Author and Publisher Deborah Cardona,
better known by her ghetto pseudonym, "Sexy," began her writing career as an inmate
of the torture chamber behind America's fake facade of justice.
Sexy was born in New York City in 1965, and grew up in Spanish
Harlem, where she was involved with gangs and drugs. She draws vivid novels from her past experiences and makes us feel what
it means to be poor and proud and generous; to be streetwise and full of bravado but frightened, too; to struggle to go straight;
to be ashamed of being ashamed; to dream. A mother of three sons, Sexy had her first novel published by Iuniverse in 2002.
Shortly thereafter Teri Woods and Relentless Aaron both sought out her work for publishing. Today Sexy offers others in her
once similar position the opportunity to be published Deja Vu Publications.
