An Iconic Love 4: A Hood Romance


Shaytrece - 2016
    Love is planning Iconic’s 30th birthday party, which is also their going away party. Iconic felt his family had suffered, enough and it was time to make a move. Iconic, Love, the triplets, and baby Choice were all headed to Miami, and had no plans to look back. Things were good for them, and they made a vow to keep it that way, and a fresh start was what they needed … until Pam returned with information on Love’s father. The rest of the family didn’t want to see them leave, but they knew it was something they needed to do to strengthen their bond. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew tried to keep things together. Pooch and Queen had their son King, who was now two and bad as ever, but Pooch saw no wrongdoing; his favorite line to Queen was ‘He’s a boy, that’s what they do.’ That was their added chaos, and the fact that since their wedding, Pooch had been pushing for number two. Mama Toni and Ice were working out just fine now that she was running Iconic’s businesses full time. He could keep a close eye on her since the doctor was back at his old tricks. Mama Kash and Derrick were doing well, and maybe a little too well with the news they were about to deliver at their family cookout. Ice had some surprising news that could bring Kash’s world crashing down, and Kid would be right there by her side through it all. Sir and Ti-Ti were now parents of a baby boy, Sir ‘SJ’ James, and had sole custody of Sirenity. Ti-Ti talked Sir into allowing Sasha visitation with her daughter, but she didn’t appreciate it at all, and made a vow to show Sir and Ti-Ti just how she felt about it. Come and join the family as they go through their trials and tribulations, with the hopes of still coming out as a family.

What I Did Wrong


John Weir - 2006
    Now, Weir follows up with another terrifically moving- and often disarmingly funny-book about loss, survival, and sexuality in the post-AIDS era. Returning to a Manhattan haunted by the memory of all the young men who died in the late 1980s and early 90s, "What I Did Wrong" has at its heart a protagonist for whom that loss is still all too palpable. Tom, a forty-two-year-old English professor, watched his best friend die years earlier and now finds himself sliding into middle age while questioning everything he thought he knew about his "gay identity." His Queens College classes are filled with borough boys displaying their own bravado along with their confused masculinity. As Tom balances their friendship with the occasional displaced erotic overtones, he finds an unexpected common ground with these proud young men and, surprisingly, claims his place in the world and in history. "What I Did Wrong" is a dazzling work juxtaposing low comedy and heartfelt tragedy with astonishing finesse, a book worthy of John Weir's return to fiction that will be warmly welcomed by critics and readers alike.

The Emperor of Water Clocks


Yusef Komunyakaa - 2015
    But Ulysses (or his half brother) is but one of the beguiling guises Komunyakaa dons over the course of this densely lyrical book. Here his speaker observes a doomed court jester; here he is with Napoleon, as the emperor "tells the doctor to cut out his heart / & send it to the empress, Marie-Louise"; here he is at the circus, observing as "The strong man presses six hundred pounds, / his muscles flexed for the woman / whose T-shirt says, these guns are loaded"; and here is just a man, placing "a few red anemones / & a sheaf of wheat" on Mahmoud Darwish's grave, reflecting on why "I'd rather die a poet / than a warrior." Through these mutations and migrations and permutations and peregrinations there are constants: Komunyakaa's jazz-inflected rhythms; his effortlessly surreal images; his celebration of natural beauty and of love. There is also his insistent inquiry into the structures and struggles of power: not only of, say, king against jester but of man against his own desire and of the present against the pernicious influence of the past. Another brilliant collection from the man David Wojahn has called one of our "most significant and individual voices," The Emperor of Water Clocks delights, challenges, and satisfies.

The sequel, Freya: The Confession (an Amish Short Story, Book 2), is NOW AVAILABLE: http://a.co/57nBVCA Download three free books at www.ashleyemmaauthor.com. Editorial Reviews "This short story...carries the message of hope and forgiveness when all seems amiss. Freya Wilson has been in an abusive relationship. Heading for Unity, Maine, her life takes an unexpected turn during a snow storm. As a result of this turn, the next couple of years are spent in contemplation and I would imagine misery on her part. The question is whether or not Freya will be able to set her heart and mind free from a tragedy? For me, the story shows compassion, forgiveness and above all hope in humanity. Sharing with another also makes life's journeys so much easier. Highly recommended." --Off Grid...And Loving It..., Amazon Top 500 Reviewer “I LOVE these Amish books by Ashley Emma. They not only grab your interest and keep you reading, they give you a feel like you know a few Amish people and care about them. This is the most powerful step to understanding a culture different from your own. Thanks, Ashley, you have broadened my horizons and you made it fun on the way! There is also a homespun gentleness and honesty about the spiritual side of these differences. If everyone acted like this, Christianity would have a better world view and there would be less hatred in the world. There is nothing more we could ask for from a few books!” --Chris McKay Pierce, author of Customer Service can be Murder "...Ashley keeps you wanting more with every sentence that she writes! This book was no different. Don't miss this great story about Freya, you won't be disappointed. I will anxiously await for another great story!" -Toni F., Amazon Customer

But she knew at least two people who would say, “Go Maggie!” Her now-departed husband and her estranged youngest son. And God. Yes, Maggie had a sense God was up to something. Accompanied by her dog and an unexpected runaway, Maggie sets out on an unforgettable journey, and invites YOU to come along for the ride. “It’s okay to look behind you. Sometimes it’s the best way to get yourself home.” —An African saying

Two Sisters


Mary Hogan - 2014
    Single, twenty-three, she’s living in a New York City rent-stabilized walk-up, a bird’s nest of an apartment outfitted as much by serendipity as by intent: note the three-legged bedside table, her squat hand-painted pine dresser, a splotchy framed mirror, the spindled bathroom corner shelf—all found curbside on garbage day.Her perfect older sister, Pia, lives in an endless house in Connecticut with her handsome, thick-haired husband, Will, her tween daughter, Emma, and a frothy, russet-colored Labradoodle named Root Beer. Pia is altogether Muriel’s opposite. Muriel eats takeout from the carton; Pia makes salads from the microgreens in her garden. Pia takes “me” time to pray and do yoga. She believes every word in the bible, her faith pure and unquestioning. Pia is remarkably like their mother, Lidia. Or so Lidia would have Pia believe. Muriel knows better. Years earlier she discovered the truth about her mother’s lies—not that she’ll ever tell.The story begins on an ordinary Saturday which turns out to be anything but. When Pia calls Muriel out of the blue, Muriel expects the same lecture about slimming down, toning up, highlighting her hair, getting a better job, and moving into an elevator building. Only this time it’s different. Distressingly so. Pia takes the train into the city to visit her sister and leave her with—yet another—terrible secret she is sworn to keep.
