Best-selling urban fiction author ReShonda Tate Billingsley discusses and reads from The Secret She Kept, her new novel about a marriage threatened by mental illness.

A Houston resident and the mother of three, Billingsley has written 23 books for adults and teens. She has been a reporter for the National Enquirer and an on-air anchor for television stations in Oklahoma City and Houston.

After rejections from publishers, Billingsley self-published her debut novel, My Brother’s Keeper, attracting a top literary agent and a deal with Simon & Schuster/Pocket Books.
