<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">If I were
to tell you I wrote a story about a May/December love affair between music and
a saxophone named Her, would you believe me? I didn’t think you would but it’s
true. Music has been here since the dawn of time. It’s been the melody of life,
unfettered, free, and always waiting for us to-dare I say-tame it and guide it
with our voices and with our instruments. The musician may have picked up the
sax and breathed air into Her, but it was from the music, the jazz that was
created, that love was found and where it grew. <br />
<br />
Amina Perrin isn’t looking for love. In fact, she isn’t looking for anything.
She’s got her yoga, her massage therapy and the community she serves, keeping
her plenty busy. That is until she bumps into a stranger who may change her
free-spirited mind.<br />
<br />
Gabriel Slade is living the good life. Financially secure, nice condo
overlooking the city, and the occasional “drink” with a beautiful woman—he has
no intention on getting caught up, especially not with one so much younger than
him, but here he is… getting all caught up and picking up a long forgotten
saxophone he calls Her.<br />
<br />
If you’re opposed to sweltering love scenes between two passionate adults, this
book isn’t for you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I sat there
sipping my drink, listening to the music, and tried to clear my head. Maybe it
was the music, maybe it was the whiskey, I don’t know, but the longer I sat
there, the easier it became for me to find my peace. It had been a few days
since I played the sax for Amina, a few days since my heart clenched in my
chest as she walked toward me with her softness and her smile of appreciation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">It was then
that I realized that I had seriously fallen for Amina and not just in a way
that meant I just wanted to have more sex with her. I had gotten comfortable
with having her around all the time. That, in itself, is gargantuan because I
love my lifestyle. I don’t particularly like people in my space. Oh, it’s all
good for a while, a day or two at the most, but then it’s time for you to go.
And don’t try to make yourself comfortable on the low, you know, conveniently
leaving things around the house. That is not cool. I took another sip and
laughed as I remembered the days when I would check the house after my company
would leave and if they left anything, I would have it for them next time I saw
them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But it
wasn’t like that with Amina and I wondered why?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Why was
everything different with her? Why had I allowed her to take up so much space
in my world? And why am I so happy about it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“What’s up,
Gabe?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I looked to
see Russell Harper, the band’s saxophone player, sliding onto the stool beside
me and that was when I realized that the band had finished and were taking a
short break before their next set.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“What’s up,
Harp?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Question
is, what’s up with you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Nothing
much.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Harp shook
his head and said with a chuckle, “We both know that’s a lie.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I chose not
to comment; mainly because it made no sense and two, I had Amina on my mind.
Instead, I looked toward the door where a beautiful woman was waiting for
Valerie to greet and then seat her. She was wearing an elegant black
one-shoulder, sleeveless dress with an asymmetrical neckline that showed off
her fit body. Bottom line, the woman was fine. She was the type of woman that I
would have stepped to not too long ago. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Without
bothering to ask, Reggie, the bartender took the liberty of freshening up my
drink and putting one in front of Harp. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Thanks,
Reggie.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I picked up
my glass and watched as she looked around for Valerie and then her gaze settled
at the bar. We exchanged glances and then she looked around again and then back
to me. She smiled and I nodded my head to acknowledge her beauty before turning
my attention back to my drink. I picked it up and took a sip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Wow, who
is she, man?” Harp asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“How would
I know? She just walked in.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Harp looked
at the door. “Not her. She’s in here all the time, a real man-eater, that one.
I’m talking about the one that got you sitting there looking like someone in
love,” he said cleverly including the title of the jazz classic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I turned
and looked at Harp for a moment before looking away. And again, I remained
silent, drained my glass and signaled for Reggie to pour me another drink.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“What is
that? Is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Like Someone in Love</i> the
next song you’re going to play?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Harp sipped
his drink. “You know, that ain’t a bad idea. Maybe an up-tempo cut of the
Blakey version,” he said nodding his head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“The Blakey
version is the up-tempo version,” I said, all the while knowing that Harp liked
to go hard on every cut.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“You call
that up-tempo?” Harp laughed. “And stop trying to change the subject.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“What
subject was that?” I asked, knowing full well what he was talking about. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I asked
you what woman got you sitting here looking like someone in love. You tried to
avoid my question, unsuccessfully I might add, by referencing the Blakey
classic.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Everything
by Blakey is classic.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Stop
trying to change the subject.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I drained
my glass and looked at Harp. “Why it got to be about a woman?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Because
everything is about a woman.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I laughed.
“So, it really is all about them, huh?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Yes. When
a man loves a woman, yes. If he loves her, I mean, if he really loves her,”
Harp said with enthusiasm while motioning with his hands. “And he’s smart, he
makes it all about her. You wanna know why?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I got a
feeling that you’re about to tell me whether I want you to or not.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“You’ve got
that right. But here is why; because when she loves her man, the right woman
makes it all about him.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I stared at
Harp and wondered when he became the voice of experience in the arena of love?
Maybe it was because he was so scarred from the many years of battle. He and
his wife, Lisa have been in a state of war, practically from the day they met,
but he married her anyway. Before he joined the Navy, Harp had been involved
with a woman that he was so in love with. He wanted her to go with him when he
enlisted. But Carol, that was her name, refused to follow him. He left without
her and that is when he met and married Lisa. When he got out and returned to
Pittsburgh, he and Carol resumed their passionate affair and as a result, Carol
ended up pregnant with his daughter, Amara. Their love child.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Needless to
say, when lunatic Lisa found out about it, she lived up to her name and went
ballistic. She terrorized that woman unmercifully, Harp too, for that matter.
She put him on lockdown and forbade him to see the woman or their child. But I
guess it all worked out in the end. After years of being unhappy, but staying
for the sake of his children with Lisa, Harp finally left her and is getting a
divorce. I understand that he’s even developing a relationship with Amara.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But all
that history aside, my question still stood. What made Harp the guy I should
take relationship advice from? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nothing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But the
more I thought about his words, the more it made sense. The time that I was
spending with Amina, whether I had done it consciously or not, I had made it
all about her. And you know what? Amina made me feel that. For her, it was all
about me, and that was a great feeling. The best feeling in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I see your
point, Harp,” I said and noticed that the man-eater had taken a seat at the bar
directly across from me. She smiled and raised her glass when I made eye
contact with her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Looks like
you’re her prey tonight,” Harp said and finished his drink. “Be careful, I hear
her claws are sharp, but she’s worth the price of admission.” He stood up.
“Good to see you, Gabe. Maybe you should stop by and jump in on a set or two.
Bring the one who has you all in knots when you come.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I just
might do that,” I said, eyeing the woman across from me. She was beautiful, and
I couldn’t seem to take my eyes off of her but I soon realized it was because
her eyes reminded me of Amina’s. Exotic and intense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I looked at
my watch. It was just after eight and Amina should be through with her client
and on her way home by now. It wasn’t like we had made any arrangement to get
together later or that it was something that was expected of me. It was just
that I wanted nothing more than to be with her. Not just having sex with her,

