Half the Mother, Twice the Love: My Journey to Better Health with Diabetes Feature

As a talk-show host and inspirational speaker, Mother Love used to have to just grin and bear it -- all that extra weight and the poor health that went along with it. Today she can truly smile as she serves up sound advice with big portions of humor in her new book about better living and good health that can turn your life around just like it did hers. Half the Mother, Twice the Love tells about the major weight loss Mother Love achieved over the last three years to reverse the decline in her health and regain control over her life. She went from size 22 to size 10 using a multitiered approach that included exercise, diet, and other lifestyle adjustments, and all her secrets are here in this informative and uplifting book.

Half the Mother, Twice the Love speaks to everyone who wants the good life without the bad habits that can make us tired, overweight, and eventually ruin our health. Part memoir and part self-help, this book teaches you how to learn from the mistakes which almost cost Mother Love her life. In the end, she may be half the woman she used to be, but she can give twice as much love as ever.

Farewell to the Old Me ~I Love you, D~: The Final Chapter of Empty Promises Feature

This isn't your typical novel. The events are very real; the emotions quite tangible. In this story, first time author, Daniela DuCasse, takes readers on a journey, her journey, of an unusual love affair. As a young girl from Haiti, DuCasse witnessed her family dynamics revealing rather mixed messages on life. From her experience, she learned on her own how to love and be loved. Then, she discovered a longtime friend wanted her as so much more. After being cautious for several months, she decides to follow her heart. Was her decision sound? Does this union end up as happily ever after? Read this diary-style saga and find out! You'll cry, you'll cheer, you'll gasp in disbelief, but you'll be glad Ducasse had the courage to share her story. When reading this story, picture the words coming from a woman plopping down on her bed when she has a moment and pouring out her thoughts on the days' events. The words are pure and sincere. You feel her pain and feel her triumphs; you feel her in the book, you get a genuine feel of WHO she is.

If Ever Again...It'll Be For Love Feature

After her divorce, Diane faced the daunting foreboding challenges of establishing a happy and meaningful life for herself, finding new friends, starting a new career, maintaining difficult but legally necessary contact with her ex, and reconnecting with her alcoholic mother. The only bright spot was Becca, her adorable five-year-old daughter, who preserved love and joy in her heart. A facial scar from an auto accident haunted her, but not simply cosmetically and emotionally. It helped to justify staying where she was comfortable - alone. She knew what she wanted, and needed, but obsessive worries - Am I worthy? Am I good enough? Can I trust him? Can I rust myself? - sabotaged her hopes and plans. She was ready to quit trying. Out of the blue, she won a one-week vacation in Jamaica, where Michael came into her life. He rekindled awareness of her womanhood and made her confront her doubts, jealousies and fears. When he held her, kissed her and made love to her, she thought, "If ever again. it'll be for love."

Morticians In Love Feature

"In the midst of death, there is life and love-sacred, profane, unrequited and almost always dysfunctional-in Christi Stewart-Brown's very black, five-character comedy (counting two corpses). Scarcely fare for the squeamish, with its excursions into heterosexual and homosexual couplings among the living and dead, the play nonetheless comes off as a caustic, funny, sharp-eyed and skillfully performed autopsy on the difficulties of love...Morticians in Love may be morbid, but it has a heart." -The New York Times "...a morbid, pervy, and very funny farce...Sure, it's strange, but strangely touching too." - The Washington Post

When Love Calls, You Better Answer Feature

The author of the hit Redemption Song returns with a sparkling new novel about looking for love in all the wrong places—and with all the wrong people.

Full of spirit and wisdom, the novels of Bertice Berry bring to life a rich tapestry of human experience. Now she turns her eye to matters of the heart, with an endearing main character who can’t seem to keep bad men out of her life.

Bernita Brown is a quick-thinking, tireless social worker who is good at practically everything—except love. Her first marriage ends in divorce, a painful experience Bernita refuses to think about. Instead, she dives into a series of sad relationships and overwhelming commitments to community and church. But not even church can keep her from being courted by dogs; Bernita’s married pastor begins making passes at her, then blames her for his backsliding. Along the way, the ghost of Bernita’s aunt Babe weighs in with plenty of advice (after all, Aunt Babe says, “You don’t need to be alive to tell folks how to live”). When a marvelous man finally enters Bernita’s life, only time can tell whether she will be able to trust him.

Written with Berry’s signature warmth and reliance on African-American ancestors who deliver homespun healing, When Love Calls, You Better Answer addresses a host of powerful topics, from abusive relationships to corrupt church leaders. Ultimately, Bernita’s story will inspire readers to find the love they need, especially the love that can only come from within.

There he finds himself playing roles he never would have thought possible. In his most hilarious book since Handling Sin, Michael Malone has created a story as wildly funny as it is profoundly wise.
