It’s the perfect time of the year for catching up on reading while enjoying the lazy days of summer. Enjoy our summer reading series as we introduce a different fiction or nonfiction author each Wednesday from now until Labor Day.
Sharon Oliver is originally from the Maryland/DC area. Although having lived in Charlotte, NC and Columbia, SC, the author has made the Atlanta area her home for the past 15 years. She’s worked for various federal government agencies over the years as a Systems Administrator, but felt a strong desire to do something else in life. In 2003, the desire became a call to write and she penned her first novel, Keep Your Enemies Closer, which was published in July 2008. The sequel, Deliver Me From My Enemies, hit the shelves in March 2009 and is now a Black Expressions bestseller.
Listen to Sharon read from her latest novel, Deliver Me From My Enemies.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Deliver Me From My Enemies deals with subject matters that go on behind closed doors. The protagonist, Charlotte Morley, receives a series of letters from her jailed aunt, Ramiyah. Everyone easily assumes Ramiyah’s motive for killing her husband stemmed from abuse, including being subjected to wife swapping.
However, it is soon discovered the real reason is rooted deep beneath the family tree. Adding humor to the mix is the tart-tongued-tell-it-like-it-is Miss Sista. Also, joining the eclectic cast of characters is Miss Sista’s son, Hiawatha Jones, and he has a few issues of his own.
