His-Story vs. Our Story

May 6, 2012

by Alberta Parish

The greatest stories ever told have involved a human-like savior, sinless, born of a virgin-goddess, dies a martyr's death, and is resurrected from the dead as a god. In the ancient world, a long list of deities have died and was miraculously resurrected from the dead. Even Julius Caesar supposedly died a martyr's death, and was resurrected as Divus Iulius (Divine Julius) after his murder…

Today Is A New Day by Alberta Parish



Today is a new day, because Barack Obama is our 44th President of the United States. Today is a new day for not only White America and Black America, but for all of America. Today is a new day, because I have another chance to correct or obliterate all my past mistakes. Today is a new day, because I have a chance to petition God for His grace and mercy.

Usersville by Alberta Parish

Therefore, they use this mentality to justify their shady practices.… Continue

January 3, 2008





Unforgiveness by Alberta Parish



Unforgiveness, which is closely associated with anger, is a subject nearest to my heart, so I felt compelled to write about it. It has been the driving force behind many things that I’ve done. Unforgiveness and anger are the reasons why many people don’t have the great relationships that they should have or is entitled to have.

The Choices I Made

December 16, 2008



The Choices I Made by Alberta Parish



Although I was fortunate enough to have a loving mother always present in my life and who wanted to see me succeed in life, I was unfortunate to have grown up around unsupportive and emotionally abusive family members whom I felt really didn’t have an interest in seeing me succeed in life. I feel like they expected me to settle down with a man, have a bunch of kids, and have men problems like most of them had. But I… Continue

Starting Your Own Publishing Company

The best thing that any author (especially if you've written several books like me) can do is to establish his or her own publishing company (whether self-publishing or traditional publishing). That way, you'll be in total control of your creativity and earnings. Of course, you'll make far more money as a publisher and author. If you want to establish your own publishing company, do your research first. I've already chosen Lightning Source Publishing as the company I'll use to print my books.… Continue

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.
