An excerpt from my novel The Spices In Life

The Spices
Tracey and Christine's friendship goes back to their teenage years. It appears that they'll be best friends forever;

but things do change. The last time they were together they were 18 years old sitting in front of a Western Union,

in Los Angeles, California in Christine's black convertible Jaguar waiting on a transfer of $22,000 from Kaci.

They'd decided to take this much needed vacation their before life gets hectic with growing up and all. After 14

months in sunny California Tracey, along with her son, dreams of becoming a Commercial Real Estate agent; and

sets off to do just that. Christine returns to Atlanta, cashes in her small inheritance and begins a life of trial and

error; surfacing to become an entrepreneurial force to be reckon, using her social circle for her own gain. Angelia

McCarthy's fire stems from needing to payback Christine and Tracey for the horrific stunt they pulled when they

were in high school, which caused her and her family to have to leave Georgia and disappear in Montana.

Now at 36, 5'10, slim and toned with small perky breast that seem to always be alert for one reason or another, she

is determine to use her social muscle to influence the outcome of Christine's fate; 10 to 25 fed or 365 days in

Brown Wood asylum for the mentally and criminally insane. Ruthless and raw in relationships, Angelia orders her

own steps with her own words per unlimited pleasures and that bitch Christine Webbster. She works from the

inside out to get Christine’s ass back for an unforgivable sin. Frederick Franks, a 21 year old, undercover

brother, well-educated young man raised and educated in France in a bi-racial dynasty. He arrives in Atlanta after

four years of University education and much parental prodding to continue his education at the renowned Georgia

State University. His goals include becoming a respected photographer and or somebody 'important' personal

assistant, by all means necessary. The means include late night parties, men, secrets and Veronica Webbster.

Maxila Davis is a handsome light-skinned stud with 22 well placed red freckles that loves herself some Veronica.

As a financial genius for Fortune 500 clientèle, she easily affords rendezvous in any country she chooses. From

their initial contact she decides to spoil Veronica from coast to coast until Veronica begins making excuses about

every damn thing. When she thinks she’s about to lose Veronica; she loses it; and death does them apart. Rich’nald

Regis is a 35 year old brilliant business man and undercover government agent and cheating husband and ladies
man and attentive father; whew. He is a forced-upon friend outside of Christine’s immediate social circle but kept

close to her all the same; for her own personal reasons. Maybe it's because he's married and can only demand so

much or maybe it's because his career takes him, to foreign lands and she's always invited or maybe because his

sex is top-notch; whew. A beautiful black man with an awakening character. Rich'nald chooses his smiles and cries

carefully when it comes to beautiful black women. He never imagines an Angelia McCarthy and a Veronica

Webbster. 20 year old wild child Tammy Stuart inherits $5,000,000 from her great grandfather's will. Her wildly

animated, self-entertaining lifestyle challenges every one she meets until she meets Veronica Webbster on a much

needed cruise around St. Croix. Her older sister Wanda gets nothing. With that Wanda allows her trusted friend, the

neighborhood serial rapist, to do with Tammy as he pleases, almost taking her life. Whether it was fate or

circumstance Tammy is allowed a get back so heinous that it should be counted as an unforgivable sin. Her

crackhead sister betrays her in the worst of ways and Tammy re-pays her equally the same. Desire Floute, is like

fiiire baaaby; is a 19 year old erotic, exotic dancer with a rap video body. She stands 5’10, royally beautiful and

playboy sexy. Her only flaw is being too vulnerable to Veronica. She’s been on her own for 5 years and avoids the

dangers, toils and snares the hard way; by being consistently persistent in pursuing becoming a top magazine and

runway model. She has everything in her favor except... Mackenzie Phelps is a gentle soul that enjoys throwing

parties for his friends, cooking culture-influenced meals, flirting with gorgeous women and being of assistance to

anyone that may need him; exactly what he does for Christine Webbster. Dennis Carroll, is a universal gangster

making his ends meet. He'd been in Atlanta 2 years and had accumulated 4 baby mommas. His lust for Veronica

has no end; or is it more about her money. Their relationship is emotionally strained because of him trying to make

a thoroughbred drink the water she’s being led to; though she’s not that thirsty. 6’3, 27, stocky, sexually handsome

in his light brown skin, short naturally curly hair, brown cat-eyes with a flair for putting clothes together. His

thuggish roguish attitude is what turns Veronica the hell on and he knows it. He tries forcing her to comply but

she’s not having it; no not one bit. Mr. Charlston Hays, the avid traveler, researcher and writer, heads off to

Africa with his significant other, Raymond, to express what they deem still unnecessary suppression of the
majority of the black folks of the Motherland; proving that the pen is mightier than the sword. He creates an Africa

to America newspaper 'Listen Up' and it sings. Antonio Conseulo at 25 decides that the only way of becoming

a notable American writer is to leave his comfort zone. His current credits include 6 published short stories and

numerous awards and acclamations plus a portfolio of his professional photographs. Antonio flies to Atlanta where

he enrolls at Georgia State University to further develop his literary, photographic and social skills. He blindly

engages in unprotected orgies with two high-maintenance gays; just to fit in with what he’s told is a natural

American custom. They find out later a mutual friend of the three die of AIDS, from a down low that almost

seemed worth it; damn.

















In Life
 
Christine Veronica Webbster;

an emotional wreck that becomes a financial powerhouse,

having spent secluded years building her world to fit

securely into her sanity. Her experiences with life’s

ups and downs, its ins and outs, tricks in her

emotional trade, allows her to refocus her

instilled views of the harshness of potential relationships;

refusing to be sucked up out of her spirit.

Her personal psychological fits fight her every step of the way as

she steps into adulthood knowing she is about to face reality

truly alone. The spices in her life define her morals,

morals that cause her to maintain a certain distance

from people; it being necessary for her mental stability.

Veronica’s principles guide her to the beds of many and

into the hearts of none. With her headaches in and out of remission,

she rushes from her past, blaming her beginnings.

She blossoms; one of the many things she’s great at.

At 35, with two established businesses and more money than most

in her amazing social circle she lives with the spices in her life to the fullest;

on her own terms; until...

Would someone please tell me the difference in urban fiction, and mainstream fiction. My novel is urban, yet I believe it fits within the parameters of mainstream. So what's the difference?
