Meet Lucinda Lovitt, a fine lady living in the City of Berkshire, United Kingdom. A newcomer to Southeastern England by way of Durham, North Carolina, this six-foot-tall and bodacious, lovely African American lady is adjusting to life in a new country. A lot of African Americans have been moving to England lately, mostly to the London Metropolitan Area, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's about time that African Americans left the confines of the U.S. and made their presence felt on the world stage. The Age of the African American Expatriate has officially begun.
After moving to Berkshire, Lucinda found the place to her liking and decided to leave her mark on it. To that end, Lucinda opened up an African American-themed bookstore and lately, business has been booming. It's like the white British public knew nothing about black literature and black artists. Well, Lucinda is changing that and making a profit at the same time. Every businessperson must find a niche for their business and ensnare their clientele. It's what makes the difference between boom and bust for a lot of new businesses.
Lucinda Lovitt is introducing the avid readers of Berkshire, UK, to the works of African American authors like E. Lynn Harris, Eric Jerome Dickey, La Jill Hunt, Tananarive Due, Sister Souljah and many more. As it turns out, those nice white folks living in Berkshire are fascinated by all things American, and African American literature has them utterly mesmerized. Lucinda realized this the first time a white British grandmother bought ten novels authored by classic African American street novelist Donald Goines. African American literature is going to rock the British folks world...
Lucinda is a savvy businesswoman who knows her clientele and its unique needs, and as a result, business is booming. Lucinda realized that with her business on the rise, she needs to expand and hire local talent. To that end, Lucinda has hired a young man named Stanley Cosgrove to help her with things at the store. That's when things got a bit dicey. When a new element is introduced in a system, the potential for both success and failure will depend on how this new element is managed. Lucinda's business is doing alright, but has she made a big mistake by hiring the newcomer?
"Ma'am, you can count on me," said Stanley Cosgrove at the end of the interview. The tall, brown-skinned and green-eyed, Afro-sporting young man smiled at Lucinda, his new boss. Prior to interviewing for the position of bookstore clerk, Stanley did his research on Lucinda Lovitt. The tall, curvy and dark-skinned African American gal was born and raised in the City of Durham, North Carolina, and has a bachelor's degree in commerce from Duke University, along with an MBA from Carolina State University. According to her various social media profiles, Lucinda likes younger men of the light-skinned or biracial variety. Nothing wrong with that, as far as Stanley Cosgrove is concerned.
"Stanley, take care of business and we won't have any problems," Lucinda said, and Stanley nodded and smiled. With his good looks and easy smile, Stanley Cosgrove reminded Lucinda of the Hot Mugshot Guy, who took social media by storm a few years back. Hmm, while Lucinda does like the bad boys, she wasn't about to hire one to help run her business. Lucinda thoroughly researched Stanley's background prior to hiring him. The brother was born in Berkshire to an Irish father and a Jamaican immigrant mother. Stanley had a degree in business management from Brunel University, but had been out of work for six months prior to meeting her.
"I've got your back, ma'am," Stanley said with an easy smile. Lucinda thanked him for his time and sent him on his way. As the brother exited the bookstore, Lucinda couldn't help check out his ass. Stanley is a fine-looking brother with a nice ass. What Lucinda didn't know is that Stanley's mesmerizing ass has a habit of getting him in and out of trouble. For example, six months ago, Stanley came into a boon. Fifty seven thousand two hundred and fifty five British pounds, or seventy seven thousand American dollars, got deposited into Stanley's account with HSBC Holdings, of the UK's top banks. No, the young Afro-British fellow did not win the lottery.
Berkshire MP Wilford Forsythe is by all means an ambitious man. Tall and handsome, with blond-white hair and blue eyes, he looked more like a Hollywood actor than a career politician. Educated at Brunel University and Cambridge College London, he worked in the business world for a number of years and was even a corporate manager with HSBC Holdings before venturing into politics. Wilford Forsythe is married to a tall, lovely Ethiopian-British woman named Isabelle Girma, and they have two adult daughters together, Mariam and Adele. It's through his daughter Adele that Wilford met Stanley Cosgrove...
Stanley Cosgrove is the kind of man who causes both women and men to get nervous around him due to his good looks and confidence. During his final semester at Brunel University, Stanley became friends with Adele Forsythe, a young mixed-race woman who had a crush on him. The plump, homely Adele wasn't really Stanley's type, but upon meeting her father, MP Wilford Forsythe, Stanley sensed an opportunity. Men who are bisexual or gay or heteroflexible tend to make eye contact with other men in a way that heterosexual men never do. It's a dead giveaway that a man is not straight.
