The Forthcoming: Erica K. Barnes - I Ain't Saying' She's A Gold Digger

Erica K. Barnes
I Ain't Sayin' She's A Gold Digger

April 29, 2008

 

 

Kentia can't seem to meet her monetary needs. Since beauty and trickery are what she knows best, and she uses them as her golden ticket. Kentia drains money from the wallets of her current man, and when she's done with him, she moves on to the next. Kentia hustles her victims, not knowing that she's about to become a victim herself.

 

As a video vixen, Kirrah spends her time gold digging the hottest artists. Kirrah is on her A-game when it comes to looking good and getting up close and personal with her favorite rappers (and their wallets). What the foolish Kirrah doesn't know is that in this game, it's always better to play defense.

 

Broke college student Theori uses her good looks and perfect figure at Eye Candy, a strip club in Compton . She and her newfound best friend Inez start a new and original hustle that rewards them with a bigger profit than dancing. But if they aren't careful, the price might be someone's life.

 

What three young women believe is the easy way out, will be the life altering lesson that can make them or break them. I Ain't Sayin' She's A Gold Digger, but she ain't messing with no broke.

Black Widow
April 29, 2008

 

#1 bestselling author Nikki Turner returns with an explosive new novel about a woman at an emotional crossroads–and the men left in her wake.

 

Isis Tatum knows firsthand the way love can mess up a person. After all, she saw her mother drive a truck through the home of her father’s mistress before killing her dad. And ever since Isis was a teenager, her love life has been a series of disasters: Her first sweetheart was executed by the state of Virginia, and her next lover was sent to jail for murder. Now Isis is a successful jewelry designer, but she remains a failure with men. When she meets Logic, a Las Vegas high roller who treats her like a princess, Isis reckons she’s finally struck gold–literally. Logic sees to it that her custom pieces of jewelry are seen on the hottest rap stars and pro athletes.

But when this Mr. Right ends up in jail too, Isis starts to believe that she’s cursed, that she’s a true Black Widow. Always one to roll with the punches, she embraces her life and walks bravely down all its twisted paths, taking her business to unprecedented heights while letting the men who dare to get involved with her take their chances.

The Forthcoming: Vanessa Davis Griggs - Strongholds

Vanessa Davis Griggs

Strongholds

April 29, 2008

 

From Vanessa Davis Griggs comes the second book in her Blessed Trinity Trilogy. Part Terry McMillan, part Jan Karon, Griggs delivers the story of a congregation hoping for heaven—while dealing with life right here on earth…

 

 

When Pastor George Landris, the dreadlock-wearing minister of the new mega-church, Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center, urges his congregation to approach the altar and cast off their strongholds—also known as their weaknesses—it’s the start of intense soul-searching for many.

 

 

From a married couple’s twin addictions to gambling and gluttony, to a female member’s adulterous affair, a computer expert’s obsession with cyber-porn and a therapist’s workaholism, the Pastor’s church family is about to open the proverbial floodgates. And that’s just the beginning. There’s also the woman whose battle with mental illness hides a buried trauma, and the religious devotee who’s so busy fearing the devil she’s forgotten what faith is really about. The plot only thickens when the Pastor’s wife lightens his load by helping him counsel—and finds herself at the center of a decades-long deception.

 

 

Insightful, witty, and always poignant, Vanessa Davis Griggs delivers another compelling novel, taking readers behind the scenes of mega-churches, and showing the amazing power that redemption and faith can have on people’s lives.

April 22, 2008

 

You've heard the stories of women throwing in the towel after learning their men are on the down low . You, Me, and He takes a look at what happens when the women choose to stay while dealing with issues of trust, honesty, disease and the betrayal of those closest to them.

Fearful of starting a new relationship in the age of the down low man, Donna feels it is the smart thing to do. In her eyes, there is no guessing about Keith's sexuality, she knows exactly who and what he is.

Keith Reed is the kind of man most women dream of marrying. And, he has found the perfect woman in Donna who is willing to stay with him despite his sexuality.

To top it off, he must contend with Jarrod, his former college roommate, who is relentless in attaining his goal of having Keith to himself.
Jarrod is a successful lawyer, who, in spite of being married with a baby on the way, is consumed with pursuing Keith.
