GOOD SHIP JESUS

The Good Ship Jesus



I am Mandinka Jawaaro,

Mandinka Warrior

From Kunga to Sinkandinga

And, with these black fingers

Curled around my spear and my shield,

I stood with other boys, who wished to become men

And learned the dances of death;

Learned the Warrior Ways;

Learned the tactics, strategies and rules of engagement

Training from dusk ‘til dawn, as the Elders instructed,

But knowing in my heart that no one would try to attack… Continue

"86 PACES" - Short Horror Fiction

86 PACES



The time to strike drew near.

Andy’s heart rate slowed as Coral approached the ambush site.

The killing-time was Andy’s cool-water libation; the hunt – his calming opiate.

Coral jogged along the trail, spurred on by the revolutionary call of Bob Marley:

Dem crazy…

We gonna chase those crazy baldheads outta town…”



If Coral wasn’t jogging to Kanye West, then it had to be Robert Nestra… Continue

It's been a minute on my part, hasn't it?

Hope that all is good on your end. Been meaning to ask, how was your HND experience? I didn't get the chance to make it out there back in August. I was only able to attend the last day of events....

I would love to meet with you. Most of my stories are based on African culture and mythology, and having some insight on African martial arts would definitely enhance my action scenes. I'm a former (i don't pratice anymore) martial artist. I studied sil lum kung fu, Chinese Kenpo, tae kwon do and boxing (my dad was a boxer in the Marines) for twenty 15 years. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.
Spam is unsolicited advertising, whether it is posted as comments on other members' pages or is emailed for marketing purposes.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.

Advice on Exploring Erotica in Your Writing

MediaBistro's Morning Media Menu had a conversation with author Jamie Brenner about advice for writers looking to explore this newly crowded genre. An excerpt from Brenner: My first erotic novel came out two years ago. The landscape feels completely different. There is not just the hope to reach a mainstream audience with erotic novel, but the expectation that success is reaching everyone, not just the genre readers. Fifty Shades of Grey really raised the bar for that. At the same time, working…See More