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Aja is the
writer of sensually erotic women’s fiction. Her stories allow readers to
experience realistic, inspiring and soulful interactions between her characters
and intense passion between couples overcoming life’s challenges.</span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Raised as an only child, using her
imagination to create stories came naturally to her. Writing her first book in
the first grade encouraged her doting and supportive mother to enter her into
writing contests to help her hone her craft. Inspired by soulful music and sensual
art, she crafts her stories on a whim, using the snatches of time her
characters grace her with and stringing them together for completion. She loves
prose but has been known to be poetic which can be found, if looking, in some
of her published work.</span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />

Please forgive my negligence to my blog. Life happens and things fall down the list of things to do. I've missed chatting with you. So.... I will be more attentive to you in 2017! I've got a lot of ideas in my head and I will be asking you followers for feedback on what you want. I want to know what you think and want in several areas, so I will start with this quick survey. <a href="http://i%27m%20curious%20about%20your%20reading/"> https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CMTXLPY</a><br />
I'm entertaining a few new project and additions and these questions will give me some general answers, but there will be more questions to come to narrow down my efforts to give my followers and supports just what they want! Please take this short survey. <span style="color: magenta;">Thank you, I am SOOOOO BACK!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium;">"Johnson is a skilled storyteller with a breezy style, and the journey of Felicia, a strong African American woman, will have particular appeal for Terry McMillan fans." -<i>Booklist</i></span></div>
<div style="color: #212121; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium;">Felicia Lyons, a stressed out stay-at-home mom struggles to sprint ahead of the demands of motherhood while her husband spends long days at the office. Felicia taps, utters mantra, and breathes her way through most situations but on some days, like when the children won’t stop screaming her name or arguing over toy trucks and pretzel sticks, she wonders what it would be like to get in her car and drive away.</span></div>
<div style="color: #212121; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium;">Then one evening the telephone rings, and in a split second the harried mother’s innocent fantasy becomes a hellish reality. The call pulls her back into a life she’d rather forget. Felicia hasn’t been completely honest about her upbringing, and her deception forces her return to the Philadelphia of her childhood, where she must confront the family demons and long buried secrets she thought she had left behind. </span></div>
<div style="color: #212121; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium;">From a phenomenal fresh voice in fiction, comes the compelling story of what happens when the dream falls apart. It’s the unforgettable tale of love, loss, rediscovery, and the growing pains of marriage.</span></div>

Can one night lead to forever?
Kassidy Monroe has spent far too many nights alone. But could she actually go through with a one-night stand? No! At least, that’s her answer until her eyes settle on him—tall, dark, and ultra-mysterious behind a black and platinum mask that makes him even more appealing. It’s lust at first sight, but how far is she willing to go with a man she’s just met?
Jaxon Prescott has always gone after what he wants. And he wants her—the sexy vixen in the feather mask. Something about her calls to him, and he’s all too willing to answer. An invitation to his hotel suite was supposed to be for a night she wouldn’t soon forget, but somehow the tables turn. He never imagines he’d be the one constantly reliving their time together.
One need. One night. One unforeseen outcome.

A mysterious stranger helps a teenage boy called Ethan rescue his mentor, an elderly father-figure, from drowning when their canoe capsizes in a flooding river. A star athlete, Ethan later gets involved in unsafe sex, which leads to drugs, and gets him blackballed by jealous and gossiping team-mates. The boy is going down, and at times hates himself for it and for hurting his mom who is a caring, loving, and beautiful woman.
After another disastrous episode, where Ethan might have died, the river-stranger turns up again to confront him about his life choices. However, even after rehab, the boy’s condition is marked by a yo-yo attitude which causes massive emotional heartache for his mom.
The river-stranger, after sharing his own amazing history, suggests taking the fight to another level which draws on the resources of God. This begins a new and fascinating sequence of events, including a tornado, which get Ethan’s attention.
The book is a captivating story, packed with adventure in the desert Southwest and in the rivers and lakes of the Midwest USA. But it is also a goldmine of spiritual wisdom for teenagers. The mystery that permeates the story is compelling, and the thrilling ending may call for a tissue or two.

