    Introducing UrbanfirePublishing!




    Our Mission is to voice the expressions of exceedingly talented writers that are are often denied in the mainstream world. UrbanfirePublishing was a long thought out process that we had to establish because we realized no one else was going to do it for us. We as in six avid female readers had to decide why we were going to be different and not like the average publishing company. UrbanfirePublishing is not about the word I it's about the word we, and what we are trying to do. Sure, you may know us Urbanfirebooks and that's because we come hard and tell the truth about what we read, what we like, and what we don't like. Some of you may call it constructive criticism, however we call it providng an open door, giving a little edge, and giving the author an honest opinion.

    Hello. I am pleased, delighted, make that thrilled to announce that my debut novel Patches of Grey has been published by M.U.D. House Books and is now available for sale from Amazon.com -

    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0578005816/ref=nosim/porfessionalp4-20

    Below you will find a synopsis. If you opt to purchase a copy please be sure to share your thoughts once done reading. I greatly enjoy hearing from my readers. After all, without them there would be considerably less point to writing in the first place.

    Synopsis: Tony Johnson is a studious young man planning to soon graduate from much more than high school. Although his zip code places him in a Bronx tenement, his sights are set far beyond the trappings of his humble upbringing. Collegiate dreams combined with falling in love with a white classmate put him strongly at odds with his father. Although his brother C.J. s rebellious ways place him directly in the path of danger on gang ruled streets, and the virginal innocence of their sister Tanya is clearly approaching its demise, it is Tony who incurs the majority of Lionel Johnson's wrath for the sins of ambition, daring to be with Janet Mitchell, and refusing to bend to his father's will. Seeing unrealized goals reincarnated in the eyes of his eldest son harshly remind Lionel of what once could have been, and of what went wrong. His own childhood in a segregated southern town established a bitter, prejudiced outlook that is the only legacy he has to pass down to his children. When his job and role as primary breadwinner are lost, Lionel's authority quickly erodes and he drowns his disappointment one drink at a time. This affords Tony, who lacks the seemingly servile patience of his mother, an opportunity to assert his right to become the man he wants to be rather than allowing his fate to be set by chance and circumstance. But throughout the course of Roy Pickering's engrossing debut novel, Tony comes to learn that the world is not as black and white as he and his father's opposing mindsets would suggest.

    Hello members,

    I run a group for young women, Color Online. We promote women of color writers. We support and encourage young women to explore literature that inspires, examines and encourages them to become positive, strong and productive women in their communities. Check us out. We are private. If you check us out and are interested, send me a note.

    Kudos to you as well for supporting and promoting a celebration of diversity in literature.

    Peace,
