Wanda B. Campbell, editor of Home Again: Stories of Restored Relationships
(Micah 6:8 Books, LLC )

Home Again: Stories of Restored Relationships is a compelling journey into the relationships that matter most: family, friends and self. Each story is founded on natural love, but will require the Father’s love to heal the brokenness.

In the anthology, relationship is not limited to male/female romance, and ‘home’ is not limited to a physical building. Home is an institution where we are loved and cared for…a place of genuine affection and security. Ironically, it can also be the source of our greatest heartaches and biggest disappointments.

Travel with husbands and wives, brothers, sisters, friends and families as they maneuver through life’s hurts and betrayals while leaning on a power greater than themselves.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the idea and inspiration to pull together Home Again: Stories of Restored Relationships?

Wanda Campbell: The Home Again anthology deals with an issue that is very dear to me: family relationships. It has always been my belief that family relationships help Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Wanda B. Campbell, editor of Home Again: Stories of Restored Relationships →

Jacob “JB” Burrage, author of Caught Up
(J. Burrage Publications, LLC)

Jeremiah Blackwood is a young, dark and very eligible bachelor who is trying to defy the odds of the stereotypical black man in the dirty south and overcome the small-town mentality that constantly threatens his success. Through hard work and determination, he honed his craft as a writer and began making his mark in the community when he met a caramel complexioned girl who could make Buffy the Body look like Miss Celie in The Color Purple.

She seemed so innocent the first time they met. Her beautiful brown eyes beckoned him into her lonely soul. Her smile was enticing, yet friendly. He knew she was the woman of his dreams. Much to his surprise, he found that not only was she far from perfect, but soon realized that she was involved in some things bigger than he could wrap his small mind around.

Find out what happens when a man gets caught up in a tangled web of lust, lies, and unadulterated drama.