Prologue</h2>
<b><br />Our house was very musical, but we weren’t allowed to play the blues. That’s what my mother would call any music that wasn’t gospel—the blues. Irma Delores Wilson was saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost, and in her mind, if you couldn’t sing a particular song loudly from the front pews of the Church of God in Christ, then, like cigarettes, alcohol, and cursing, it was a sin against the good Lord. Something that would land you on the wrong side of heaven’s gates.<br /><br />Mind you, there wasn’t any such thing as black radio in Tulsa. You had one radio station back in the fifties and sixties, and that station played Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers, and the like, which we could listen to occasionally when we rode in the car. But if we wanted to hear R & B music—Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, the Rolling Stones, the Temptations, the Supremes—we had to go next door for that. Miss Hanna, our neighbor, had all that music in spades, sitting right there next to one of the best-sounding stereos and speaker systems in our neighborhood. Her records were shiny, too—she kept them clean and scratch-free. My brothers, my friends, and I would sneak over there and listen to Sam Cooke’s “You Send Me” and everything by Harry Belafonte. Our favorite was James Brown, a god in and of himself. He brought a whole other level of energy and soul that we could detect even at a young age. With him, you wouldn’t be satisfied sitting in your chair and tapping on the counter; he was doing something completely different from that Motown romanticism—not just lyrically but musically. Motown had a heavy backbeat on the two and the four, with a tambourine attached to it. When James punched the two and the four and the horns would hit and the snap of the snare drum pounced—it was bam! Like gunshots. It was so powerful and monstrous you couldn’t help but dance. He straightened everybody out with that funk, like, “Here I come, here I go, and here I’m going to stay.” He was the leader. I was only about eight or nine when James Brown was leaving that indelible artistic mark, and every last one of my friends and I loved him with abandon. We all tried to do the “James Brown.” His feet were so fast and the splits so badass. He had a hold on every young kid and teenager who ever dreamed of making music. That none of that was allowed in my house, where my father was a preacher and my mother a choir director, just made me love “the blues” even more.<br /><br />Still, from the youngest age, I was so moved by this soul music, I wanted to share it with my parents. There was one artist whom I thought even they, especially my mother, could appreciate: Stevie Wonder. He moved something deep inside me. I’ll never forget the first time I heard Stevie Wonder at Miss Hanna’s house. He sounded like a twelve-year-old version of my mama. In fact, I thought he was a girl—rolling his voice with that same sound quality Mama had when she sang and played piano at my father’s church—until somebody told me otherwise. One day when I heard “Fingertips” on the radio, I nearly lost my mind. I ran over to Miss Hanna’s window and yelled out to my mother to listen, and then I turned the stereo up really high. She smiled, I snapped my fingers to the beat, and Stevie, well, he worked those licks and riffs that became part of his repertoire.<br /><br />Nobody was making those runs on the radio.<br /><br />Nobody.<br /><br />Stevie was the first, and he was incredible. That he was a young boy, just a bit older than me, encouraged my already intense desire to sing. Prior to hearing Stevie, I didn’t believe that anybody could touch the performance ability I’d displayed in church and at home and had already been getting accolades for. But there he was.<br /><br />“I can get him, Mama! I can get him! I can sing like that!” I yelled.<br /><br />My mother laughed. And then she got serious: “Boy, you ain’t playing no blues.”<br /><br />Call it what you want, a sixth sense, a gut instinct, a premonition, or simply a mother’s intuition, but Mama understood the trouble that could come with being a secular celebrity. The drinking. The drugs. The women. The jealousy and envy. The danger. The incredible rise and the dizzying plummets. The stakes were high. And she wanted to protect her son—a naïve, impressionable church boy—at any cost.<br /><br />She did the best she could. I didn’t listen. My talent, this God-given gift of vocal, performance, and musical production skills, was too strong a pull. As soon as I could, I ran toward the fire. And I got burned. In part because that is the way of the music industry: it sucks you in and, if you are not careful, chews you up into bitty pieces and spits you back out into the wind. But also because, like my mother probably knew deep down in her gut, I was not naturally endowed with all the bravado you need to navigate stardom. Not in the earliest of my days in the spotlight, anyway.