Win Charles, author of I,Win

At age 24, I decided to tell my story. Writing this autobiography gave me the opportunity to pay tribute to my family members who are passionate about life and have instilled this passion in me. My parents’ extraordinary support, encouragement and pure love were my foundation as I navigated life, overcame obstacles and achieved successes as a young woman with cerebral palsy (CP).

I have to pay full tribute to my mother, who died in August 2010. From her, I learned to listen to my own voice as a guide to making life choices. She taught me to always expect the best from myself.

My hope is that this book will provide insight into the extraordinary possibilities that those who live with disabilities have. I also hope that those without disabilities – rather than putting a focus on our differences – will come to understand what we all have in common. This book is for my mom, with love.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “I,Win“?

Win Charles: “I,Win” is written in honor of my whole family who’ve supported me with my life with CP. It is also written  in honor of my amazing Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Win Charles, author of I,Win →

Raina Shaw, author of Ridiculous Situations (Expanded Second Edition)
(Createspace)

Having observed women (of all ages and ethnicities) and the way that they handle relationships, I’ve concluded that common sense ain’t so common.

“Ridiculous Situations”, gives thought provoking famous quotes about love, relationships, common sense and “real deal” revelation and advice from an author that talks the talk and walks the walk in her own relationships.

I put women up on the games that are played in the dating world. I urge them to take off that dress of desperation, take responsibility for the decisions that they make and step away from dysfunctional people and relationships. Some of my subjects include:

  • Don’t touch that 401K.
  • The Return of the old flame: Deal or No Deal?
  • The Back Child Support Payment Trap.
  • The “Stepping Stone” Relationship/Marriage.
  • The Male Roommate
  • And so much more.

Girls! Read it, and be prepared to hold out for the best… It’s better to be single than sorry.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Ridiculous Situations (Expanded Second Edition)”?

Raina Shaw: I am a hairstylist, and the salon is a place where women let their hair down and keep it real. There is no conversation that is off limits. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Raina Shaw, author of Ridiculous Situations →
