What if before she even arrives, she indicates that her new mission in life is to find you a husband? What if your very own mother wants to help her? These are the issues Sarah Renee Gale must grapple. Prior to Karen's return, Sarah was confident about her choices. From time to time, some well-meaning people continually harangued her about marriage, but she has managed to somehow always maneuver away from them with ease. Once Karen, her husband, and eight-year-old daughter arrive on the scene, Sarah realizes that she can no longer escape some of these annoying queries. People insist on comparing her to her childhood-wedded friend, Karen. Sarah steps up to the challenge and decides to go out on a couple of dates just to appease family and friends. The dates turn out to be hilarious or disastrous or both. And, along the way Sarah stumbles upon a very dark secret Karen's been hiding from everyone about her perfect marriage.

Fiction / Urban / Adventure About the book. Unbeknownst to Kinni Bragia, our Harlem born heroine, her entire life has been predestined by the likes of a bunch of old dead bones, those of her long ago buried but not forgotten superstitious ancestry. The roots of a Gambian tradition stretch some 60,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean to New York City in order to strangle the life right out of her. She will discover that womens rights and God given civil liberties are not a part of that tradition. Neither are the rights to pursue happiness nor justice for all. Culturally, what works in one land, cannot be readily understood by those raised elsewhere. What lengths will they go to in order to make Kinni submit? What horrors will she face at the hands of her very own family? What curses have been passed down through the generations and prepared especially for her? Will sheer will and determination be enough for her to survive? Kinni struggles to rise up from her family tree whose branches are deep, persistent and have been coiling themselves around her throat since birth.

About the book. This isn't exactly a love story though James DuBois a/k/a Jimmy is sincerely smitten with a beautiful, young, actress, named Clark Green. He enjoys their precious time together spent predominantly groping and fondling her while she sleeps, not to mention his routine intimidation of all her other boyfriends. He hates witnessing weaknesses in others and considers it his manifested destiny to push them around sending them scattering. Not to mention, watching them cower under his massive size and powerful prowess. Jimmy is basically a happy go lucky guy with just one tiny, little problem. Clark doesn't even know he's alive. That's mainly because he isn't. The New York City Police Department is on a man hunt for his killer. The case will be tied up in the legal system for several years while they fumble through a host of false leads, and tiresome witnesses all the while delving into the embarrassment called Jimmy's life. Meanwhile, Jimmy's come to terms with his current state of affairs by visiting old friends trying to persuade them to accompany him. Clark's his latest preoccupation. The question is; will his unholy love eventually kill her before he sees the light?