<br /><br />My friend Rick James, whom I’d meet after my family band, The GAP Band, started making it, knew this, too. He used to tell me that I was much too quiet. Rick was boisterously charismatic, the way he walked, the way he commanded a room. When I met him in 1978 or 1979, he was already a bona fide rock star and was covering some of The GAP Band’s music in his shows. He was on the Motown label, so he had a machine in his corner. He also had the Stone City Band up there onstage with him and a fan base that got downright rabid from the moment he’d come out, shirtless, into the spotlight, the tails of his long leather coat flying behind him, his man tights and leg warmers sitting funky in his cowboy boots, and all that hair swinging past his shoulders. When his fingers got to prancing across the strings of his guitar and the audience made out the notes for the intro to “You and I” or caught wind of the opening licks to “Mary Jane,” the entire arena would combust into all kinds of screaming and shouting and frenetic energy. Rick James was electric, and he was drawn to me because I was his complement onstage—wild and full of bravado. Active. He liked that. He liked me. And pretty quickly after we met, we were fast friends, running the streets and hitting the clubs and getting into all kinds of debauchery together. But it was hard for me to keep up with Rick.<br /><br />One night he had me ride in the limo with him and an entourage of about ten people as we headed for the China Club in Los Angeles. Rick was practically talking in tongues—“All you gappers and finger snappers and toe tappers and you love rappers,” that line from The GAP Band’s “I Don’t Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance (Oops!),” was just one of the jewels Rick dropped that night in the limo—and to say he was amped when it came time to walk past the velvet rope and into the doors of the China Club would be an understatement. I was by his side in the car, but by the time all the people piled out of that limo and the bodyguards started jumping out of their cars and the swag level of Rick James and his entourage was turned up to one thousand, I was all the way in the back of the line, having been shoved out of the way by Rick’s various groupies and clingers-on as they jockeyed for space in his orbit.<br /><br />That’s the way I was: Vibrant onstage but quiet and unassuming off. Too afraid to speak up. Rick was a superstar. Me, I was just the lead singer in a band. “You’re too humble,” Rick said to me when we finally found each other in the VIP room after twenty minutes. I didn’t want to cause a scene or be a problem to anybody, and he wanted me to be the opposite. “You should have been right here next to me the whole time.”<br /><br />“How could I do that?” I asked. “I had people pushing me out the way.”<br /><br />“You gotta act like a star,” he said, tossing in a few curse words to put an exclamation mark on his point. “Watch me. I’ll show you how.”<br /><br />The next day, he dressed me up in all this stuff—all that Rick James accouterment that made him bigger than life: boots and tights, leather, and leg warmers. And he had me walking around with him like that—trying to give me a different swagger. “Who are you?” he kept asking me. “I know who I am. The name is Rick James, bitch.” That was not a saying made up by Charlie Murphy and Dave Chappelle for a TV skit. Rick was really like that. That was his thing: “This is rock and roll, bitch.” He insisted I say it, but I couldn’t do it. Having been raised in a preacher’s house, I couldn’t see myself responding to someone who asked me my name with a “My name is Charlie Wilson, bitch!” So I didn’t say it, I didn’t think it, I didn’t act on it. I didn’t run through the women and call them bitches. I just let Rick act on it. And that was okay for a minute, but after a while, I started feeling less than—as if I were the clinger-on and everyone else was the superstar. I felt little. Belittled. Rick, Sly, Stevie Wonder, all the superstars I hung with had everything, and there I was with so little self-esteem. I felt as if I were a nothing, had nothing. Then soon enough, that nothing manifested for real.<br /><br />Low self-esteem was the bitch.<br /><br />And ultimately, the catalyst for my spectacular downfall.<br /><br />Singing the blues didn’t kill me after all. Music, my gift, helped me to soar, dropped me to my lowest of lows, and resurrected me in ways immeasurable. In fact, it, along with God’s goodness and mercy, imprinted on me as a child raised by the hand of a woman who loved and revered the Lord, saved my life.</b></div>

