Get “Wired” – Book Feature

Thriller author and Political Columnist, Martha Randolph Carr, is the author of “Wired”. It’s a murder thrill ride with bodies popping up everywhere!

Read a small excerpt:

Charlie stared at Mary Elizabeth’s back through the little bit of light coming in through the window. Didn’t mean to knee her, but then didn’t exactly pull back once he realized she was closer than he though. He felt her body stiffen instantly and saw her move away from him. His stomach backed up a little and a bitter, hot taste entered his mouth, mixed with a small giddiness. That must have really given her back a little twang, he thought.

He hated the way she slept with her back to him. Couldn’t even cuddle around her like a spoon. Every time he tried she’d complain that he was on her hair or was breathing hot air right into her face, or something. Now when he’d get the urge he’d think twice and stare at her back. Some people stared out windows or at least into empty space. Charlie stared at Mary Elizabeth.

This morning he woke up with a different kind of urge. He knew that if he got up and peed it would subside but it wasn’t what he wanted. He wanted to hold Mary Elizabeth and move inside of her. He really wanted her to move back but the light seemed to intimidate her. She wouldn’t even look into his eyes. And after jabbing her like that she’d probably find the nerve to just flat out refuse him.

Good morning, sweet baby, he could mumble in her ear and try to wedge his hand down between her legs. Give her little kisses on the side of her face. Good morning. She would stiffen, tuck her chin down, and tell him no. No, like, you understand why, no. Better not to start.

You catch her in the darkness though, especially the pitch dark, ain’t-nobody-moving-dark and the tables were turned, thought Charlie. Sometimes he’d been in a deep sleep and felt something holding onto his penis, warm and tight. The first time it happened he felt absolute terror but when he felt the sudden fall of hair against his thighs and realized it was Mary Elizabeth, he felt awe.

He’d barely see her every time, staring down at him in the darkness. Feel her steady an arm, looking for support. Breasts rubbed against his legs, his body, never a face looking up toward him. And when he came in a long push and in her mouth no less, she stretched herself out and climbed back to her side, her left side. Didn’t say a word.

Occasionally in the darkness she mounted him, her feet firmly planted on either side of his hips and he felt the slap of her bottom rhythmically hitting each thigh. He loved that feeling, and it made him want to touch her body. Feel his way around in the blackness, but he knew. This was her show. Better to just leave it alone.

Anyway, he thought, his eyes refocusing on the back of her cotton nightgown, his mind coming back to the present, not now. Nope.

He swung his legs around to his side of the bed and gave the old four poster bed a bounce as he pushed off. He knew that would get under her skin too.

Why do I do stupid shit like that? Who knows, who cares.

He walked over to the pair of shorts he’d left on the rocking chair and slid them on, careful to tuck everything inside.

Once he’d been in a hurry and the smallest amounts of skin got nipped by the zipper. That’s all, nipped. He did a high-steppin’ two step all around the bedroom with his eyes shut so tight he could see white light. That time, Mary Elizabeth stared at him.

The air felt a little warm already. It was mid-June. The floor was a little cool under his feet, but Charlie could tell. Another muggy Saturday and a yard to mow, oooh, boy. Matthew met him in the hallway his hair was sticking out in the back and he was wearing just his underwear. Some cartoon warrior snarling on the seat of them surround by gold glitter. All of his underwear was like that. Mary Elizabeth refused to buy him white shorts.

Book: Fatal February

Fatal February is the first in the Mary Magruder Katz crime novel series by retired Miami circuit court judge, Barbara Levenson.  This is the perfect book for anyone who loves drama, romance, murder and suspense all wrapped into one book.

The story begins with Mary Magruder Katz being rear-ended on the way out of the car wash, by a handsome stranger that turns into a romance as steamy as the Miami Beach setting. An impromptu tryst with the handsome stranger in her law office leads to not only the loss of her job but the end of her longtime engagement to a fellow lawyer.

As Mary begins to build her practice from the ground up, she finds herself involved in a dangerous murder investigation with a rich widow.  This fragile woman proves to be more than what she appears and brings Mary along for the ride.

This book was a wonderful read and I definitely was sad when I came to the end. But the best part is that this was only the beginning.  I look forward to reading the next installment of the Mary Magruder Katz series, Justice in June.

Book: White Collar Woman

“As I began to write, I had to strip away my own personal views and sit in the passenger seat. I had to view the many women that have an impact in my life. It was at that point that I realized that men and women share the same battles of being in a relationship and I also seen that, in the end, we are all human-beings.” - Nicholas Maze

Flint, Michigan native, Nicholas L. Maze is the new urban author of, White Collar Woman.  White Collar Woman is a romance/fiction, based on the life of a young, black, successful woman. The author is a young, black man. Some people may question whether a man can honestly write about the life of a woman.

Instead of testing the waters, Nicholas dives head first and talks about a woman’s battle with love. In most stories, people may see a man as the dominant figure, but in White Collar Woman, the woman is calling the shots. Marla Evans, the lead character, sits at the head of the table picking and choosing whom she may.

