Book Description
Taffy Douglas, the real bitch in charge, is the mama of three sexy, smart, and highly creative daughters who use their "skills" through internet video porn to make paper. Chyna, Karrine, and Simone have a hands-off approach when it comes to men. They prefer to handle their business with high-dollar ballers who are willing to pay up for a sneak peek at the sisters from the other side. Captain save-a-ho is not Taffy's profession; kickin' ass and savin' some for later is. So, all bets are off when Taffy's money-makin' daughters refuse to play by her rules. The chips must fall where they may. When the secretive man in Chyna's life finds himself down on bended knee to propose, will she accept, knowing that Mama ain't down with it? Sassy Simone will meet her match, but he comes in the form of a stalker who terrorizes her through the internet. She's definitely afraid, but not as afraid as Karrine, who catches a bullet in her back for seeking the real truth about family secrets that have been buried for years. These money-makin' mamas will have to hold on tight, because they are in for one wild ride.

The Sawdust Pile
Author: Don Mobley Adams
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595804624
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
In 1996, Alexander Rumpkin was at the top of his game: he was CEO of America's largest health care organization. His ruthless trampling of people to get there is the story of The Sawdust Pile. Coming of age with two white cousins and a black kid in the segregated South, Alex had none of the tools commonly needed to climb to the top; but he succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams because he allowed nothing and no one to block his path. The Sawdust Pile is a riveting account of boys and the adults they became. Their contradictory relationships are developed with sensitivity and insight-a realistic portrayal of growing up on both sides of the color line in rural Georgia during the forties and fifties. Transitioning to the nineties and modern Atlanta, this story demonstrates with a vengeance that the boys-with all their faults and strengths-were truly "fathers of the men." ****** A sophisticated critic says: "This is a fast-paced story of boys becoming men and the lifelong consequences of youthful bonding and conflicts. Elements energizing the characters-competition, survival, domination, love, hatred, loyalty, betrayal, religion, sex, and family-are all in the mix, appearing early in this fascinating world and impacting all that follows. In a highly unusual first novel, the author delivers a bittersweet, provocative probe into the lives of men and women inhabiting The Sawdust Pile-evoking deep emotions, yet satisfying completely."

The Dream App

Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532024371
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
This original work of fiction is replete with plenty of soulfully constructed images and intrigue. Additionally, it will introduce young characters who interact with contemporary themes with a design on arousing the curiosity and inciting the unbridled sense of wonder lying within us all. The familiar question in our American vernacular that will drive this and subsequent adventures of the young protagonist is, Well, do you know what they say? This rhetorical question opens the doors for disseminating timely, mundane, and spiritual tidbits of wisdom that, through human experience, have stood the test of time. Call them axioms, adages, or just plain and simple insight into the way life truly works, even as we allow their anecdotal audacity to guide and protects us from our negative conclusions; we can also delight in knowing that their commissions among us are infinite. Like all stories about life, the principle players in these tales are good versus evil, and in this very troubling time in the history of our species, where social media has created a Frankenstein of asocial behavior, there is a moral clause that hopefully compels every reader to see themselves and begin to think and to feel and learn while being entertained. And so it begins.

Book Description
Kylee Hampton is no poor little rich girl. She's living the life—nicely furnished condo, decent ride, designer clothes, and a purse and shoe game to kill for—and she knows it. Mommy and Daddy foot the bills for their only child. In their eyes, she deserves it. Kylee's never given them problems. She graduated high school and is ready to start her freshman year of college. If her parents took time to look into her closet, they'd do the math and realize that not even the allowance they provide Kylee could afford her all the luxuries she has. Of course, Kylee would never allow them in her closet because she knows that beneath the red bottom shoes and Louis Vuitton bags, skeletons would be discovered. Kylee's secrets are safe with her girl Ja'Nay, a loyal friend who has tried to be the voice of reason when it comes to Kylee's lifestyle. Ja'Nay hasn't been able to get Kylee to see the ugliness of her ways, but she still prays that her friend will come to her senses. The last thing Ja'Nay wants is for Kylee to reap what she sows.
