Maria Mitchell, author of Divorce – An Emotional Intrusion
(The Trashy Novel Corp.)

Divorce – An Emotional Intrusion is a common-sense approach to relationships and marriage. It is not a “what to do” or a “how to” book. Instead, it deals with the realities of situations people innocently become involved in, in “the name of love”. This book points out that we, as intelligent humans, have control over our lives and our choices.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Divorce – An Emotional Intrusion?

Maria Mitchell: As a Paralegal, I assisted over 1,000 divorces and was very aware of the tangled emotions that surface in people when Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Maria Mitchell, author of Divorce – An Emotional Intrustion →

Rasheed Clark, author of Stories I Wouldn’t Tell Nobody But God
(March Third Imprints)

Stories I Wouldn’t Tell Nobody But God is an emotionally-charged story about four friends: Sista, Brian, Day and Nikki and the roller coaster ride that they call their lives.

Sista, who will lose the only man that she has ever truly loved, allows her weight to determine her self-worth.

Brian, who learns the hard way that a good woman isn’t hard to find, he just has to be man enough to keep her.

Day, who must learn to accept himself for who he is.

Nikki, whose perfect world is shattered when she chooses to love a man more than she has ever loved herself, despite his lying and cheating ways.

When people first read it, people kept saying that it was so good that they immediately compared it to Terry McMillan’s Waiting To Exhale. One person actually said, “Finally, somebody told the truth about the lies that we tell ourselves.” I felt blessed.

For me, I just wanted to write a book that was truly honest about love, family, relationships, acceptance and trust and put a voice to the frustration felt by millions of people, like me, who are looking for love in all of the wrong places.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Stories I Wouldn’t Tell Nobody But God?

Rasheed Clark: When I first decided to write this book, I had a story to tell. All that I have ever known are stories. From the stories that my mother read Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Rasheed Clark, author of Stories I Wouldn’t Tell Nobody But God →

(Prodigy Publishing Group)

Assistant United States Attorney Barnswell thinks that he has everything he needs to convict the Bezel Brothers. Dre and Kareem are on trial for allegedly violating a laundry list of statutes in the United States Code. Problem is, Kareem Bezel sees things quite differently and sets out to prove their innocence in the Philadelphia trial of the year: United States of America vs. Andre and Kareem Bezel, et al. Appropriately, someone must die in order for Kareem to get his way.
