My Two Sons tells the life story of Sadie Holmes and her family. Sadie is a young woman from “The Richard Allen” projects in Philadelphia, PA. She meets and marries the love of her life, Booker Holmes. They are excited to have their first child, but to their surprise, the doctor discovers there are two heartbeats, not one. Sadie is having twins. The feeling of excitement and nervousness embraces her as she welcomes her fraternal twin sons into the world. They are the first twins in the family, and their personalities are as far apart as the east is from the west.

Vincent is sweet spirited, ambitious, and college driven. His life’s journey is always upward, excelling, and reaching new heights. He is a trailblazer, and breaks barriers by becoming a college graduate, lawyer, and first black man to become “The Attorney General” of Missouri. He is a son every parent dream of.

His brother Victor is high spirited, makes daredevil moves, and falls into the street life. His life is headed downward. He knows his family wants nothing but the best for him, but he rejects it. He abandons his family for the streets. The lifestyle of a gangster consumes him. His participation in unlawful crimes gets him a twenty-year prison sentence.

One son gives Sadie tears of joy, and the other one, tears of sorrow. Despite their differences, Sadie loves them both unconditionally.

She suffers from disappointments, losses, and challenges, but they do not tear her down. She finds strength through it all until she is hit with an unexpected turn of event without advance warning. She is betrayed by her one of her sons, but Sadie is learning that sometimes, it is the dramatic turn of events in our lives that leads us in the direction that were always meant for us.

Find out what happens to the Holmes family in this amazing story about a Mother’s selfless, endless, unconditional love for her sons.

When you are done you get $100,000.” Before you answer this question, you might want to read this book.

Dalton

The thing about love…

It’s kind & beautiful, soft & hard, forgiving & emotional, but love can also be blind. Love can twist and turn you into someone unrecognizable.

That’s the way it was for Josie and me. She became my everything. I fell heart over mind, allowing her to take the only thing that I could call my own. The life I envisioned for us was blurred by secrets, hard to overcome. She made me question whether what we had was based on truth or a lie.

Joselyn

Dalton was an obstacle in the way of what I’d always shied away from, and the only way to reach my end was through him. So, I made a choice to get close to him, even when I shouldn’t have. We were never meant to be what we became. I didn’t intend for something forced to turn into something real. In the end, Dalton was so much more than just a means to an end. He held the key to everything, including my heart. It was his to have, to hold, to break, and to mend.

That’s the thing about love…
It can’t be forced. It just happens, and once it’s in motion, it’s impossible to stop.

From Cowgirl to Congress is an eyewitness account of Jessie Haver Butler, a suffragist on the front lines of the women’s movement.

Jessie escaped a childhood of unthinkable tragedies on a Colorado cattle ranch to attend Smith College, which propelled her into the center of the fight for the rights of women. Inspired by meeting Susan B. Anthony at age ten, she later worked side by side with Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt.

When women won the right to vote on August 18, 1920, Jessie became the first official woman lobbyist at the Capitol in Washington, DC. She also helped establish the Pulitzer School of Journalism and set the first minimum wage for women. She went on to live in London, where she shared the podium with George Bernard Shaw, attended parties with Emily Pankhurst, influenced the queen, and met her lifelong friend Lady Astor.

Jessie later taught women the art of public speaking. She wrote Time to Speak Up and lectured alongside such notables as Eleanor Roosevelt, Gloria Steinem, and Marlo Thomas. She spoke out for women’s rights throughout her life and well into her nineties.

This timely memoir takes us back to the suffrage movement and beyond and includes unpublished letters from historical figures, as well as never-before-seen photographs. Jessie Haver Butler was an extraordinary woman, who lived her life with a spirit of adventure and open-mindedness. She was a mother, wife, and active community member, and her story weaves these threads together to complete her compelling journey—from cowgirl to Congress.

What if…

What if a world existed where ancient civilizations still thrived?

What if prehistoric creatures roamed the land freely side by side with warriors from an age long past?

What if a there was a place where people with unusual gifts lived in harmony and acceptance?

