CHAPTER ONE
"I hate being cold," Raine puffed, watching the cloud of smoke escape her mouth. She was damn near frozen, sitting on the iron bench at the deserted bus stop. "Where's the bus?" she thought, pushing up her charcoal gray wool sleeve to steal a quick glimpse at her wristwatch. Cold air seeped into her coat as she tugged on her multi-color fleece gloves. "Shit! Sane people are still in bed! But, no, not me! Rain, sleet or snow, I'm at this fucking bus s…

What a storyteller! Cee Brooks can create a scene like nobody’s business! She kinda invites you in and lets you curl around her stories like a kitten around a cozy fire. Yeah, it was just that good.
Zoned is about Raine; she’s twenty-something, tired of her dead-end job and tumultuous relationship with her long-time boyfriend, and is just plain ready for more. And just like that, life mysteriously responds to her readiness.
Cee Brooks keeps it real! Real life and emotions of a woman, real love…

I got the 1st Review of my second book, Zoned. It was GREAT!!!! I have to admit that this "writing thang" can be very tiresome. But, to get a good review kinda takes some of the edge off. I just hope they keep coming in.....

Why is networking so diffcult. Everyone is working towards the same goals "Betterment of Oneself". Instead of sharing and uplifting- I've found more knock downs and roll overs. Quite discouranging but, I guess with out a struggle one would never be appericative.

Have you heard? We have a NEW PRESIDENT!!!!
We moaned and groaned when the office was stolen and held hostage for 8 long years. But, if we were not put into such enconomic and political uproar would this nation have been ready for an Obama? Would the American people have opened their arms to a man who's skin was kissed by the sun if homes weren't going into foreclosures? God sets up things in such divine order that "we" mere motrals can't see the glory in it until we're already thru it.....lol…

OMG... I just got my first "professional" review of my book, Her Best Friend's Lover and it was Great!!!!! 4 out of 5 stars aint bad on your first time at bat...lol. Seeing is not always believing I'm learning daily. Somethings, have to be felt and wished and prayed on before you see anything at all. Writing is not a quick fix... that always bare fruit the second you sprinkle it with a lil water. No, it takes a little and sometimes a lot of time to blossom. Who knows...lol. Don't be meek at hear…

I did say in the beginning that I would always be honest. Well folks, today I got my heart broken. Yes... broken. I've been bit by the BiHumBa Blues! Have you ever wondered why so, many couples break up around the holidays? Me too... First, I thought it was about gifts (or lack of gifts) but, now I'm not to sure. Lemme let you into my world. I was dating this guy- thought he was different. Why I'm not too sure of that now! We were connecting on some spiritual, enlightment level but..... ERRRR...…

Remember the holidays are for reconnecting with family and friends. Helping out your fellow neighbor and taking the time out to breathe. Don't get side swiped by "One Day" only sales, long wish lists and never ending lines. Take a moment and reflect on the blessings of a year's past. You may not be where you want to be but, you could always be somewhere worst. And for those who are experiencing the holidays for the first time without a love one - know that love is an gift from a spiritual place…

Promoting can be a hassle but, it's the only way your gonna get people to notice your project. Think outside the convential methods and areas of advertising. People... bookstores are not the only places you should be going after. Look at your book and/ or talents... Can you "sell" it to other companies i.e. you write children's books? Is there a daycare or childcare chain around you? If, so, go in and introduce yourself to the director. Maybe you can host a "Children's Time" there featuring your…

Tap.. tap.. tapping is the sound that keeps ringing in my ear drums...
The sound of dreams began made...the clicking of truth unfolding...
Tap... tap tapping is the wishful thinking of an inspiring...
The clicking and the clacking of the focused driven soothsayers of light and passion....
The have nots and the has beens and the I want it allers are seperated by the tap, click and clacking of the keys as I punch them....

How else can we sum up such a life changing, earth shaken, universal connecting event as the one witnessed by MILLIONS last night? This country came together as one and proclaimed "We Want CHANGE!!!". All honesty, I never in my 26 years of life thought this day would come. This morning I got up and kissed my girls and saw a glimmer of hope and promise in them that I had never seen before. My oldest girl told me last night at our own "election" party that she wanted to be President. For the first…

I woke up early this morning and headed out to the polls. I got there around 6:30 a.m. and there was already a line (PA polls opened at 7 a.m.). I stood in line chit chatting with my fellow voters on this lovely morning. The poll station had some minor issues but, we moved pretty quickly. After I voted and yes for Obama I noticed a woman maybe in her early twenties bent over in line. I asked her if she wanted a seat and yes she was very pregnant! She looked up holding her belly and said " I'm in…

Sitting here blogging entangled in time....
My first book is almost complete, the second is done and I'm scared s***less to start the third one....
My fundings looking low...
Is this how this writing thing is suppose to be?....
Not sure which way I should go but, I know it must be forward....
Feeling like I'm suspended in time...
Paused and distorted with my world on my shoulders...
This writing thing has to work for me....
The typical 9 to 5 just aint cut out for me....
When you see where you'r…

Get on it! Whatever that it is, as long as, it's positive and will enlighten your life. Don't let fears or doubt block your blessings. Take one step forward, breathe deep than take another. What good is your life if it's not fulfilling? Jump in the the deep end, splash around and you might be surpised who you might meet there.

How can I look at you and not see the woman that I am...
Blood running thru these veins birthed us into the Promised Land.....
My sista, my friend the ties that blind...
We are one mind conjoined by time...
I move to your groove and you groove to the rhythm of my rhymes...
Sealed by fate we can never be shift apart....
You are the lungs but, I am the air we take in...
I live cause you live....
I eat cause you eat....
And when I sleep we rest in the womb of eternity....

Where is she the woman that I see in my dreams begging me to be a better me.....
When did she come and how did she leave me repeatedly when the sun kissed the horzion...
I hear her words of wisdom streaming threw my reality...
These legs I stand don't know if I would chance them to weather the storm ahead of me....
But, the quicksand I am will be the death of me...
Truthfully, I know she for me...
The excuses I'm producing is just an illuision masking the fears inside of me....

Doing my thang the way it's suppose to be done...
Marching to my own beat, hell yes, I am the drummer....
Laughing thru life cause it keeps me calmer...
Enjoying myself cause tomorrow isn't promised...
I'm living the life I'm suppose to be living...
Dancing to the beats from my tailored symphany...
I too blessed to be stressed...
So gifted I gotta stay uplifted...
It's humility that keeps me out of trouble....
God's poured golden love all over me...
I am an angel with wings you just can't see...…
