The Statue of Liberty

It is hard to believe that after my many years of schooling (secondary and post) the following facts about the Statue of Liberty were never taught.



Hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people including myself have

visited the Statue of Liberty over the years yet I'm unable to find one

person who knows the true history behind the Statue...amazing!



Yes, amazing that so much important Black history (such as this) is hidden from us (Black and White). What makes…

Lord yes, Lover no



Coming Spring, 2009!





Placed in human beings are the needs and desires necessary for reproduction. Along with these natural desires, comes personal gratification, as well as, pleasure. All of these are important to the continuance of the life cycle. Without them, humanity would become extinct.

Caged

Caged





Freedom to dwell wherever I tread

Not confined to locations with boundaries

Zoning, districts, busing



Unleash me so I can roam free



To see mountains and rivers and trees of all sorts

To open up and breathe in fresh air

Somewhere where the sky is not blocked

but in plain view



Uncage me so I can go FREE.

A Blank Sheet

A Blank Sheet



They enter blameless into this world, like a blank sheet of paper.



New, fresh, clean, spotless,



Just waiting to be written on,





Who will be the first to write?



Will it be Ms. Incest, Mr. and Mrs. Poverty, Madam Rape to name a few?



Or, maybe Sir Death will sign in before the others do.

The Heart That Keeps On Beating

THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING



It has the most important job. Wounded yet it never skips a beat. There is no gluing or stitching involved, it just continues to work, as if oblivious to attacks.



It’s a wonder and many are in awe of it. It’s the pumper of life.



Sometimes it’s carelessly handled and is crushed easily.



Many are not conscious of its fragileness. It is the holder of emotions and takes a direct hit when trampled upon.



Shattered, broken and… 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. 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
