Product Description
If the wrong opportunity came along at the right time....what would you do?? Santee Mitchell seems to keep coming up short in life. At least that's how it seems in her mind. Growing up she constantly played second best to her older sister Sonya, and in adulthood, the patterned painfully continues. She's stuck with a two-timing, drug-dealing boyfriend, while her sister lucked up and hooked a professional ball player. Her money is always running short, when it ran at all. The last straw comes in the form of an eviction notice coupled with an ill-timed pregnancy. Determined to turn her luck around, as well as put some money in the bank, Santee turns to her friend Monique and is immediately hypnotized by the sparkle of her diamond encrusted world. But what she doesn't realize is that help from Monique comes with a price. A price that not even Santee is willing to pay. Haunted by a fire that still burns for her ex and driven by a wanton lust for a trick turned savior, Santee's plan starts to unravel and it may be too late to right her wrongs when Monique turns up dead and she is fingered for the gruesome crime; revealing a secret that changes her forever and forcing her to look for answers in the one place she's tried to avoid - inside herself.

Can Wrong Turn into Right?, Feb 16 2008
By M. Bruner ""Deltareviewer" Real Page ... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: All That Glitters (Paperback)
Santee Mitchell keeps coming up short. She is short on her rent, her car payment is way past due, and the love of her life gave her the short end of the stick. Santee knows that things have to change and it must happen fast. A distant friend, Monique, introduces Santee to a world of flashy clothes, fancy houses, and fine dining. The extravagant lifestyle leaves Santee's nose wide open. At first she didn't know what to think of the sexy dancing and long nights, until that first outlandish sexual experience turned her out. As she agreed to sell her soul to the devil, her money woes disappeared but her peace of mind takes a beating.ALL THAT GLITTERS is a sure fire page-turner. The character development is creatively wrapped around the drama that Santee encounters. The story has twists and turns that this reader never expected which made this reader finish the book in one setting. ALL THAT GLITTERS has a few gangsta characters but its not what I would consider urban lit as the plot doesn't focus on the drugs, murder, or videotapes rather on the relationships that behavior changes. Sparks definitely ranks among my new favorites and is an author everyone should watch.

Be careful what you wish for!!!, Nov 18 2007
By Terren Grimble "Author of Love Lessons" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: All That Glitters (Paperback)
All That Glitters is a compelling, engaging and wonderfully written story. D.L. Sparks is a great storyteller who presents a realistic peek into the life of Santee Mitchell, a girl seemly at her wits end who makes one bad decision after another. But she soon finds out some decisions can cost you more than you bargain for. I enjoyed reading All That Glitters so much that I could not put it down!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: All That Glitters (Paperback)
When I read the excerpts for this book, I had to have it. Reading "All That Glitters" was like have a scoop of your favorite icecream and being disappointed after you had eaten that last spoon dull! D.L. Sparks made the characters come alive ... at times I felt like I was part of the book. Needless to say, I can't wait for the future works that this wonderful author produces! Hurry D.L.; your public awaits!!!!Jackie Hopgood
