Today the tears stopped.
The way her mother looked at her this morning told Tawana if she didn’t pull herself together, she’d soon find herself admitted to a local hospital.
LITERARY NEWS | Kickoff!
Kickoff!
by Tiki & Ronde Barber with Paul Mantell
Tiki and Ronde’s twelfth summer is winding down — the nights are getting shorter and the evenings cooler. That means two things: The first day of junior high is just a few days away, and it’s almost the start of football season at last. With two championships and an 8-2 season last year, Tiki and Ronde are ready to graduate from the Peewee League and hit the field as starting players for the Hidden Valley Eagles. But junior high is a lot bigger than elementary school. The competition for starting spots is stiff, and seniority rules. If Tiki and Ronde make it past tryouts and cuts, will they get the chance to play, or will they have to spend the season watching from the bench with the other seventh graders? Inspired by the childhood of NFL superstars Tiki and Ronde Barber, Kickoff! is a story of teamwork, perseverance, and what it takes to be a champion.
INTERVIEW | Monica Carter Tagore
Monica, describe yourself for our visitors.
Hi, I am Monica Carter Tagore and I’m inspired by life. I have a range of interests, so there is always fodder for creative projects. I love watching football — especially the Dallas Cowboys. I enjoy spending time with my husband — doing pretty much anything, traveling, watching movies, eating out. And I enjoy fun time with a few good friends and family.
INTERVIEW | Fon James
Fon, describe yourself for our visitors.
My name is Fon James and I am often described as a fun-loving person! I am a wife, sister, daughter, author, and an active member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications with an emphasis in journalism, and a MBA. I currently work full-time as a Sr. communications consultant for a major insurance company in Houston, TX. When I am not working or writing, I enjoy hanging out with my hubby and all of my family back home in Mississippi (my home state). I love attending black college football games and hearing the sound of the marching bands. I attend the Fort Bend Church in Sugarland, TX where I am an active member of the choir and the praise team.
Right now, I am listening to G-Mayes and N.E.’s song, Hit the Deck (check it out on my www.myspace.com/fonjames page. It is definitely jamming)! The group is basically telling the devil he’s got to go!!! I’m definitely feeling that because he definitely doesn’t have any place in my life!
INTERVIEW | Dr. Vivi Monroe Congress
Vivi, describe yourself for our visitors.
A simple yet complex woman who happens to be an author with a heart and passion to please God through the use of the talents He’s given me. Many describe me as “deep” and that often amuses me since I know me as “goofy” (LOL). Anyway, when I’m not writing, I’m assisting other authors in their literary projects through my contract publishing company, Queen V Publishing. My hobbies and interests outside of writing and publishing are few to none as of late … I’ve GOT to work on that!
Keep It Moving
THE JOURNEY
Keep It Moving
by Becky DeWitt
The adversary has organized and set a deceptive plan using the mind of the Believer to create a mirage of false evidence that appears real enough to make one think that we are living through see –nothing days. This mirage is a lie from the pits of hell using every strategy to weary the faith of the saints. A board meeting was held and you are the primary target. The orders were issued with subversive tactics enlisting deception, delusion, despair, distraction, and most importantly, doubt.
