ABOUT THE BOOK...

Abandoned Secrets: Lost Souls (Abandoned Secrets), is a captivating story of a woman who struggles with her mother’s abandonment. “It’s a relateable story. Anyone who has ever felt abandoned or even alone will see themselves in Monroe’ (the main character).” This novel follows behind Abandoned Secrets (part 1).

 WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT WAS YOUR DAUGHTER?

Elizabeth’s 15-year-old daughter never made it home from school. She disappeared into thin air and her body was never found. For Elizabeth, the only thing worse than losing her daughter was not knowing what happened to her. Frustrated with the police for not providing enough answers, Elizabeth sets out on a journey of her own. When she learns the devastating truth of Ana’s disappearance she seeks out the one person who can help her…Monroe Connors. 

     WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT WAS YOUR MOTHER?

Monroe’s name and face has been splayed over news channels all over the world as the woman who single handedly exposed the Las Vegas human trafficking operation. However, the praise she’s been receiving does not sit well with her because she is aware that the threat of danger isn’t over. When confronted with an ultimatum, Monroe realizes that she must make a choice: Justice for her mother or justice for all.

      WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT WAS YOUR LIFE?

Monroe and Elizabeth come together in this chilling sequel as two women determined to save their loved ones but what started out as a common goal quickly turns into a game of Russian roulette. They must choose to save a mother, a daughter or themselves.

Double Take: Copy Kat Book Cover Designs

I discovered a strange coincedence, book covers that are similar or using the same artwork. Is it that there are just so many books and not enough unique ideas? Like the old school music remixed with the new music today. Is it better to have one attention getting cover idea recycled continuously than have a hideous cover? I tend to think that similar book covers will lead me to believe that i've already read or brought the book. In my quest for answers to these questions, I discovered that recycled covers may not be an author's issue, but a publishers issue. The art is stock and publishers have no idea that another publishing company may have used the same artwork. Is it innocent coincedence or great minds thinking alike? Simon & Schuster seems to be the biggest abuser according to these few books. Omar Tyree's What They Want (Simon & Schuster, 2006). Loving his life of carefree travel and insecure women, male model Terrance Mitchell experiences profound guilt whe

Life After Whitney Houston

As I was listening to the Tom Joyner Morning Show this morning in the car, an interview with Cissy Houston. A question was asked of her whether she knew that BeBe Winans also wrote a book on his relationship with Whitney and had she given permission to pen this book. Cissy replied that she was aware of the books release and that she firmly said "No", "I did not give him permission to write the book". In her words, she states that it was just "HIS side of the story", being that he was a friend of Whitney's. I'm certain that from now to eternity, we will hear all versions of her life's downfall from grace from very many sources. The question is, "Who's account of Whitney's trials, tribulations and triumphs are you most likely to believe?". I personally, would like to read both accounts and not weigh heavy on one viewpoint over the other because emotions are involved and I'm sure neither person wants the memory of Whitney&#