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">I have always loved memoirs because they tell you the back story of who they are and how they came to be so successful. Charlie Wilson has been singing over half his lifetime, from a child he knew what he wanted to do and be. His collaborations with artists from The Rolling Stones to Snoop Dogg show his longevity and versatility in this career. He drops so much wisdom from his own hindsight as he reflects on his life, career, drugs, homelessness, his health and the legacy he is still building. And still going strong and better than ever.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">I’ve loved his distinct voice since the Gap Band days, but I’m really loving this man’s voice telling his story, and he is still Outstanding!</span></b><br />

Yahrah St. John Fun Facts
What songs best describes your work ethic?
This will require much thought. No easy answer on this.
If you could tell your younger self anything, what would it be?
Don’t get in debt. Run from those credit card tables at the student union that offer you a free t-shirt when you sign up and a credit limit that you can’t afford making minimum wage.
Would you rather be well liked or well respected?
Well-respected. I’m a leader, always have been and that’s important to me.
Would you rather be in love with the person of your dreams or have every dream you wished of accomplished?
Have every dream you wished of accomplished. I accomplished becoming a published author via traditional publishing. Someone actually bought my book 10 years. Would I love to have wealth (but not fame), yes, but overall I’m pretty satisfied with my life.
So what would you rather? Share your thoughts below. I would love to hear from you!

