I have set up groups within the GSP social network site for the different genres of writers to work on honing their crafts. The site will also feature one book a month from each genre. I hope to see you all there.
Books published:
When I open my eyes...reflections on self, life, and love(2nd edition) - poetry
Karamel Dreams - an anthology of sensual stories (Coming early 2009)
Invisible Memories - an anthology of poems, words of encouragement, short short stories, and advice on various types of abuse and self esteem issues (tentative release date April 2009 based on submissions received)
More titles planned for 2009 release...join our mailing list for updates
About Gentle Storm:
I am a poet, writer, publisher, wife and mother. Of course not in that order. :>) I have several titles set for release next year. People always ask, what do you write? I write what I feel...poetry, erotica, urban fiction, short stories, you name it. I am that perfect blend of sweet, soft, and gentle mixed with tough, street, and to the point. Gentle Storm is a true representation of my personality. I grew up experiencing the very worst that Oakland, California has to offer. Fortunately being able to visit and live other places as an adult helped to balance me out.
I love reading and writing every chance I get. I'm looking to network with others in the literary field and master the art of marketing and grow as a writer.
Gentle Storm Publishing is also looking for people that need book cover designs. If you like the book cover(s) displayed here. Please contact graphic-artist@gentlestorms.com for a quote on your project. We are having an end of 2008 special on full cover book designs for $208. Additional charges apply for models being provided.
We are always looking for erotic/sensual submissions of poetry and short stories for our anthology series.
Thanks
Gentle Storm
Experience what's seen, felt, and heard, as these talented writers view the world around them and the one within. We invite you to come in, sit down, and take a look into how these poets feel about life and maybe gain some understanding into what you can really see...When you open your eyes.

Seduction Intro Poem
His voice is H.O.T.
HOT
like liquid fire heating up my flesh
he's giving me 104 degrees of fever.
As perspiration lightly dances across my breast
with each drop he's touching
every centimeter of my body
leaving no spot of my chocolate sweet flesh unattended.
Line after line he speaks
lights me up inside
like fireworks
at the brightest 4th of July display.
His flow is fluid
with a movement smooth as silk
tying my wrists to the mahogany bedpost
embracing my tender ebony curves
wrap… Continue