“An Honest Ho” Official Sneak Peek

An Honest Ho

Vashti is a ho, but she’s a good ho, a safe ho if that makes any sense. She’ll fuck a married man, a minister, or your boyfriend; it doesn’t matter. If she wants him nine times out of ten she will get him. Especially the ministers, they’re always extra freaky. It must be the God in them.

Vashti is gorgeous, sweet, and sex crazed. The one thing about her that you can respect is the fact that she always has safe sex and if a brotha is not down for it he has to step aside with a hard dick in hand. Most importantly, Vashti is honest about her HIV positive status.

You may be thinking “How in the hell could she always have safe sex if she has HIV?” Follow along and you’ll understand.

She wasn’t a street ho or at the Bunny Ranch waiting for men to drop their seed for a fee. She was a professional at sex; nasty, low down, filthy sex. Vashti knew there was power in fucking. It had to be because her dad once done anything her mom asked with the promise of pussy at sundown. Also, in high school Vashti overheard a group of male peers admit that as long as a chick is fucking them when, where, and how they want there was nothing they would refuse her.

Vashti learned at an early age that she held true power between her legs and was on a mission to make every man she fucked weak in the knees. Vashti didn’t dress the part of a ho and she wasn’t paid for her services, but she played the role by definition. She also never fucked the same man twice. That’s right, if you got her once you were lucky or unlucky depending on how you looked at the situation.

The story behind Vashti’s current safe sexual behavior lies in her volatile behavior of the past. She would use sex as a weapon having it often and with many different partners unprotected. Men would develop feelings for her and she would use that to destroy them with her sexual prowess and they’d never hear from her again. That sounds dramatic, but Vashti was a bad bitch.

However, she was not so smart; she had forgotten what she learned in high school about a man doing anything for you if you pleased him sexually. After all, what can you gain when you disappear immediately after a man cums? Not a damn thing, except a preventable and incurable STD such as HIV.

As you can imagine Vashti’s fan club grew quite large. She never gave or received a phone number or any other contact information from her “victims” and the sex always took place in a hotel or at their home. Men followed her, stalked her, and approached her constantly begging for another chance. Women hated her and secretly wanted to possess her charms, but Vashti knew how to handle her business, or so she thought.

On one occasion as she scoped out her next “victim” a wannabe victim with stank breath that she had turned down more than a few times whispered in her ear, “One day you’re gonna give that pussy to the wrong man and he’s gonna make you pay”. After she swatted him away like an annoying gnat she gave the statement some thought then shook it off. “It hasn’t happened yet and quite frankly I’m not convinced that any man can have that much power over me.”

When Vashti found out she contracted HIV she wanted to end her life and felt unlovable and more importantly, unfuckable. She foolishly wanted to make every man pay for her irresponsible behavior. She was informed by her caseworker that before she had sex with anyone in the future she would have to tell them her status or it could be considered a felony. This scared the hell out of Vashti. Would she ever have sex again? Was she still sexy? Would men deny her?

She took a year away from her old life, educated herself on HIV and other STDs, dealt with the lengthy process of informing her past partners of her status with the help of the local Health Department and relocated to a place where no one knew her. She had fucked most of the men within a one hundred mile radius, so if she was to start over properly it had to be in a new town in another state.

After a year of pleasing herself she decided she loved sex with men too much to completely give it up. She promised to be honest about her status and protect herself and anyone that she had sex with. If he insisted on not using protection she would slap his dick to the side and move on to the next. The last thing she needed was another STD to further weaken her immune system. Her T cell count was well above two hundred and she didn’t currently need to be on any HIV medication. She ate healthy, worked out, and was in great shape.

One hot summer night Vashti felt like checking out a dance club called Pulse. Hopefully dancing up a sweat would get her sexual pulse pumping. She got dolled up the way she used to in her risky days and decided to give flirting with HIV a shot. If she saw someone that caught her eye she would approach, but if not she would sit back chill and order her favorite alcoholic drink, grape vodka.

Pulse was a spot forty five minutes outside of her home. She’d heard it was the spot to meet high class men, so she had to be in attendance.

Author Terrance Dean on “Elderly and Edible” from ‘Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down”

ThumbsDown

Why am  posting a negative review of my short story “Elderly and Edible”? You have to be able to take the good with the bad.  Terrance gave his honest opinion of the story and that’s what I wanted and needed to hear. I respect that. It forces me to take a closer look at my work before it is revealed to the public. I like that!

Sure, not everyone digs short stories, even Oprah stated that she usually does not  recommend books of short stories because it seems like something is always missing and you’re left hanging at the end. Recently Oprah found a book of short stories that did not leave her hanging and she made it her book club choice.

I purposely wanted to leave people hanging with this particular story so that you’re forced to think. However, when it comes to character and story development I want you to know what they’re about.

Thanks for the tough love, Terrance. It will help in the end.

Hey Ms. Dangerous Lee,

I have read your short and honestly I don’t feel I can give a positive review for it. I feel it’s a powerful tale and one that needs to be told, but it fell short for me.

The eight pages were extremely short, and the story for me was not developed. I think a lot more back story needs to be told, as well as the developing of their relationship, along with his relationship with the young girl. I didn’t connect with the characters, thus I couldn’t feel anything about their situation or issue.

Perhaps you should get someone else to read and review it for you. Sorry about this.

Thanks for thinking of me.

Terrance
