I have just completed a spicy and emotional drama titled The Spices In Life. It is a tale about Christine Veronica Webbster, an Afro-American business owner in the bustle of Atlanta’s entrepreneurial world; dragging along heartaches from her past. What makes this story unique is the fact that not only does she survive excruciating Common migraines from birth, the absentee rearing of her mega-millionaire parents, the emotional abuse of her social circle as a teen; she comes to truly believe that life may not be worth striving for if her world doesn’t rotate soon. She rushes into adulthood as a force to be reckoned with with only those who can, with unwavering loyalty, stand by her; she’s either the bitch or the banker. With unlimited finances, gained social power and earned privilege, she is literally forced into an insane asylum after being found not-as-guilty from the trumped up charges of being a high-ranking drug trafficker; anything to drag her down. The one thing she wasn’t suppose to become she does and it’s about to cost her everything.

Just to whet your literary appetite.

I think
I harnessed
a fever
because I
feel hot
inside or has
my imagination
went on the run
to the sun.
I’ll catch up
before I reach
that unknown
hemisphere.
Escape,
escape,
from me
before I divulge
your inside
entity.

Gifts
I use my gift to write out loud.
I know I’m not the only one;
escaping,
feeling,
trying,
forgiving,
praying,
excepting,
turning away,
giving it up,
seeking,
needing,
blessing,
retaliating,
attempting,
misusing,
keeping,
sharing,
hoping,
wondering,
praising,
reliving;
the WAY, the TRUTH AND the LIGHT!

You May Call Us Nuts;

your eyes may even pop from their sockets but we’re doing it anyway. Doing what? Thanks for asking: We're giving away money and opportunity to a select few serious authors.

First, thank you iFOGO.com Premium Authors, John Kremer, Carolyn Howard-Johnson, Dan Poynter, Michael Mullins--poet and veteran, and others for recognizing iFOGO.com as one of the ”best book promo sites on the Internet." Is your book worth promoting? If YES, continue. If NO, Go HERE!

How many of your books are in your closet, garage, office, storage unit? You or your publisher spent thousands getting them published. How much have you (or your publisher) budgeted for targeted promotion that lasts year-round, and doesn't cost a fortune?


If You Haven't Taken Time to Really See iFOGO.com, Take a Few Minutes or More!


Now For the Outrageous.

END of DAYS
© 2009 gene cartwright

If in life, I merit
no word or mention,
no respect, no kindness,
no loving touch,
then, in death,
deny me belated attention,
long-winded speeches
that don't say much.

No flowers,
with fragrance I cannot savor
No songs,
with music I cannot hear.
Let me rest
in sweet contentment,
far beyond a single tear.

Carve no stone
with my inscription.
Spill no ink
penning words of praise.
Pay no homage
to my endeavors.
Leave unmarked...
my end of days
just leave unmarked,
my end of days.

You know what is sad in all this, the sentiment on this board is not about wanting to see justice, because frankly those on this board have shown they could care less about facts (not a single person here has seen the court documents of the case oth…

Because Sophia has made false claims! She said she won the case and that turned out to be a flat out lie! Why on earth would be you surprised she is now being scrutinized after misleading many?

you believe it because they say so? LOL! Name me ONE TIME where Sophia ever produced a court document about her case.

Well, that's what THEY are telling us, so we must BELIEVE it! We know this is the whole story, because THEY told us so, why would THEY lie? All of the information received on this case are from 100% accurate, objective and reliable sources, our very…

And you wonder why people view you guys as a fringe nutcase bunch? Sophia was going around purposely MISLEADING people into thinking she "won" the case. There are followers of this woman all over the net, fighting tooth and nail she ACTUALLY won the…

I guess none of you people have ever lost a court case! Do you realize that winning a court case has nothing to do with being wrong or right?

As a journalist, I have been taught to question everything! And it puzzles me as to why African Americans are so quick to question Stewart but not her accusers! So I ask you, how do you know this information is false? Don't respond with a reference…
