Devoted wife and mother Georgia Brown is fed up with her marriage to radio personality Marvelous Marvin-and not just because she suspects he's cheating. What really set her off were the comments he made-on the air-about her weight and their sex life. Finally, Georgia phones the station to let her husband have it-not realizing that she's on the air. What she says piques the interest of an aggressive young radio executive in search of a female host for a nationally syndicated show. Soon Georgia's a household name. But Marvin refuses to be beaten. And what was a battle at home will become a blistering ratings war for all to hear.

Sweet Georgia Brown- a humble housewife determined to become a household name!

Meet Cheryl Robinson
After graduating from the famed Cass Technical High School, native Detroiter Cheryl Robinson headed for D.C. where she attended Howard University for two years before returning to Detroit to complete her business degree from Wayne State University. It was at Wayne State where she discovered her passion for writing when a last minute decision to enroll in a fiction writing class opened Cheryl's imagination for creating memorable characters.

In 2001, shortly after the death of her only brother Benjamin Jr., Cheryl completed her first novel, Memories of Yesterday, which was dedicated to his memory. The following year Cheryl self-published Memories of Yesterday. And in 2003, her second novel When I Get Free. In 2004, after acquiring a literary agent, she landed her first book deal with New American Library (NAL) a division of The Penguin Group, a major publishing company based in New York that re-released Memories of Yesterday in 2005 under the title If It Ain't One Thing with the sequel It's Like That also published by NAL the following year.

Two more book deals followed; one with HarperCollins Publishing company for the anthology These Are My Confessions in which Cheryl penned the novella Strapped, which will be released in July 2007 and another novel with Penguin (NAL) entitled Sweet Georgia Brown, which will be released in December 2007.

Aside from Detroit, Cheryl has also had the opportunity to live in Syracuse, Kansas City, Dallas, and Orlando, but so far her novels have all been set in the city that she knows the best--Detroit.
