Unfortunately, there weren’t many fantasy books with a POC protagonist.

Instead, a security checkpoint became her gateway to hell when she was arrested for mistakenly carrying under one gram of medically prescribed hash oil. Brittney’s world was violently upended in a crisis she has never spoken in detail about publicly—until now.<br /><br />In Coming Home, Brittney finally shares the harrowing details of her sudden arrest days before Russia invaded Ukraine; her bewilderment and isolation while navigating a foreign legal system amid her trial and sentencing; her emotional and physical anguish as the first American woman ever to endure a Russian penal colony while the #WeAreBG movement rallied for her release; the chilling prisoner swap with Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout; and her remarkable rise from hostage to global spokesperson on behalf of America’s forgotten. In haunting and vivid detail, Brittney takes readers inside the horrors of a geopolitical nightmare spanning ten months. <br /><br />And yet Coming Home is more than Brittney’s journey from captivity to freedom. In an account as gripping as it is poignant, she shares how her deep love for Cherelle, her college sweetheart and wife of six years, anchored her during their greatest storm; how her family’s support pulled her back from the brink; and how hundreds of letters from friends and neighbors lent her resolve to keep fighting. Coming Home is both a story of survival and a testament to love—the bonds that brought Brittney home to her family, and at last, to herself.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p>Brandiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04765545110791274127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718751862347044058.post-85135312703599028032024-02-11T17:53:00.000-08:002024-02-11T17:53:06.468-08:00Stupid For A Thug Called Cupid by Nika Mitchell <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Are they flooding the block or watching how the stock market moves? Are they vicious killers or peaceful brothas simply trying to run it up. AJ, Aaron, Lurch, and Jay always ignored the questions, knowing that truthfully, they fell somewhere in between every assumption made about them.

Despite the changing faces, these young men weren’t half-stepping on anything that they showed of themselves, and they remained absolutely merciless to protect their rep, whether in the boardroom or the streets. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: white;">The older Martin and Baptiste men trained them long ago to eat or become food and prepared them for any setting or problem.

With their freedom, businesses, family, and loves of their lives potentially in peril, will the allegiance from all in their crew persist?</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>Brandiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04765545110791274127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718751862347044058.post-82459165655996785942023-12-16T06:47:00.000-08:002023-12-16T06:48:07.208-08:00VISION'S THROUGH MY MIND BY NICOLE SNIPES<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQmqfisxvKdjGrqlLf_8naUdIxdtAqW4rLn4d6YCZPkljhGcsbz0LbeDvepsjc0m2XJKxWQMrsyz6GxyzekJBU52gEpKbZaJ1wmdzd56K9d1PZ8sCOu-IOmSzE4zXKVJhUoDrPY0ADmviGOLVGYhQxWDQKn7L3B1WxcpqG35Apdyw3oZrx-9AZJy-34Hw/s500/51DG80Xx-sL.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="333" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQmqfisxvKdjGrqlLf_8naUdIxdtAqW4rLn4d6YCZPkljhGcsbz0LbeDvepsjc0m2XJKxWQMrsyz6GxyzekJBU52gEpKbZaJ1wmdzd56K9d1PZ8sCOu-IOmSzE4zXKVJhUoDrPY0ADmviGOLVGYhQxWDQKn7L3B1WxcpqG35Apdyw3oZrx-9AZJy-34Hw/w266-h400/51DG80Xx-sL.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">AVAILABLE ON AMAZON</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">A collection of Short Stories from many different Genres.

Let's admit it, as women, we have all made the mistake of loving a man more than he loves us. We have gone to great extents to please these men, haven't we?</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">Now, let's meet Essence, a young woman deeply in love but incredibly frustrated with her husband Ahmad's behavior. She knew she deserved better and that she was far superior to him. However, despite her instincts and her mother's advice, she foolishly put all her trust in her disappointing husband, ignoring the reality of the situation.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">But here's the harsh truth: Ahmad couldn't remain faithful. Even though he claimed to love Essence, he continued to cheat on her without any intention of stopping. He idiotically believed that the grass was greener on the other side, involving himself with a stripper named Fantasy and impregnating her. Fed up with the lies, mind games, and other women, Essence finally reaches her breaking point. She refuses to tolerate such blatant disrespect from a man who promised to love, honor, and respect her.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">This story delves into Essence's powerful act of revenge. She has had enough and she's ready to take action.

