NAN: The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones, is the riveting story
of a troubled black male from Brooklyn, New York that was forced underground
after warring with a corrupt NYPD unit in the 1980Â’s. Fortunately for Nathan
Jones (also known as Nan), he survived the attempt to end his life, and lived to
tell his tale.
But, his story is not unlike many urban tales today, where the prevalence of
corruption and greed result in the demise of many innocent individuals. Often
times, our youth find themselves entrapped by the powers that be to their own
detriment. In the case of Nathan Jones, when Five-0 came gunning for him, he
refused to become another statistic.
But, to understand what Nan became, you have to take the time to fully
understand what he was forced to become. At the tender age of thirteen, Nan
witnessed the brutal murders of his parents, at the hands of a drug crazed PCP
addict. This tragic event resulted in his childhood being stolen from him, and
what remained of his teenage years being spent in an orphanage.
As he struggled to deal with his loss, a police officer named Mark Carson
entered his life and became the father figure that he desperately needed. He was
also introduced to another youth, named Joseph Hayes who happened to be an
orphan as well. Their bond was immediately cemented, when they both discovered
that they shared an unfortunate similarity. On the same fateful night, the same
man murdered both of their parents.
The two youths became inseparable blood brothers, with Mark Carson serving as
their mentor and surrogate father. Unfortunately, as the prospects for the
future began to look more promising, tragedy rears its ugly head once again.
This time, Nan is reeled into a deadly game of cat and mouse that threatens to
destroy everything around him.
NAN: The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones, is a compelling tale, written exactly
as it was told to Moses Miller. Intelligent Urban Fiction.

Nathan James Morris: a talented, ambitious black kid from P.G.
County, Maryland. He wants to be an illustrator. But at 19, he has been expelled
from Freedom College for alleged misconduct. He has few friends, aside from the
parasitic Guy Sellers; and save for his scholarship's chump change, even fewer
dollars. Hurt, angry, and in desperate need of cash, he joins the Marines. "The
road to manhood is paved with tanks and convoys!" he loudly boasts. But he soon
discovers that his own road has been paved with far more unpleasant things:
whimsical officers, endless bomb attacks, disease, an unbelievable desolation.
After the military, his road gets rockier....an unhappy reuniting with family,
friends and fiancee....a kidnapping in Turkey ....violent confrontations with
neo-Nazis and racist North Africans....his studies and miseries at C.S.U.,
America's most prestigious black university, and his final days in a DC slum, as
witness to (and participant in) the wild destruction of his older brother's
marriage, with a little help from the one 'friend' who never seems to leave him
be: Guy Sellers. At turns eloquent, elegant, explosive, raw, obscene, shockingly
brutal and wildly funny, NATE is a brilliant meditation on what it means to be
young, black and male in today's world.
Make sure that you are strapped in good for the roller coaster
ride of your life to a world of the bizarre. As your tour guide, the narrator,
Moe Sr., bares his naked soul; raw and uncut, as his faith, will, and values are
tested at every turn as he navigates his way through the maze we call, life.
In this spellbinder, which is laced with satire and suspense, he addresses the
subject of the dysfunctional family. This book is crammed with drama; his
relationship with Vera and her family; with his first wife, Thelma; his
struggles as a single parent; arresting his own demons; and his liberation from
a grave of death and ignorance.
This book is a story of devotion and deceit, suicide, alcoholism, the occult,
murder for hire, and incarceration and redemption. Furthermore, this book is a
story of love and hatred, of the unloved who betray those whom they pretend to
love, confession and forgiveness, and eventually, overcoming the odds.
On the cover, he is draped in the American flag that is fashioned in a
straightjacket. This symbolism, he states, is not a condemnation of America, but
a stark reminder to her of her own dysfunctional behavior; past and present, and
to also remind her that the people are the physicians (“We the people”), forever
prescribing the Constitution as a prescription for healing.
Finally, this book is a testament to the spirit of the human condition and the
power of change. “Cogito Ergo Sum!”/ “I think. Therefore I must
exist!”-Descartes. SIGN OUR GUEST BOOK

Knife

One chief of surgery had informed them, with pride, during
rounds one day that General Surgery was the cream of the crop as far as the
medical specialties was concerned. Another, her mentor and friend, had warned
that she, as a black woman who had chosen General Surgery as a career, would
have a cross to bear. The third, Chief of Surgery at the prestigious Christian
University Hospital, had announced at General Surgery rounds one bright Saturday
morning that a woman’s place was in the kitchen. She had persevered and
fulfilled her dreams of becoming a board-certified general surgeon, which
allowed her to be admitted to Christian’s General Surgery staff. First Knife is
the story of the cross that was hers to bear, the massive opposition, in all of
its ruthlessness, which she encountered, and how the most crushing defeat that
befell her was turned into victory.
Pamela Lynnette Crosby wants it all; the dream job, a home of
her own and the top of the line car to enhance her image but the one thing she
can do without is a man. Everything else has made her list of priorities but the
idea of a romantic love interest never made the cut. Men in Pamela’s eyes are
good for carrying luggage or giving her passionate sexual attention. Once they
have finished their appointed tasks she no longer has use for them until her
needs arise again.
Anthony Kyle Waters knows how to get the things that he wants with his
persistent attitude and sweet charming ways. Nothing or no one could challenge
him that is until he set his sights on Pamela, the one who can take or leave
him. There is nothing he wouldn’t do to hold on to her, love her and make her
feel completely desirable. She becomes his greatest quest and number one
priority.
Question is how far should they go for love? When are the matters of the heart
matters of life or death? The thin line between love and hate is crossed when
the lives of these two lovers make drastic unexpected turns for the good, the
bad and the down right ugly.
Set in modern-day Hollywood, California,
Sex, Cheese and French Fries takes a witty look at relationships, using as its
premise an American woman’s life with an irreverent Frenchman named Pierre
Bonsoirno.
This new book by Carine Fabius was published in June 2006 by Kouraj Press, and

