SEARCHABLE WHEREABOUTS
By Tinisha Nicole Johnson

What happens when you discover hidden family secrets, after you find out your loved one is murdered? This is what happens to Rahkel Williams in my mystery novel, Searchable Whereabouts. Rahkel unravels the mysterious death of her beloved uncle. However, after his funeral, she finds clues into his life that has her thinking he was not the man she thought he was.

Not too many African American women write mystery novels. That's what I found out when I took on this novel about four years ago. I would have to say that it is also what inspired me to finish this book. I wrote it because I absolutely love watching mystery shows and movies.

My novel is available on Amazon.com and in bookstores. For a visual look into my novel, watch the book trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkC6oC_v5Yc.

"This is one of those book where you can get absorbed in the story not realizing several hours has passed - I didn't want to put the book down until I knew "whodunit." — Rahcel Laudiero, OldMustyBooks.com

"...a thriller with charm...there are life-stories to be told."
— Keith, editor of Unheardwords

"I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next. With all the twists and turns, I would have never guessed the ending. It had a really good plot and I fell in love with the characters."
—Knevits Stephens, Armchair Interviews

PULPIT CONFESSIONS
By Péron F. Long

The Church, once lifted to high expectations now labeled and placed in a jar of shame. As a result, today’s Spiritual Climate has taken on new meanings. Pulpit Confessions is a story of lies, sex, murder and family deceit, and one persons plot to gain total control. When Bishop Raymond Miller Jr.’s Pulpit Confessions are revealed all hell will break loose and not even the revered pastor will be able to stop it.

When writing Pulpit, not only did I set out to write an entertaining drama-filled book, my goal was to create awareness and a more in-depth understanding of the many different avenues of a Spiritual Journey.

As you read Pulpit Confessions, you will find that I give a prime example of what happens when The Eroticism of Zane meets the Spirituality of T.D. Jakes. Unlike many authors in the genre of Christian Fiction, I break all barriers and step out with no boundaries to create a thrilling tale giving the old saying “The Devil Made Me Do It," a brand new meaning.

ALL OR NOTHING
By Delorse A. Brown

COMING JUNE 2008!!

Dear Friends:

Imagine yourself being a young black teen-aged girl who looses both parents to a sudden tragic death. Now the only person you have left in your life to take care of you is your eighteen-year-old sister who soon turns to drugs, leaving you now feeling totally abandoned.

In search of some companionship, you turn to the streets hoping to gain back what you have lost; nevertheless, the only thing you find is an unfulfilled, disastrous lifestyle.

All or Nothing was written as a fiction novel; however, I wanted to bring reality to my adult readers. I would like for us, as adults, to pay attention to our young children when they are in need. We sometimes see the young children falling and feel just because they are not our blood, it is not our business or duty to step up and help them.

I have seen this happen time and time again in my community. I hope that after reading this novel, it will inspire us all to reach out to our daughters, sisters, sons and brothers, friends etc., and save them before their life decisions drives them into the wrong direction.

AN EXTRA ORDINARY AFFAIR
By Baba Evans Moore

COMING JUNE 2008!!

Baba Evans, an urban griot, once again tells a rewarding story of overcoming diversity to find love and happiness.

Leaning over the rail of the wooden pier, contemplating suicide, Siobhan’s bad experiences with the men in her life flashed before her. First, her handsome “mama’s boy” caved in to his mother’s dislike for her, terminating their storybook marriage. Dejected by his rejection and pregnant, she fled a world of glamour as a successful model in New York and relocated to Atlanta. There she met Edward, the one man who seemed to understand her pain. When he discovered she was dancing in Atlanta’s exotic clubs and earning money to make their life comfortable, he flipped out, ushered her out of Atlanta in the middle of the night, and took her to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Now, as the wind whipped warm raindrops across her face, she found inner strength enough to vow, “To hell with men. I can live without them.” An angel of mercy heard her cry. Unexpectedly, Richard, a self-made millionaire, saw more than her beautiful face and sexy body. He changed Siobhan’s outlook on life and she captured his heart.
