King James and Bobby Rodgers, author of Tangled Webs
(Underground Publishing)

Tangled Webs is a book written by two unique authors. The first story is called The Perfect Life. This tale is about Rene Carter and two of her closest friends. Rene is a well-respected Baltimore City police officer who is very good at her job. She is married, and her husband is a well-known attorney who loves her dearly and worships the ground she walks on.

Rene is living the perfect life, but she has a dark side. The only people who know her secret are Tonya Lewis and Rhonda Harris who are also police officers. Rhonda resents everything about her and would love to see her fall flat on her face.

The second story is called Imitation. Stacie Sims is an up and coming emergency room physician. She has a loving fiancé named Billy Addams. Billy is the son of a wealthy business man. He is the perfect man for Stacie, but he is hiding a dark secret from her.

So sit back and enjoy the worlds of Rene and Stacie who both quickly learn that life can get tangled like a spider’s web.

Happy Birthday Joey Pinkney… 1-2-12

4 Comments

Today is my birthday.

Because of my sense of humor, I posted this random statement:

“Happy Birthday to Joey Pinkney from the staff of JoeyPinkney.com: Me, Myself and I.”

I was overwhelmed by the response that it got from my associates and friends on Twitter and Facebook. No matter how artificial people make online connections and friends out to be, there are some genuine, heartfelt birthday wishes that floated my way.

My mother called me. It doesn’t get any more genuine than that. And she pointed something out to me. Today is 1-2-12, as one “one two, one two.” I like stuff like that!

I decided to flex my poetry/rap skills with this short ditty:

One two, one two…
It’s JP. In the place to be…
And it goes a little something like this…

Life is a treasure, a pleasure that is measured
in forever getting better and giving up never
Trips around the sun, having fun is number one
It’s not about the end, it’s what you do before your done
To see another January Second is a blessing
Live long and prosper and learn from life’s lessons
I’ve cried tears through the years and laughed more than often
Won some, lost some, yet God’s gift is awesome

5 Minutes, 5 Questions With…
Naseera, author of Kidra
(Keith Publications)

Kidra is about a woman who has had her destiny laid out for her the minute she was born. She is plunged into a world of Vampires, blood, lust, hunger and thirst, and the knowledge that she is Dracula’s daughter from Africa.

For the second time in her existance, she finds Micheal, a man that she has chosen to love for all eternity, but there is one problem. A  Vampire named Mattheu, that she rejected long ago, wants revenge for the pain and suffering her rejection of him has cost him.

Mattheu blames Kidra for his plight. If she won’t give herself willingly to him, Kidra will have no other. Mattheu has decided that Kidra’s death would be his satisfaction in spite of the fact that he is in love with her, too.

“I will always love you”…. Sometimes, we suffer because we love. There are different types of love… The love for what you have, the love for what you lost, and the love of what you want. Kidra has faced all of this. She has lived out her life in fear. In fear of wanting, yearning and desire, for all eternity.

With all her wealth, with all her powers, there’s the one thing she doesn’t have: the right to love and hold on to it. Mattheu, because she spurned him, will see to it that not only will she never love, but she must die to avenge his plight. He too suffers from love…..