What if aliens who wielded vast power were trying to save humanity?

What if ancient advanced beings were responsible for the beginning of life on Earth?

What kind of world would that be?

From the time he was a young boy Jon Rayneksson knew he was different. A boy who could speak to spirits and animals was not something normal, even for the world in which he lived. All of his life, he was trained to harness gifts that he never asked for and often did not want.

Now he travels far from home on a quest that began as the simple escort of a Sabretooth to a faraway land.

Once his journey began, it became far more complex. Now Jon Rayneksson is an agent of the mysterious Lady of the Lands, an artificial life-form who reluctantly portrays herself as God.

As he moves through the lands he, and his newfound companions begin to realize that they are mere pawns in a game of secrets and intrigue played by unfathomable cosmic entities.

MYK: PRINCE OF THE VENDS

A great historical saga (726 pages) that took ten years to research and write. The novel is based in 2^nd Century middle Europe and has powerful male/female adult and teenage characters.

In an era where “White Privilege” is blamed for Caucasian success in America, it is time for us to review where we came from and the huge obstacles that faced our ancestors. Today if we have beautiful children we consider that a blessing, but 1,000 years ago beautiful children were at extreme risk for being taken into slavery or abused by over lords. Our ancestors faced; slavery, serfdom, starvation, severe weather, invasions, disease and abuse from their lords and masters, yet they established some of the greatest cultures ever know on this Earth.

Here’s what professional book reviewer, Chris Fisher from READER’S CHOICE has to say about the novel. “I loved this book! Loved it! I will admit the size of it originally intimidated me, as it might some readers, but don’t let it! Myk: Prince of the Vends is a masterful piece of historical fiction that is full of action, adventure and excitement.” An author can’t get a much better (unsolicited or not paid for) review than  from a professional.

The novel also makes a great gift for young adults/teenagers to get them reading again. It’s one of those books when you put it down you cannot wait to pick it up again and follow your favorite characters.

Mature Reader warning: This book contains a lot of panty-dropping sexiness! There is raw sexual language (aka dirty talk), a little violence, and tons of heat! It is intended for readers 18+ and fans of the naughty stuff.

This Day in Comedy is not just an encyclopedia, but a celebration of comedy. In humorous prose the book takes readers through the often-neglected subcultures of comedy in America, acknowledging the inclusiveness of the performers as well as shows and films that made this art form so vital to comics of all backgrounds. It’s artistically criminal that a search for Native American or Asian comedy information yields a virtually blank slate. Look for Middle Eastern comics and you’ll be provided information on the region’s comic book revolution, and search results for Latin comedy are confined to a series of outdated articles. This encyclopedia will offer rare and in some cases never-before-seen photos and obscure facts, making it an indispensable comedy essential.

The sequel to Bait and Switch. Spring 1945:  though WWII is crashing to a close, Jessica and Elizabeth Minton’s hopes for the future are short-lived as they become entrapped in a noir world of intrigue and murder.  Jessica’s beloved is missing in action in Europe, so she’s on her own to save herself and those she cares about from a dark past entangling them with false identities, jewel theft, betrayal, and murder.  Finding truth and justice grows even more difficult, as Jess and Liz must contend with a predatory femme fatale seeking stolen jade and revenge, two suspicious police detectives, and an F.B.I. man from Jessica’s past with secrets of his own.  Join Jessica and Liz as they must skate on the left side of the law to restore a friend’s family honor, save a loved one from a deadly frame, and still manage not to get themselves killed! It’s enough to make Dusty the cat’s fur stand on end!

A suspense romance, it is sure to hold the interest of readers who like both genres. Those who have read “When Shadows Linger,” will recognize some of the characters in “The Primrose Garden.”

Dallas private eye Ed Earl Burch is an emotional wreck, living on the edge of madness, hosing down the nightmares of his last case with bourbon and Percodan, dreading the next onslaught of demons that haunt his days and nights, including a one-eyed dead man who still wants to carve out his heart and eat it.

