Changes ... A Love Story

Every story or poem that I have ever written has come to me "out of the blue." I prefer to think of them as gifts from God. It happened again! I woke up this morning and couldn't get these lines out of my head. I had to write: Changes … A Love Story By Dyahnne Alston She lay there, trapped in his anaconda grip, as he snored in her ear.

A Dream Deferred and Streets

A Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat?

Sensations Publishing is Growing!

When I decided to expand Sweetie's Books to include adult genre, it was a frightening move. I was moving out of my comfort zone of children's books to a very grown-up world of sexual content and adult language. This is a far leep from my usual picture books with simple rhymes and fantasy illustrations or middle grade books with clear, clean morals and teachable moments. Wow, I feel like a virgin! But I'm loving every minute of it.… Continue

Ken Mills replied to Marcia L. McNair's discussion 'Black Author wins The Matrix Copyright Infringement Case'

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…
