Hunter Hayes singer

Hi all,

it feels good to be back on the literary scene again, home from my extended hiatus! My first novel, Shoes On the Otha’ Foot, was originally self-published and got picked up by a major publisher where I landed a multiple book deal. (Shoes On the Otha’ Foot, A Pair Like No Otha’ – Harper Torch).

Both titles were praised and highly acclaimed. I’m ever so grateful to all of my reading fans, and now I’m prepared to promote what I feel is my best work yet, Stripper Pole to Heaven (Deuce Publishing - July 28, 2010). In case you were wondering, my favorite authors are Kimberla Lawson Roby, Mary Monroe, Terry McMillan, Sophie Kinsella, Eric Jerome Dickey, Noire, Claude Brown and Piri Thomas. I live in New York City.

And as for that burning question that everyone will want to know about...."Has Ms. Hunter Hayes ever swung on a stripper pole?" The answer is this, "No, but my new novel is very symbolic to me. When bad things happen to you again, and again, you tend to question why you? Now I understand it. At a point in my life, I had to be "stripped" of everything in order to find the strength to build myself back up again. After confronting it all, I wholeheartedly believe that there is no such thing as the impossible. I'm such a better me.”
