guess you could
say the fun started for us as soon as I pulled into the parking garage because the parking lady at the booth was
awesome and so helpful getting me squared away. She shared her story with me as well as her words of
encouragement.
Like I said it was a great day and an even greater event! I will be hitting the road again soon as I continue to promote my
new release Black Beans 'N Rice but y'all help me out on your end and be sure and pass the word on. Tell your friends,
family, lovers and ex-lovers, and even cousin Pookey 'nem to get they copy of the book! (and yes I meant "they") Don't be
sharing the book/passing it around especially if I signed it for you. Help a sistah out... ok?
You all take it easy be safe out there and I'll talk again soon!
Much Love,
~Dena

I just want to say...
I am truly humbled and want to
thank each and every one of you
for taking the time to check out
my site, and for supporting my
dream. I have been blessed with
the gift of writing and am so
grateful to the heavens above, and I
promise you will not be
disappointed.
Sometimes we have to believe enough in ourselves and step out on faith and let God do the
rest. For anyone that wants to pursue their dream I encourage you to channel in on what you
are truly passionate about and continue that path. Just believe and take the first step and the
rest will follow. Trust me I know, but you will have to take that first step towards your
journey and let nothing get in the way of that.
If anyone had told me the day I was laid off from my job, and the traumatic turn my life took
when my husband suffered a stroke that I would ever be able to come back from that and
write my first novel Give Me the Strength, and a second novel Xceptance two months later, I
would have said impossible after all I had already gone through enough let alone trying to be
thinking about writing a book! But with God all things are possible and God had a bigger
plan...
I have completed my 3rd novel "Black Beans 'N Rice" and my 4th "So Said To Be" with
many more titles to follow. God is good...
The same thing can happen for you and I encourage you to pick up that pen and start
writing if that is your passion as well. Stay determined..., reach higher than you can
imagine, and believe in yourself.
Best regards,
Dena Tyson
