When the cake is made, a book by lisa wu hartwell and miasha
Featured in national magazines like Essence, Vibe, Philadelphia Magazine, Jet and later in Elle the first urban literature author to grace the pages , Miasha has been very visible.
This story exposes the dark
Her presence was felt even stronger just four months later when she released her top selling sophomore novel, Diary of a Mistress. Known for having extravagant release parties, the Diary of a Mistress launch included a fashion show and a comedy show featuring Kevin Hart. This authenticity landed the book on the best sellers list and Miasha on the cover of Black Expressions.
Averaging two books a year, Miasha was making history in the literary industry—much the way she did when she first entered it. Unlike many first time authors, particularly in the urban arena, Miasha did not have to self-publish before getting a deal. Instead, she garnered interest from several major publishing houses causing a bidding war to ensue.
Publishing powerhouse Simon and Schuster was the highest bidder, granting Miasha a six-figure deal. Since then Miasha has been a trailblazer, putting out back-to-back best sellers, including a sequel to her first and most provocative novel, Secret Society titled Never Enough. In addition to releasing seven titles under Simon and Schuster, Miasha contributed to Diamond Playgirls, an anthology published by Kensington Books.
She also went on to release an eBook independently, titled The Return of Chatman; bringing forth the launch of her very own eBook publishing company, Fifth Avenue Entertainment. Through Fifth Avenue, Miasha not only publishes her own works but the digital works of top writers in urban fiction and in November she published the company's first paperback novel, When the Cake is Made, which she co-authored with Real Housewife of Atlanta, Lisa Wu Hartwell.
The novel follows the lives of three women when they intertwine after three disaster weddings and a dress burning ceremony. A vivid imagination and an extreme work ethic, Miasha has not just limited herself to books. In she and her husband Rich Coleman, produced the stage play adaptation of Secret Society.