From the little girl racing to book fairs and libraries, to the adult sitting at a desk penning a novel, Naimah Robinson is an example of child sees, child reads. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="caret-color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;"><span style="color: white;"><b>MY URBAN BOOKS:</b> Tell us about your reading ventures as a child.</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEKEf5q-7nOG4Tvd3Ce1WqvC-OhLB5lR3FVYKt8GINE1XJZjDHQ3tjEE6RHvITOdSICmKxD_PJAy_3OY4u-O9t5W1ZN1bzdQ-zMb_A45VA9rMoIWjzKBmvr5HRNGjA9dEyRQGfAxhOQ6MImrH_4aec3ywz-gepe2r4qUNsp1jnA0Os1zBJI9uA1RK2Cgo/s500/51yq4KanaQL.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: white;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="323" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEKEf5q-7nOG4Tvd3Ce1WqvC-OhLB5lR3FVYKt8GINE1XJZjDHQ3tjEE6RHvITOdSICmKxD_PJAy_3OY4u-O9t5W1ZN1bzdQ-zMb_A45VA9rMoIWjzKBmvr5HRNGjA9dEyRQGfAxhOQ6MImrH_4aec3ywz-gepe2r4qUNsp1jnA0Os1zBJI9uA1RK2Cgo/s320/51yq4KanaQL.jpg" width="207" /></span></a></div><div class="x_gmail-x6prxxf x_gmail-x1fc57z9 x_gmail-x1yc453h x_gmail-x126k92a x_gmail-xzsf02u" dir="auto" role="none" style="border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: white;"><span><b>NAIMAH </b></span><b>ELISE </b><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">ROBINSON:</b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">As a child, I loved joining book clubs at my school. I raced other kids in my class to sign out books at the library often. Back in the day, it was something to see your name on the card signing books out along with others. That was so exciting to me. I'd take so many books home daily that I would get into trouble for ripping my backpack carrying them. I got enough books to last one week and loved getting lost in the world they took me to, whether it was a Judy Blume book, the Babysitters Club series, or books that went on to become movie adaptations like My Girl. I learned to develop my own descriptive way of writing through books like these that made readers feel present and a part of the story. Once my reading aptitude and comprehension were pretty good, I moved on to autobiographies on prominent African Americans and tried reading non fiction more in late elementary school/early middle school. </span></span></div><div class="x_gmail-x6prxxf x_gmail-x1fc57z9 x_gmail-x1yc453h x_gmail-x126k92a x_gmail-xzsf02u" dir="auto" role="none" style="border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="x_gmail-x6prxxf x_gmail-x1fc57z9 x_gmail-x1yc453h x_gmail-x126k92a x_gmail-xzsf02u" dir="auto" role="none" style="border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;"><b>MY URBAN BOOKS:</b> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">Are there any other writers in your family?

My family's reading is what affected my writing. Once I was old enough to understand the content, I picked up my grandmother's Terry McMillan books, along with Bebe Campbell Moore, Mary Monroe, Eric Jerome Dickey, E. Lynn Harris, and the list goes on. It made me want to write our stories from our views and imagination, too.</span></span></div><div class="x_gmail-x6prxxf x_gmail-x1fc57z9 x_gmail-x1yc453h x_gmail-x126k92a x_gmail-xzsf02u" dir="auto" role="none" style="border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div class="x_gmail-x6prxxf x_gmail-x1fc57z9 x_gmail-x1yc453h x_gmail-x126k92a x_gmail-xzsf02u" dir="auto" role="none" style="border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: white;"><b>MY URBAN BOOKS:</b> <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">Who are you outside of writing?</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;"> </span></span></div><div class="x_gmail-x6prxxf x_gmail-x1fc57z9 x_gmail-x1yc453h x_gmail-x126k92a x_gmail-xzsf02u" dir="auto" role="none" style="border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: white;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span></div><div class="x_gmail-x6prxxf x_gmail-x1fc57z9 x_gmail-x1yc453h x_gmail-x126k92a x_gmail-xzsf02u" dir="auto" role="none" style="border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: white;"><span><b>NAIMAH </b></span><b>ELISE </b><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">ROBINSON:</b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;"> I am a very fun loving, goal oriented, and constantly evolving Black woman.

I love the characters that I create. Whether good or bad, they have a perspective and a story. Sometimes, it takes a little longer to tell it all, and I like being able to develop the series so that a reader gets the full view.

He lives by the motto F.B.G.M, That is, until he crosses paths with Princess Campbell.<br /><br />Princess, far from a goody-two-shoes, like some love to call her. She grew up with a registered nurse for a mother and a father who owns a construction company, leaving her often misunderstood by those around her. She keeps her distance from most, except her closest friends.<br /><br />When Thuggah sets his sights on her, he's determined to make her his own. However, Princess, with her guarded demeanor, remains unimpressed. With their shared neighborhood and mutual friends, temptation lurks around every corner. But as they dive deeper into each other's lives, they discover that beneath the surface, their glittering worlds are filled with unforeseen drama.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p>Brandiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04765545110791274127noreply@blogger.com0
