Edwin Haynes’ “You Have Permission to Succeed” offers solid advice in a concise package. There is no filler. There are no wild and zany ideas to conceptualize. Haynes brings laws of Christianity, economics and common sense together to explain the foundation of his second rise to multi-millionaire status.

“Between Boyfriends” is about a 21-year-old who realizes that she is way too boy crazy after her latest mistake callously dumps her. She discovers her unhealthy pattern of jumping from relationship to relationship with whomever she can get.

Jan’s mother then discovers that her daughter is no longer enrolled in college when a hot new guy from her massage school accidentally lets the secret slip. In response, Mrs. Weston cuts Jan off.

Now Jan has to figure out how to pay her bills, define herself without a guy and be a better person while surviving one hilarious situation after another. Life is tough when you don’t know who you are.

“Between Boyfriends” is a book for every woman who has ever felt unloved, who has ever put someone else down to make herself feel better (and felt terrible about it), who has ever tried to change to make a guy happy, and who doesn’t have the support system that everyone else takes for granted.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Between Boyfriends”?

Sarka-Jonae Miller: Mainly from friends in high school and college. I knew a few girls who could never be single. They were always chasing some guy, talking Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Sarka-Jonae Miller, author of Between Boyfriends →

“Black Diamond 3: Lucky Chance” is the third installment of this drama filled saga. In Part 3, two years have passed. Diamond and Black have been living comfortably in their high-rise condo with their daughter, Dior. They’ve left the drug business behind them and have enough money to continue their lavish lifestyle without going back to the streets to re-up.

With the loss of his sister Mica, Johnny can feel nothing but rage for the woman he once loved. Now he plans to strip her of everything that she loves. From behind bars on his death bed, he sets a plan in motion that will tear apart Diamond’s world and force her to return to the life that she left behind.

Fighting to survive, Diamond almost gives up – until a mystery man enters her life. She believes he will save the day. But is he genuine? Or just another person out to teach Diamond a lesson?
