You will find me sprinkled gently throughout this site. I’m a late bloomer of sorts. I decided after several years of marriage and two children—and running a web design and online marketing company—to enter college.

I bumped around campus with a much younger crowd but I was grounded in my family and I learned that I loved being an entrepreneur. However, everything around me said “what are you going to do after graduation?” So, I went after a childhood dream, law school.

Law school altered my life significantly. I learned, quickly, that pushing papers was not what I’m called to do in this life. So I did some soul searching. I had to determine where my experience and passion would feel fulfilled and happy. And most of all, my family was my greatest priority.

While I figured things out my husband and I continued to work with our web design business. I realized that many business owners know very little about the power of online marketing. I mean, they know about the need to have an online presence. But beyond that many are clueless or they don’t care to know. (And that’s perfectly okay.)

This knowledge brought about my creation of Nia Promotions. I assist small businesses and fellow entrepreneurs with virtually promoting their services or products online. But as an additional service we include offline promotions as well. Nia Virtual Book Tours is one of tailored services offered through Nia Promotions.

Nia Virtual Book Tours came about after watching many bookstores that cater to African-American authors close. I became so frustrated with walking through the isle of other book stores and not finding titles to browse and consider. So, I continued to read my favorites but I rarely learned of other authors.

I too am an avid reader of African-American literature. For example, I enjoy reading African-American historical romance and fiction—especially since I read a lot of technical information daily. I too like to get away.

When I curl up on my couch with the latest historical romance, I’m thrown back in time to the early twentieth century—horse riding, gun fights, strong heroines, dedicated and loving heroes. And for that period of time I’m not Dana.

I welcome you to our site. We aspire that you too will experience what your heart’s desire. But above all, we hope you find a good book to read. And share it with others.

God Bless,
