E-Spire Entertainment News

eSpire Entertainment welcomes Shani Greene-Dowdell. Shani is one of the newest members to join the team. She'll be doing music reviews and interviews.

SHANI GREENE-DOWDELL is the author of Keepin' It Tight, a wife and mother of three. Born and raised in Tuskegee, Alabama, Shani was fascinated by creative writing and writing plays as a child. She attended Troy State University at Montgomery and Southern Union Community College in Opelika, Alabama with the goal of becoming a nurse, but motherhood changed her career path to becoming a work-from-home medical transcriptionist. Shani found very little time for writing while raising her children until 2005. With her children older and her determination to change the dynamics of her career, Shani started writing Keepin' It Tight and she hasn't put her pen down since. Keepin' It Tight (released May 28, 2007 through www.lulu.com) is a poignant tale about a black woman's search for love and one white woman's quest to tear down the relationship that the sistah finds. It's racy, it's daring, it pushes the envelope - It's Shani!!

Shani's first love for literature is reading. She is a reviewer for Strive Magazine (online publication) and Big Time Publishing Magazine (print publication). She is a contributing author in Jessica Tiles' spicy erotic anthology, Erogenous Zone: A Sexual Voyage, and has her very own erotic anthology Mocha Chocolate: Taste a Piece of Ecstasy coming in March 2008. Whether Shani is writing poetry, blogging, or working on one of her several writing projects, she is determined to follow her heart and become a best-selling author. "To be able to write full time one day," Shani says, "that is my dream!"