Like many others, Nakia ran away from what she loved, immersed herself in work and concentrated fully on being a mother. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Inspired and fueled by attempts to be molded into the norm, she began to write her first body of work titled, THE TRUTH AS I SEE IT: IN POETRY & PROSE. Nakia remains determined to present the truth as she sees it in all</b> facets of her writing, and hopes that her writing will inspire and serve a meaningful purpose for her readers. Nakia is committed to challenging everyone within her reach to find compassion and empathy in the differences that exist among us all. Her debut novel, RUNNING FROM SOLACE recently won the 2011 USA Book News Best Book Award for African American Fiction. She is currently working on her next novel.</div>

One family of means and one family with little means and a home that joins them. This very well told story, tells both of their stories with compassion and a heart wrenching view of what was the unfortunate cause and effect of these families. The characters were unforgettable and flawed, but human. Eddie Mark is a brilliant writer and storyteller.</span></b></div>

Empty Womb, Empty Tomb is a thought provoking memoir recapping the dramatic events surrounding the premature birth and death of Quiana's baby boy, Nehemiah Johnson, and the restoring work of the Holy Spirit in the aftermath. March 10, 2014 was undeniably marked as one of the most life altering days of her life as her and her husband delivered their firstborn child at home in the bathroom, only to bury him five days later. Through this tragedy, Quiana learned many truths that allowed her to overcome her trauma and receive one of the most riveting revelations of her life. Empty Womb, Empty Tomb provokes every emotion imaginable as the reader tags along as one woman finds hope and wholeness through venturing to an empty tomb once occupied by Jesus Christ.

<div class="MsoNormal">
Love is one of the most consumed terms in the human
language. It’s probably the most wrongly used word, but the word that is most
necessary when used correctly. With an inaccurate definition of love we find
ourselves searching for something to fulfill us, but in all of our searching we
miss it. We miss it because unfortunately we don’t recognize that we are
already perfectly loved. The problem is not the overuse of the word love. If it
were up to God, we would use it at all times. The problem is, we say the word
but don’t do any of the actions that come with its meaning. The problem is that
we don’t know what God wanted it to mean, because we don’t give God the credit
for the most amazing thing He ever created—LOVE!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Perfectly Loved will bring us back to the understanding of
love from the creator and embodiment of love Himself. Each chapter includes
“Think About It” questions and a study verse that are perfect for individual
study, Bible Study, and small group lessons. As you explore how God loves you,
you will also build love in your relationships with other people, and God. When
you discover “perfect love” you will be able to relinquish your fears, push
through your adversity, and serve others with love.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
When Marisol Chesapeake returns to Indigo Falls, North
Carolina, her ex is the last person she expects to see. The second their paths
cross, sparks fly out of control. There’s no denying the attraction that still
lingers, but there’s no way she can allow herself to act on it. No matter how

A future filled with possibilities…</div>

Kincaid Tinsdale has spent the last few years away from

woman he’s dreamt about for the past ten years. The second his eyes settle on
his ex, it awakens a hunger only she can satisfy. There’s just one problem. By
the looks of it, Marisol wants nothing to do with him. But looks can be
deceiving.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A present that will determine everything…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She’s not searching for love—especially his. He’s not giving
up. Will the flame that once blazed between them be reignited? Or will she simply
remain his ultimate desire?</div>

Archie </span></b><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 142%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-highlight: white;">hails from Atlanta,

