In Love with a Younger Man by
Cheryl Robinson
At
forty-three years old, Oleana Day feels restless. She just needs change, and a
direction. She’s found it in Matthew Harper. He’s smart, financially stable,
drop-dead sexy, and has no baggage.
There’s just one problem—he’s 18 years younger,
and he’s full of surprises. But what unfolds between them is something neither
would have guessed—an unexpected romance about coming to terms, coming of age,
and fighting for the love of your life. What do you do when you think you've
married the wrong person?

The Education Of Black Dickey by Kenneth Wayne Bowen
The title was an interesting attention grabber, I was curious to see what story would evolve from it. The primary character is Kayin, a naïve twenty-one year old college student in Oklahoma. Kayin, has never been exposed to the many negatives of the streets, he has career plans and a positive outlook on life. His misgivings are about how Blacks in Oklahoma never had a meaningful relationship with whites; they seem to remain on the outskirts of their insulated society.

Samson by Jacqueline Thomas
Samson Taylor has accepted his calling into the ministry and installed as the assistant pastor at his uncle’s church. He comes from a long line of ministers, including his father. His parents were tragically killed when he was young and Samson will never forget the argument that led to their deaths. His dad was a philanderer and his mother had taken all that she could stand. Samson loves women and has dated several throughout his teen and college years. His reputation as a ruthless player far surpasses him and he prays his lust will be an area that he will be able to suppress as a pastor. 

Unbeweaveable by Katrina Spencer
Mariah Stevens has spent most of her career as a book reviewer for Spirit Magazine. The magazine is on a serious decline in sponsorships and advertisements, and the executives are threatening to close it down unless things change quickly. The problem is Mariah doesn’t believe anything will happen with the magazine as she plans to move up to editor-at-large, taking over the coveted position from the soon to retire Jasmine. 

The Exorsistah by Claudia Mair Burney
Soon, Emme Vaughn will turn eighteen and will finally be on her own. No more depending on others for the basics of life, only to be let down. But, until then, she is a ward of the state and in the foster care system. Her friend, Kiki, is providing her with shelter and food. That is, until Kiki’s husband gets other ideas about the arrangement with a little help from a presence only Emme can see. All Emme’s spiritual upbringing and gifts kick into high gear. Unfortunately, she finds herself homeless and hungry in an all-night Walgreens. 

Sweetwater Sinners by P. L. Wilson
SWEETWATER SINNERS takes the reader on a tumultuous journey of trickery, deception, lies and back-stabbing within the esteemed Goodlove family. Theola Goodlove, the renowned First Lady of Sweetwater PG Church, seemingly lives a double life and wears many hats -- not all in the name of the Lord. Will she ultimately reap what she sows? Will her sins come to light? 

Huddle With Me Tonight by Farrah Rochon
HUDDLE WITH ME TONIGHT takes us on a blissful ride of what we all wish real love could be. It's the stuff fairy tales are made of; man meets woman, man and woman fall in love, destined for happily ever after, right. When book critic, Paige Turner, writes a horrific review of NFL's Torrian Smallwood's new book, she never expects her book review to be life-changing.
