    Greetings to everyone, my name is Larry Weldon Jr. and I currently have two books available on amazon.com for you all to read and hopefully review. Regardless of my being told that "Bay Area Firecracker" is a must read by this person that I just met after a friend of mine gave her my book, I want you all to read it for yourselves. I will have two more releases this summer, so look out for it. My website is www.larryweldonjr.webs.com

    Hi and thanks for being my friend on Shelfari, I’m the Author of four poetry books about love-romance-life etc. If you are delighted by the two poems below maybe you will consider adding my four books to your shelf.

    The World As We See It

    The world as we see it gone
    The world as we see it vague
    The world-our world
    Your world-my world
    God created.

    The world as we see it
    No longer pure-safe
    The world as we see it
    Wish to run-hide-escape.

    The world as we see it gone
    The world as we see it vague.

    The world that once was
    Free from sin-a world where
    Anger-hatred-lies to fall in
    The world that ate forbidden
    Fruit, that sends our
    Bones to hell
    Biblical verses of
    Old that still
    Prevail.

    The world that we use to know
    The world as we see it gone
    The world as we live in it
    Vague.




    I Love you

    I love you to the moon
    I love you to the end of the planets.
    I love you till there's no love in the equator,
    I love you knowing nothing could be greater,
    I will love you from now until decades later.
    Let me love you now, not later.
    Let me love you to
    Northern skies,
    Western hemispheres,
    Without worries, fears or cares.
    Allow me to love you,
    Until you care, blossom up,
    Open up-heal from old wounds
    that you suddenly, slowly start to share.
    Our love is genuine-it can't compare.
    Now your love has opened up wide
    Like a brand new gift on Christmas day
    See what happens when you allow
    Someone to love you.

    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.

    - Roy
