Portia A. Cosby (pictured left) will release Too Little, Too Late (DISTINCT Publishing, $14.99), the first novel from her "Situations & Circumstances" series on July 16, 2007. The Beaver Falls graduate currently divides her time between Stone Mountain, GA and Beaver Falls, PA.

Meet Tameka...
TAMEKA JAMES has always been a confident, outspoken, strong-willed woman with her one weakness being her ex-boyfriend, TJ. That weakness soon becomes the catalyst to a new life of fear, disease, and pain when one of TJ’s enemies rapes her and threatens to kill her if she goes to the police. Now with a police report on file, an HIV diagnosis in her medical records, and the rapist running free, Tameka fights to maintain normalcy and save her new relationship. As tensions mount and stakes are raised, some lives are threatened while others are taken. The phrase "Too little, Too late" becomes a reality instead of a cliché when last minute efforts are made in vain.
