Ask LaJoyce Brookshire who she is and quickly she’ll tell you she’s, “God’s Girl!” As author of the novel Soul Food, she is the first African American to novelize a major motion picture.  She was chosen by HarperCollins Publishing to write the novelization from the movie’s script on the strength of her first novel, a suspense drama titled Web of Deception.  Due to LaJoyce putting to use her marketing and publicity expertise, Soul Food has out sold every movie tie-in book ever written.

 

With FAITH UNDER FIRE: Betrayed by a Thing Called Love, LaJoyce takes a pause from fiction and breaks a ten-year silence as she shares the true-life account of her ex-husband marrying her knowing he had AIDS.  She has also been a contributing essayist in the books SOULS OF MY SISTERS: Black Women Break Their Silence, Tell Their Stories, and Heal Their Spirits and GHETTOver GIRLS.

 

In her many lectures and interviews, LaJoyce covers how to take a book from concept-to computer-to-contract, as well as her experience as an entertainment publicist who has worked with the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Whitney Houston and Kenny G., to name a few; and how to break into the genres of publishing and entertainment.

 

LaJoyce is an ordained minister, a Doctor of Naturopathy, Minister of Health and Master Herbalist; a Certified Group Fitness Instructor; an avid lover of African Dance, and an advocate for literacy and abstinence.

 

She resides in the Poconos with her husband, childhood sweetheart Gus, daughter Brooke and dogs Rambo, Phoenix and Lexi.
