Meet the Author...

Selena Haskins is a character-driven novelist whose passion for storytelling is only rivaled by her love for morning coffee. Selena draws inspiration from the beauty of her native Washington, DC, and the suburban side of Maryland, where she spends time indulging in steamed crabs and soaking in the mesmerizing ocean sunsets with her loved ones.

Passion and Hobbies

When Selena is not crafting compelling fiction novels, she loves romantic-comedy movies, reading the Bible, delving into history, and exploring literature on self-development. Additionally, she finds joy in nature walks, seaside retreats, family gatherings, and bonding with her husband and son in a game of basketball.

Testimonials

I really enjoyed this book. It was very well-written and I felt like the characters were members of my own family! The references to the late 80s and early 90s were a nostalgic stroll down memory lane. Looking forward to Ms. Haskins next book!

-S. Morrison (Cousins-All We Got Is Us!)

I finished this twisty, page-turner of a book in a day! The story shows how the actions of one generation impacts the next and I love that it highlights families learning to communicate with each other and the importance of the cousin bond. Looking forward to part two!

-G. Ethier (Cousins-All We Got Is Us!)

I love reading her books. She writes the kind of books that you just can’t put down!

-Melly (Cousins-All We Got Is Us)

The deeply buried secrets of the older generation unravel and the cousins have to decide how they will take the information and forge ahead. Selena Haskins has pulled it off, again!

-L. Dixon (Cousins-All We Got Is Us)

The author weaves an emotional and dramatic tale populated by indelible characters like Mama, Peaches, Connie, Dean and Baby. This is a gritty saga filled with real issues - teen pregnancy, gangs, abuse, poverty, race, etc. – and the author handles these aspects of the plot especially well, enhancing the story and keeping us turning the pages. Engaging writing, well told and highly recommended.

– B. Nelson (A River Moves Forward)

I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters in the book were relatable and I was able to vision the things that took place due to the great detail of Mrs. Haskins writings. This is truly a MUST READ BOOK. I guarantee you will really enjoy this book!

-K. Ransom (A River Moves Forward)

The threads of this novel are brilliantly woven together, and this tear-jerking, passionate story kept me on tenterhooks. It's a universal story we can all empathize with. It's 'what if...' and 'if only I had a second chance...' Scintillating, exciting, emotional...a roller-coaster of expectations, twists and turns and surprises.

-S. Mory (Yesterday Was a Long Time Ago)

This book had me all in my feelings. It felt like I was Germaine in this book. I could feel her losses and gains throughout the book. They say if you love something let it go and if it is meant to be it will come back. I love the fact that it had ups and downs because that is how life is but in the end it all worked out! I would love a part 2 to this book.