<span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 142%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-highlight: white;">Several years ago, after noticing the alarming
statistics of the HIV rate of African American women, Chizellé became fed up
with the way her African American brothers and sisters (young alike), were
beginning to settle for any and everything, in that having safe sex was not an
option anymore. Lastly, what disturbed her most was there are so many people
sitting in the church pews each Sunday masking their hurt, because of the
stigma associated with this epidemic, and yet the one place they feel most
comfortable is the one place that leaves them feeling so alone.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 142%; mso-pagination: none;">

<span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 142%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-highlight: white;">In 2010, Chizellé landed on the literary scene with
authority, and it was with great fortitude that she penned her debut novel, <i>The Fearfully and Wonderfully Made Diamond</i>,
in which her life experiences have allowed her to grab hold and take nothing
less, realizing she is a Diamond! She continues the story in the sequel, <i>His Grace, His Blood, His Mercy!</i></span></div>

<strong>From Trust-less to Trustworthy - By: Yvette Wilson Bentley</strong>
"When I looked at my friendships with women and why I didn’t trust them, I realized that I had lots to unpack and examine. I was okay not trusting women, but I knew that living as a Christian meant that my attitude and mindset had to change. Was it something that I wanted to do? At first, absolutely not! But I knew that to be of service to God and His people, a change had to be made, so I became willing to be willing. "
<strong>Back At One - By: Kendy Ward</strong>
“God, You promised that if I served You, followed You with every fiber of my being, then You would restore my family. It’s been five years. I don’t doubt that You can do anything. You specialize in the impossible, but my faith is faltering.” Jason then prayed in his heavenly language.
I am not a man that I should lie. I will complete the good work I have begun.
Jason released a sigh of relief. “Thank You for hearing me. I’ll wait. However long it takes, I will wait.”
<strong>No Greater Love - By: Rita Moore</strong>
“A few weeks into my pregnancy the doctor told us, the medications I had been taking caused harm to our child, test showed abnormal fluid. He suggested we terminate the pregnancy, or prepare for a child with birth defects! I was devastated, but my husband reminded me of the God we serve! Abortion was not an option! We found a new doctor, a believer, a doctor who trusted the miracle working love of God! Nine months later we had a perfectly healthy baby girl!”
"On the day of my surgery, prior to being wheeled into surgery, the doctor took my hand and said, “It is my custom to pray with my patients prior to conducting surgery”. I have never known a doctor to do that! Everything happens for a reason. His prayer spoke of his faith and trust in God to guide his hands, and he prayed for my complete healing. I felt confident he was definitely the doctor I needed to perform the surgery. God said He perfects those things that concern us!”
<strong>Leap Into Your Destiny- By: Sherae Bell</strong>
One morning in late December, as I posted what I expected to be my last prayer to Facebook, my seven-year-old granddaughter, Anashija, ran into the room.
She stood beside me, put her arm around my neck and politely, but in a matter-of-fact manner, said, “Grandma, are you writing your God Notes?”
I did not realize that she had been paying attention. Surprised, I looked at her and said, “My God Notes?”
“Yes, Grandma, your God Notes!”
“Why did you call them my ‘God Notes’?”
She took a deep breathe, sighed and then said, “Grandma, because you write your notes to God every day.” She ran out of the room as if she had completed her mission to confirm that my postings had nothing to do with me and everything to do with God.
God’s timing is always perfect. Not until we acknowledge that it is just that, His timing, will we be able to live as He has designed. Every time I wanted to give up, He stopped me from waving the flag. I realized that God ordained my words. I knew that He had more work for me. God is faithful. He brings to fruition what He has ordained to be accomplished, no matter the package used to deliver it.
<strong>Courage To Stand- By Paulette Harper</strong>
Have you ever took a step of faith in what you believed you heard from God and got mid-way through and wanted to turn back, put the brakes on, put the car in reverse and start all over? You knew this was not the way you had envisioned your current situation. Everything you see before you tells you that somehow you’ve missed God. Fear settles in, doubt and anxiety comes knocking at your heart.
Prior to taking that step of faith, confidence in what you were doing was strong and un-quenching, yet all alone God knew exactly what trouble awaited you, what problems were in the making and He knew you would be in that place of doubt and disbelief.
