Keisha Heart wants a real marriage to a man passionate, who talks, but she is unsure if she is lovable enough to get him. Now when Keisha sang, she realized the toils and dangers of John Newton. He saw the suffering he wrote about. It was no theoretical songs. He was there in a way no person today can understand. Today's educators are renaming African-slaves, of the slave trade, "immigrant workers" as if they volunteered to travel to America in chains, squalor, as if women volunteered to be raped, men and women being starved, as if to obtain some economic opportunity. The song Amazing Grace showed how the slaves wanted to jump to the sharks following slave ships in the choppy Atlantic waters below. In compared to John Newton's problems, her problems were slight ripples. Worrying about how do I get there--married? Worrying, am I really a grownup unless I get and keep a man? Worrying why I keep myself fine looking and my hair straightened and done in this cute-girl-flip style. I don't have any real problems. I have a home and roof over my head, a decent middle-class job, two good children, and we eat three meals a day. I have good friends and associations. What am I complaining for? Fight off the negative vibes of the media and anyone else around you, Keisha girl! [more]

The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man by James Weldon Johnson is the fictional telling of the story of a young biracial man, referred to only as the “Ex-Colored Man", living in post Reconstruction era America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The Ex-Colored Man was forced to choose between embracing his black heritage and culture by expressing himself through the African-American musical genre ragtime, or by “passing” and living obscurely as a mediocre middle-class white man. The Ex-Colored man living in an all black community discovered three classes of blacks; the desperate class, the domestic service class, and the independent workman. Johnson originally wrote The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man anonymously in 1912 by the small New York publisher Sherman, French, and Company. Brandon's decision to publish the novel anonymously stemmed in part from his sense that signing his name to a potentially controversial book might damage his diplomatic career. [more]

In the year 1988, black private detective Ellis Mason finds himself swept into a wave of big time trouble. What started as a routine case of tailing an ex-con's wayward girlfriend turns into something much more sinister. When the girl friend is murdered, and the ex-con is charged, Ellis reluctantly sets out to clear him. Ellis soon finds himself investigating a young and sexy executive secretary that's having an affair with a married congressman running for re-election, and is living far beyond her means. He creates an uneasy alliance with Brad Royce, the son of the owner of a top flight detective agency. Ellis targets Andrea Newsome, a clever and alluring political consultant that knows a lot more about shady business deals and political corruption than she'll ever admit. Ellis and Royce must sniff out the right clues, and dodge the last bullets before the case is solved. 88 Ways to Die is a complex case, steamy sexuality, and sudden violence that brings things to a boil.

Victor Nance is a Vice Squad cop working out of Gary Indiana. Shana Gordon is from Chicago and a part of the Juvenile Division. Henry Clayton is an ex-New York cop turned chief of police of a small Alabama town. Ordinarily, there would be nothing to bring these three law enforcement officers together. But Chief Clayton is facing a major crisis. One of his undercover officers was most likely murdered by a dangerous and wily up and coming drug dealer, T.J Killerbrew. With no evidence to prove murder, Chief Clayton wants to take Killerbrew down for anything that would put him behind bars. He’s willing to recruit special assignment talent to get the job done. Nance and Shana will ultimately accept the challenge. Their plan of attack is simple. Make a small buy, and then follow up with a larger one. Still, complications abound, including Shana’s ambitious, prone to make mistakes personality ; Nance’s crumbling marriage and growing attraction to Shana. Killerbrew’s murderous nature, and penchant for sniffing out undercover cops can be added to the mix. For Nance and Shana it boils down to a tense game of cat and mouse in which one slip of the tongue, or false move could have deadly consequences. [more]