from Mercy

$12.95
Mercy, Georgia seems like the perfect place to both raise
children and to take life one day at a time. Just a short drive from Atlanta,
visiting is akin to taking a giant step back in time, to the days when children
enjoyed the outdoors, neighbors were friends and everyone knew everyone else's
business. It is a small town full of hardworking, well-meaning people. They look
out for each other and they look out for the children running and playing along
their quiet streets.
They looked out for Pamela and Paris Mayes, the orphaned twins who were raised
in the town's children's home, and the only thing they expected in return was
for the girls to stay close and make something of themselves. The last thing
anyone expected was for Pam to jump on the first thing smoking and leave town
for good.
Pam said she left to pursue her music career and since she is a celebrated
recording artist, it's a plausible story. But there are things she isn't saying,
circumstances she never talks about and deeper reasons for her refusal to return
to Mercy. When Paris is killed in a tragic accident, Pam has no choice but to
return and face everything she left behind. Everyone has questions; the lover
she left behind, the niece she loves more than she can ever say and the new man
she meets shortly after arriving in town. They all want to know why she never
came back.
It's the diary that does the talking for her though, the one Paris kept and the
one Pam passed on to her sister's daughter as a keepsake. Pam has no idea that
the diary holds all of her secrets and before long the people who matter have
the answers they've always wanted. Confrontations and accusations come at Pam
from all directions and this time running from Mercy isn't as simple as it was
all those years ago. In fact, it isn't even an option. SIGN OUR GUEST BOOK

Blood My Sweat Her Tears
by Talli J. McFadden -Baby Love Entertainment/Trade Paper- $15.00
This is the first of a three-book series based
on a true story about a young street hustler, destined to be King, his eventual
rise and inevitable fall, and the struggles in between.
This story
primarily set in West Philadelphia gives you the game on all levels: sex, money,
murder, drugs, power and deceit. It encompasses a young black man's vision of
his American Dream, the good, the bad and the ugly that goes hand in hand with
it. This page-turning novel will leave you breathless-and begging for more!
Welcome to the world of
Malacia Logan, a young and vibrant jewel thief from the gangland streets of The
City of Brotherly Love. Daily stealing sprees keep any chance for closure on a
life of crime just beyond the reach of her greedy fingertips. With narrow
escapes and crafty little schemes, Malacia and her partners are determined to
make their biggest score.
Malacia finds that diamonds are not always a girl’s best friend, when she is
betrayed by her partner and best friend Dawn, who has dreams and agendas of her
own. Malacia vows to make a smooth exit from the robbery game, but she needs one
more mission to complete the last route.
Will she make it? Or will she forever live the life of a high-class jewel thief?
The Last Route, like the life it describes, is full of twists, turns, and
unpredictable complexities. And, like the champagne life of a jewel thief, it is
easy to pick up but hard to put down.
Play by play, author Landa Hawkins captures the true essence of the romantic
rush of stealing. Her account of sex, betrayal, and games - in which people’s
lives become the chess pieces - was inspired by a true story. But it was never
meant to be revealed beyond the inner circle of real life players.
The route game was meant to be sold - but never told. And Hawkins has told it
with soul. SIGN OUR GUEST BOOK
Street
Team
by Joe Black -Hampstead Publishing/Trade Paper- $15.00
An edgy,
fast paced, gritty novel about four childhood friends who, at young ages, take
the crack game by storm. The story takes place in Bronx, New York during the
late '80's and early '90's when the epidemic was at its peak.
Eventually their criminal activities draw the fed's attention and their
friendship and loyalty to one another are put to the ultimate test. Street team
illustrates the reality of the game, the streets, and the wicked federal court
system.
JOE BLACK
--- is known from coast to coast, throughout the system as a legend. Born in the
Bronx, NY, raised by the streets and educated in the School of Hard Knocks, Joe
Black has experienced it all. Starting his career early on as a Street Hustler,
Joe was indicted in 1992 by the federal government on crack conspiracy in North
Carolina. Locked down for a 20- year bid, Joe decided to "escape" his
incarceration by exercising his mind and body in educational and vocational
programs offered by the federal prison system.
A prison basketball gangsta, Joe has won 12 championship Bureau Of Prison games
and played with greats like The ABUSER, JOE JESUS and Big L.A, Rodney ROGERS and
Rod STRICKLAND.
Joe also received a Bachelor's of Arts degree while incarcerated, and has been
published in SLAM, KING and Don Diva Magazines. He has also been featured on
Hoopshype.com and has his own website at Illstreetz.com
"I grabbed my pen and pad and made it happen," says Joe. Frustrated with the
lack of literature that spoke to those incarcerated, Joe penned Street Team, a
true gangsta novel, that his people on lock down could relate to. Due to be
released in 2008, Joe's passion for writing good street novels has transcended
into a desire to succeed outside the penitentiary walls. With two new books
scheduled to be released in 2005, Joe Black will undoubtedly pursue his book
game as diligently and thoroughly as he did the drug and basketball game. Look

learns to rationalize his father’s indiscretions, citing the joy of sex as
reason enough to cheat.

classmate, Sephus "Hammer" Johnson. Though Hammer is from a different family
background that Justin, the two become close friends While in high school,
Justine becomes a young sexual guru, advising his peers on how to successfully
bed a woman. Picking up the father’s negative traits, Justin gets a girlfriend
pregnant, sleeps with his mother’s ex-friend and gets bet up by his cheerleader
lover’s older, stronger boyfriend.