Burch is also a walking contradiction. Steady and relentless when working a case. Tormented and unbalanced when idle. He’s deeply in debt to a shyster lawyer who forces him to take the type of case he loathes — divorce work, peephole creeping to get dirt on a wayward husband.

Work with no honor. Work that reminds him of how far he’s fallen since he lost the gold shield of a Dallas homicide detective. Work in the stark, harsh badlands of West Texas, the border country where he almost got killed and his nightmares began.

What he longs for is the clarity and sense of purpose he had when he carried that gold shield and chased killers for a living. The adrenaline spike of the showdown. Smoke ‘em or cuff ‘em. Justice served — by his .45 or a judge and jury.

When a rich rancher and war hero is killed in a suspicious barn fire, the rancher’s outlaw cousin hires Burch to investigate a death the county sheriff is reluctant to touch.

Seems a lot of folks had reason for wanting the rancher dead — the local narco who has the sheriff on his payroll; some ruthless Houston developers who want the rancher’s land; maybe his own daughter. Maybe the outlaw cousin who hired Burch.

Thrilled to be a manhunter again, Burch ignores these red flags, forgetting something he once knew by heart.

Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it. And it might just get you killed.

But it’s the best lousy choice Ed Earl Burch is ever going to get.

Jim Nesbitt is the author of three award-winning, hard-boiled crime thrillers featuring battered but relentless Dallas PI Ed Earl Burch — THE LAST SECOND CHANCE, THE RIGHT WRONG NUMBER and THE BEST LOUSY CHOICE. THE BEST LOUSY CHOICE won a gold medal for best crime fiction in the 2020 Independent Press Awards and a bronze medal in the best mystery/thriller e-book category of the Independent Publisher Book Awards.

Hildy Ragnarsdottir, American PhD student, reckons historical re-enactment can go too far.  The English Warband has taken over Melchester Castle with swords and shields, and their leader Lord Magnus just forced her into an iron collar and told her she’s his slave.  She is not going to submit to a man who spanked her into obeying, even if he is smoking hot, courageous and sophisticated.  Absolutely not.

In two volumes.  In segregated Tennessee in the nineteen-fifties six free souls find themselves transgressing the rigid social boundaries that still survive the old South.

A teen-age farm boy is fascinated by a letter stolen from a black sharecropper girl asking help from Martin Luther King. He conceals it from his father and his life is forever changed.

The aging owner of a mountain cabin finds a temporary substitute for his deceased wife, as well as a make-believe grandchild despite their racial difference. He feels like a family man again while he and his new love wait to join their spouses in Heaven.

A rich valley boy whose life is fully planned by his father is spellbound by a poor mountain girl who talks like she’s from the 1800’s and can never fit into his father’s plan—and it turns out he doesn’t it into her father’s plan either. But the plans of the fathers are contested by boundless love and courage (and the boy’s ability to take a beating and keep on coming).­

Relationships evolve and intertwine as characters struggle with desire vs. fear. Secret meetings and lies abound—not for the first time in the American South—for the enforcement of custom is harsh and sometimes unrestrained. The mountain cabin offers a temporary haven but no safety elsewhere. Violence and disaster await only a simple misstep, a chance encounter, a wrong guess, as the old South flashes its unspent fury and love demonstrates its eternal claim on human hearts.

We are a strange breed of animal, running around glued to our screens and social medias. We hardly notice anything real anymore. Our friends are a number on a webpage, and the only way that we know if someone is into us, is if they like our post, photo or status. We’ve become digital. Emotional wrecks of capital letters and emojis. We live and breathe for notifications.

Our knowledge comes from Google, not experience. Our rebellions and resistances happen on webpages. We fight people that we don’t even know.

Relationships are a battlefield for the loyal and good-hearted. We care more about pouty lips and bulging abs than we do about homeless veterans, wars, freedom, and morality. We’d rather make fun of you, than have fun with you. We’d rather tear you down than to let others see our own weaknesses. We’d rather hate, than love.

This book is a collaboration of my social/humor blog.
