About the Author

Sylvia Hubbard knew she’d wanted to be a writer of romance long before she knew there were black writers in the world. Weaving stories magically as a summer past time to writing stories to get through the humdrum of school, she was able to create something from nothing.

Today, she has independently published over 40 books, is the founder of Motown Writers Network and The Michigan Literary Network, CEO of HubBooks Literary Services, runs over five blogs on a variety of subjects, host The Michigan Literary Network Radio Show and is a happily divorced mother of three children in Detroit, Michigan.

“I’m no superwoman,” she states with a smile that seems infinite on her lips. “I’m just being an asset in the world instead of a liability.”

Find the answers wrapped around suspense, drama, and romance in Beautiful, Author Sylvia Hubbard’s 40th Novel. Read chapters 1-5 of Beautiful for free

Being devious…. Out of the box #plotting | .#Beautiful Journey

I didn’t understand deviousness until I graduated from high school and went out into the real world.

That’s a pretty weird statement coming from me seeing that I grew up around three sisters who all had read the Art of War and used it in and around the household with each other in order to win the war without physically fighting.

I also didn’t learn what mind raped was until I went to college. It’s basically being bullied mentally until you go insane because you really don’t know what’s happening to you.

Even though both experiences in my life were horrific once the discovery of what they were came to light, I have to say I’m glad I learned them in the early ages and on top of that I then learned how to do them.

I’m always like that. When something bad happens to me, I learn from it, not just suffer from it, otherwise what’s the fun?

There in lies plot though.

Being devious to the reader is hard. They can see everything. Once you master deviousness to the reader, you’ve mastered plot. Being able to hide something in plain sight is a skill, in writing in life.

I learned how to be beautifully devious in life. And I found it made people really ugly.

I watch and wait and see people openly deceive and hide who they are to people every day. The lies they tell, the backstabbing they do, the manipulation they achieve. I find it fascinating.

When I was writing Beautiful, I allowed the reader to know there were bad people in Madison's life.

So how could I deceive the reader? By putting evil in plain sight. Yet, as I said before human deviousness is a fascinating thing and I've mastered the art of giving my characters real personalities. In my stories, the characters will always do the unexpected.

I can't wait for you to dive into Beautiful and let me know how many twists and turns you found through the story line. See just how devious humans can be while Madison tries to find her Beautiful.

Excerpt

Turning into the kitchen…

“Shit! How did you get in here?”

“It was easy.”

“Have you been here this entire time?”

“Yes.”

“How? Why? What do you want?”

 “I can see you didn’t take my advice.”

“What advice was that?”

“The note, the doll, the car seat; don’t you remember?”

“That was you?”

“Of course, who else would it have been? Oh, let me guess, you have another baby daddy besides my husband.” She laughs. “I knew you were a whore.”

“It’s time for you to go,” I say, walking over to disarm the alarm.

“I’m not going anywhere. I gave you a chance and you didn’t take it.”

“A chance? You think killing my baby is a chance? What is wrong with you?”

“You!” she screams. “You’re what’s wrong with me. It’s simple bitches like you who find pleasure in destroying somebody’s else marriage. Well, you’ve picked the wrong one this time. Little girl, I’ve spent the last twenty-five years of my life making my husband into somebody, and if you think I’m going to hand him over to you, you’re crazier than I am.”

“Look lady, I don’t want your husband. And for the record, he came to me. Hell, did you remind him that he was married because obviously he forgot. Wasn’t he the one you took vows with? If you should be mad at anybody, it’s him.”

“No bitch! You’re to blame. Had you kept your legs closed, we wouldn’t have this problem. Did you honestly think I would let you bring my husband’s baby into the world, making me a laughing stock of this city?”

“He doesn’t even know I’m pregnant so stop with all the threats. I have no intention on telling him nor do I want him. So why don’t you leave and we’ll never talk about it again?”

“It’s too late for that. I gave you a choice, but now it’s time for you to pay. I will not allow you to have what I worked so hard for.”

“Have you not heard anything I said? I. DON’T. WANT. YOUR. HUSBAND!” I scream.

“I know, because you won’t get him. I’ll be damned if you and this bastard child will reap the benefits of my harvest. No honey, you won’t get the chance.”

“How did you know I was pregnant anyway? No one knows but--”

“That doesn’t matter anymore.”

“You’re crazy and it’s time for you to leave,” I say, turning to open the door while starting to dial 911.

Before I can speak, I feel a sharp pain in the back of my head. Falling to the floor, she continues to hit me. I try to curl into a ball to protect my stomach from her kicks but she continues to deliver blow after blow.

The last thing I remember is her whispering, “Tell my husband hello when you meet him in hell.”
