Book Description
Dr. Jasmin "Jazz" Sculark takes readers through an exploration of scripture and real life application of her analysis to bring them to a more enlightened approach to their own lives. She uses topics ranging from readers finding themselves in the midst of grief, to improving their respective situations beyond the simplest of challenges like credit card debt, as well as the more complex challenges like attempting to move past the restrictions and limitations that others place on them in life. Readers are afforded the opportunity to test themselves with mini workbooks, which are strategically placed throughout the book. Readers are, in this way, invited to try out some of the advice that Dr. Jazz imparts throughout her prose, and they are, in a similar way, invited to explore themselves a bit further, always reflective of the lesson detailed in the chapter.The book is a deep but, at times, light-hearted read. Dr. Jazz is frank in her analysis of herself, allowing for a heightened sense of empathy with her readers. She remains firm but encouraging in her voice throughout the book, and readers should have a concrete take away once they complete their literary journey with her.

In the first part of The Forbidden Trilogy, Gabriella and Jonathan Love had life made. After losing their parents to an "accident," their uncle Eddie took them under his wing, teaching them everything they needed to know about surviving in this cruel world. Neither one of them ever expected that they'd have to do things a little differently after Gabby's childhood best friend and boyfriend is killed right before her eyes in an unexpected home invasion in their home in Tampa, ripping their lives apart. Now feeling hopeless and alone, the family desperately tries to mend itself back together. Except for Gabby, that's a little easier than done. After months of dysfunction, Eddie has no choice but to go through drastic measures to ensure his niece's well-being. Gabby's best friend, Sara, steps up, moving across the country with her and Jon to a small town in Northern California, far away from the unbearable memories of the life that she so desperately wanted to have back. What nobody could have anticipated was that right there in that small town was a coven of vampires who had been waiting years to save her. Now being faced by the sexy mysterious red-eyed man Benjamin Row, Gabby is forced to make a forever life-changing decision that would alter the lives of all of them. Besides giving up her mortality, Gabby is also faced with the everyday bumps in the road that only make her decision easier.

Man of Few Words
Author: Fabian M.C. Kuykendall
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1453507167
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
Man of Few Words is my story. It reads like a journal that chronicles my life. It’s a compilation of poems, songs, essays, short stories, and thoughts derived from experiences both direct and indirect, fiction and nonfiction. This book is my truth, my autobiography, words that are written on the pages of me. The irony of the title is not to be lost on the reader; though I’m a man of few words, I have so much to say. I discovered a passion for poetry at the age of fourteen. During this period, I was going through a lot of changes in my life. I had just moved with my grandma to what was a spiritually binding neighborhood and I was just beginning high school. As I felt my childhood was over, I quickly fell into a depression and subsequently dropped out of school. I was confused and overwhelmed by emotions that I’d never felt before. Feeling the need to express myself, I was fatefully inspired to write. I began writing what I call “albums” of conceptual compositions, collections of poems that would later become the chapters of my book. While I didn’t use my entire catalogue for this book, I chose the compositions that I feel best represent my artistic vision. These poems are listed in chronological order, revealing my journey and evolution of words. This book was inspired by my irrepressible need for creative expression. I always thought that I’d write a book somewhere down the line, but that somewhere became here and that here became now. It’s amazing how your destiny has a way of claiming you before you realize your destiny. I used to dream of being a music producer, and I thought that because I dreamed it, this was what I was supposed to be. But my dreams were interrupted when my true calling chose me. Writing became a passion of mine because it allowed me to fully and fearlessly represent myself. Anything I want to be or say can be done with the boundlessness of artistic freedom. I am free to be an artist as I paint images with words. In many ways, writing communicates a message more clearly and profoundly than spoken language. When someone is reading your written word, they are forced to listen and actually hear what you have to say. I believe that the hardships I went through as a teenager was for this purpose, to write these words that tell my story. It might even seem like a gift from depression, but I believe that my calling is a gift from God. For this reason, it is my obligation to share my gift. I just might inspire someone else to write as they read my story and find the motivation to tell their own. My goal, through my words, is to be the impetus that provides people with a deeper respect for the craft. What I hope to accomplish with this book is to have people gain a more profound understanding of me. I believe that I have a lot to offer through my words for those who are interested and willing to listen. To many people, I’m a man of few words because I don’t often reveal myself through my personality or my existence. What I want these and other people to know is that there’s more to me; I’m not just one-dimensional. I’m a host of imperfections and contradictions with a multifaceted depth. I encourage you to learn me, to read my words and not my silence.

Book Description
Life would never again be the same for the O'Kelleher family, after the conquering of Ireland by the English butcher, Sir Oliver Cromwell, (circa1649), and the brutal consequences of his occupation. These British barbarians, who after murdering several of the O'Kelleher family, sent the remaining O'Kelleher brothers and sisters, together with some 80,000 Irish intellectuals, to the British West Indies as slaves. Then, 'Devine Providence' or fate intervened, as it sometimes does, and after an enemy of the British, sank the slave ship, the O'Kelleher's were on, they managed to find refuge on a Dutch held island. After serving five years in the Dutch navy as commandos, an opportunity presented itself, and the O'Kelleher brothers returned to Ireland, seeking their revenge on Oliver Cromwell's butchering army. As he stepped onto the shores of Ireland, Lawrence O'Kelleher, clan chieftain of the O'Kellehers', shouted, "Tis not us, but ye', who should be cowering, for we come like thieves in the night, seeking our revenge." The 'troubles' were never ending. They are like a sore, whose scab, continues to bleed, after being picked at. "They would never heal, and they never have!"

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
A defiant young white woman embarks upon a mystical journey through greed, racism and intolerance to find that in a previous lifetime she was a black slave girl. Caught in the midst of a spiritual metamorphosis she is hardly aware of, Norah is torn between two worlds: the one she expects and the one she suspects. She marries a scientist who scoff s at her peculiar feelings in just the way that science can. While Norah attempts to suppress what her spirit is trying to teach her, angels appear and challenge her to look deeper within for the elusive truth. She is a reckless and undisciplined young white woman, desperate for answers to questions she is only now learning and daring to ask. For reasons she barely understands, she finds herself drawn to a wise metaphysician. Norah becomes his student and, through his illuminations, begins to feel her mystical consciousness break free and birth. As her grasp of the world around her is refined, she turns to her West Indian friends, who for Norah become the creation that slavery left behind. Told from multiple characters points of view and in the first person, Norahs unconventional tale progresses toward the awakening of her past life as an African slave, through which racism, intolerance and greed echo still. Split between cultures, colors, beliefs and even lifetimes, Norahs perspective on race and the history of hate is the ultimate catalyst for her transformation. Hers is a magical journey of loss, discovery and love that meanders naturally like a river across space and time, drifting from Los Angeles to the Caribbean islands of St. Lucia, Martinique, Guadeloupe and Dominica.
