Pages : 239
Book Description
A piercing, unforgettable love story set in Greenwood, Oklahoma, also known as the “Black Wall Street,” and against the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. Isaiah Wilson is, on the surface, a town troublemaker, but is hiding that he is an avid reader and secret poet, never leaving home without his journal. Angel Hill is a loner, mostly disregarded by her peers as a goody-goody. Her father is dying, and her family’s financial situation is in turmoil. Though they’ve attended the same schools, Isaiah never noticed Angel as anything but a dorky, Bible toting church girl. Then their English teacher offers them a job on her mobile library, a three-wheel, two-seater bike. Angel can’t turn down the money and Isaiah is soon eager to be in such close quarters with Angel every afternoon. But life changes on May 31, 1921 when a vicious white mob storms the Black community of Greenwood, leaving the town destroyed and thousands of residents displaced. Only then, Isaiah, Angel, and their peers realize who their real enemies are.

Book Description
Have you wondered about unusual experiences you've had and thought they may have been a communication from a loved one or friend who crossed over? If so this is a story for you. It can be in your dreams, sudden thoughts, voices in your head, wispy images, feathery touches, items in your home moved, and answers to a mentally asked question or utterance. This is a true story of an ordinary man's extraordinary and supernatural experiences. It clearly shows our loved ones are our guardian angels, and they want us to know they are alright and the spiritual realm is "heavenly." With us always, they try to guide our thoughts and actions in a positive manner. There is also God and His angel messengers waiting to speak to us and silently guide us on the path God has for His children. The Bible says, "Ask and you shall receive." In truth, that's all that needs to be done; but you have to ask, believe, have faith and listen. The problem is, many pray but do not truly listen... and as well, do not ask for all that is available. Follow the guide within and learn to communicate with your angels.

There they search for the lost Temple, the key to Gemma's mission, and comfort Pippa, their friend who has been left behind in the Realms. After these visits they bring back magical power for a short time to use in their own world. Meanwhile, Gemma is torn between her attraction to the exotic Kartik, the messenger from the opposing forces of the Rakshana, and the handsome but clueless Simon, a young man of good family who is courting her.

Book Description
This is the iliad of Gabriel Craddock, a slave boy held in bondage to the Osage Indians, and his battles to save Kansas from the Missouri slavers, General Sterling Price and Roman Nose the Dog Soldier. I am Michael Craddock, white man and brother to Gabriel. As boys we fought together at the Swans' Marsh and we were at Lawrence with Momma, when Quantrill came through with the Bad Angel in his heart. But we hid that day rather than be killed. At Westport and Mine Creek we saw ten-thousand cavalry swinging sabers and carbines stirrup-to-stirrup out there on the prairie. Gabriel was with the 2nd Kansas Colored Volunteers when General Sterling Price gave no quarter to the Negro, and the black soldiers took the vengeance in the mud at Jenkins Ferry. And when Roman Nose trapped the Solomon Avengers in the dry fork of the Arikaree, Gabriel and the Buffalo Soldiers came for us. This odyssey will be not be complete until I come to Nicodemus, Kansas, to atone for a terrible sin and face a mystery I was too coward to solve for much of my life. The Bad Angel came into my heart on cat's feet and I fear for my immortal soul.