In your mind, you began to question if God told you to do this, did you really hear God? For sure if God told you then there shouldn’t be any problems, no challenges, no regrets, right? On the contrary, it’s in those places that we can be assured that God has us right where He wants us. In places of trouble, in that wilderness, in that place where even His still quiet voice is not speaking. This place is where your faith will be stretched, the promises of God will be challenged or questioned. It’s in this place that going back seems like the better solution, at least that’s what your flesh wants you to believe. Clearly what’s in front is more difficult than what is behind.
<strong>First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage - By: Valerie J. Lewis-Coleman</strong>
All eyes were on Jeanine as she took slow orchestrated steps toward the altar. The beaded embellishments on her tailored gown glistened in the sunrays that beamed through the cathedral windows. Every strand of her short bob was in place, Mac makeup flawless. The elegant bouquet of fresh-cut flowers bombarded her senses. For a brief moment, she stopped, closed her eyes, inhaled. The pianist seemed to strike the keys in sync with her racing heart. She opened her eyes and gazed down the aisle to see the groom poised, ready to meet his bride. A full smile washed across her face, she steadied her breathing. As she walked toward him, acknowledging each friend and family member with a glance, slight grin and head nod, she whispered a prayer.
“Father, I thank You for this beautiful day. Everything is coming together as planned; even the weather is perfect. I ask Your grace upon this union. Let it flourish. Keep away the naysayers. Divorce is not an option as this marriage will represent Your unconditional love. I count my request as done. I just have one question: When will it be my turn as bride? I’m happy for my girl, but…I’m tired of being alone, crying myself to sleep. Smiling at every man I meet, hoping, praying that he’s the one. I love my nieces and nephews, but I’m ready to be a mother. The official has shot the gun to start the foot race and I’m stuck in the blocks watching my girlfriends run ahead with husbands in tow. Why am I still single? What is it about me that keeps me on this side of matrimony?”
As the tears flowed, Jeanine took her place, two bridesmaids from the bride. She dabbed at the tears with a monogrammed handkerchief provided by the groomsman who escorted her.
<strong>As I Look Back - by: LaDawn Michelle</strong>
When I first got clean from drugs I learned in order to positively deal with any feelings I must first identify them. Today there is a popular saying going around “I felt some type of way.” That phrase doesn’t do anything to promote healing. “I feel some type of way” does not identify a feeling. You cannot heal emotionally by identifying with “feeling some type of way.” The only thing the statement does is give a voice to the fact that there is a dysfunction in your emotions. We must be careful that we do not allow our spirits to latch onto the commonalities society gives us that do not promote good emotional health by handicapping us with catchy phrases that mean absolutely nothing once they are dissected. One of the first tools I was given when I got clean from drugs was a feeling words list. In order to embark on a journey of emotional healing, one of your first steps may be to get a feeling word list and use it.
<strong>Triumphant Victory - by: Kyna Williams</strong>
My mind had been tainted to believe that all the good things in life only happened for the pretty girls with long hair or the children with both parents in the home. I believed the world was filled with two categories of people. One category consisted of “THOSE OTHER PEOPLE” who seemingly have no problems, no hidden secrets, or shameful pasts that stripped them of the freedom to live the “Good Life.” The second category consisted of the broken souls, filled with hopelessness, like me. I was void of even the faintest perception that I would one day have the opportunity to be one of “THOSE OTHER PEOPLE.” I had decided within myself that I was damaged goods. I carried with me the weight of emotional baggage my secretive fragile past had attached to me, limiting my ability to dream of a future where I would be free to live the “Good Life” or any type of life that did not require me to mask who I felt I really was beneath the surface of my glamorous facade. If anyone were to find out who I really was beneath it all, it would certainly result in the complete ruin of the flawless public façade I had mastered displaying.

“I need you all to trust me,” Pastor Gaines said as he tensely tapped his fingers on the table, unamused by Deacon Clemmons’ humor. “And if that is too difficult, trust that God has put me over this congregation and trust that He won’t allow me to do anything that doesn’t align with His will. Can you all just do that?”
