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.

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.
