    I just finished the Ramsey novel A Lover's Soul, it was the best. I could not put it down. I can't wait for the other books. Keep up the good work.

    Good morning,
    I just finished the latest Ramsey novel and I must say that it was one of the best in the series. I cannot wait for the saga to continue with the other families. You are truly blessed and talented. Have a great day!

    Hello Ms Washington, I received my new cd Another Love on 8/10/09. I tried to pace myself, but this was a wonderful book. I finish listen to mine today. Hated that the story end all too soon.
    I would like to thank you for this new family. I just know you are going to continue the series with this new family. I will buy my copy. Will Kimar's sister, brother and dad have love interest as well. Thanks again

    Hi, Ms. Washington...just had to give a shout and tell you how much I enjoyed your audio book "Another Love"...enjoyed it so much I DID NOT want it to end...I was thoroughly CAUGHT UP in the chemistry between Kedra and Kimar...and even though Kimar came off as arrogant and quite overbearing at times...you could still see that despite those "flaws" he ONLY wanted what he thought was best for Kedra...he was definitely a smooth operator...and Kedra showed she was NO damsel and distress and stood toe-toe with this MAGNIFICENT man...I hope you plan to do a sequel because I just have to know what will happen with the rest of this VIVID and memorable cast of characters...KUDOS :-)

    The Ancient One says

    Listen to Stories . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ernest Kurtz, The Spirituality of Imperfection, p. 63

    "Yet again, an ancient answer echoes across the centuries: Listen! Listen to stories! For what stories do, above all else, is hold up a mirror so that we can see ourselves. Stories are mirrors of human be–ing, reflecting back our very essence. In a story, we come to know precisely the both/and, mixed-upped-ness of our very being. In the mirror of another’s story, we can discover our tragedy and our comedy—and therefore our very human-ness, the ambiguity and incongruity, that lie at the core of the human condition."

    Here is a blurb about my new book—ON THE CREST. Comments welcome: Tige Anderson goes through a series of emotional, physical and psychological adventures in this coming-of-age roller coaster, balancing his life among his romantic trysts, his ambitions, his humanity and his gay best friend. The one thread that connects all of the people in his life is the fact that the cycle of life puts everyone through a series of ups (‘on the crest’) and downs. Whether an individual winds up on top of the wave or under it depends on them.

    Prologue:

    [A mind full of shadows which form long, dark points that pierce the heart through and bring to consciousness the fierce pain of reality. Hooded specters that travel through space and time gathering up pieces of memory and bringing them together to form one melted block of pain and pleasure called the past.

    Were it possible to disintegrate as happens to dreams and tender moments. As powerful as these dreams and tender moments seemed at their inception, we come to realize that they are made of invisible particles of nothingness. Were it possible to just vanish like hopes made of tiny particles of nothing so would I be free of reality. And in that vanishing, would I finally be able to find peace.]

    Those thoughts flooded Tige’s mind as he sat and watched the pointed shadows caused by the brand-new-morning sun crawl across the floor in front of him. He had been all alone in the solarium since the middle of the night awaiting the sunrise as he did on many nights since he was put into that place. It was his favorite time of day. Anymore, each minute of the day was filled with painful recollection and doubt except for this brief, fleeting moment. It was a time, it seemed, that the earth, like him, was confused. It brought him solace to think that at this very moment, the entire universe, or so it seemed, was in a state of doubt and he was not alone. It was the time when day was pushing back night, eliminating the last vestiges of darkness to assume domination and live out its brief lifetime before dying and willing its realm to its brother called ‘tomorrow’. It was a time of starting over, of another chance. Days rolled in one after the other like the waves at the beach. It made one think that no matter how tragic the events that occurred in one solar period, there was always another; there was always another wave.

    Tige sat in his robe and pajamas on one of the couches in the solarium watching the morning sun get stronger, watching the streams of light come through the bars on the windows, hoping that the attendant would not yet realize that he was not in his room, which was where he should have been until breakfast which was still two hours away. He had done this so many times in the past but he was never discouraged from continuing to enjoy his moment of peace, but rather would endure the lectures from the staff about how everyone there must obey the rules so that all there could accomplish what they came there for.

    The reward that he got from this solitude was worth any reprimand which may have followed from the staff. He knew that his time remaining there was brief and he could continue this practice somewhere else. This was his time to savor the self-induced, companion-until-death torment brought about by events which had happened before and could not be changed. This was his time to not only enjoy the companionship of hope for tomorrow, but also to flog himself with memories and guilt for things that he had been instrumental in bringing to existence. He had to torture himself for what he had done or for what he had not done. With an almost painful enjoyment, Tige watched the single line of gray smoke from his cigarette and recalled the days past. He watched the ashes fall off like expended days gone by. He watched the orange line of fire racing toward its end.

    Again, comments welcome.
    The book can be purchased at barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com, authorhouse.com and many more sites. Thank you. Tony Carmine.

    Hey everyone. This is Patrice. I am back and better than ever. I see that we all have reading a ball. So I was thinking that maybe we should start a book a month club. I thought it might be cool to bring all of us together one accord as we do our thing. Each month we will read one book together and this book can be any genre can be recommend by any member by the fifteenth of the month before the book talk. So if you want to recommend the book for May I need to have the title by April 15. So since I stared the club I thought that I should chose the first book and the book that I chose was Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man by Steve Harvey. We will have the discussion on April 6 all day because I know that we all have varies activities to do. So please reply and let me know if you will be predicating. Happy Reading

    Howdy,

    Sorry I’ve been away so long. I’ve been entirely toooooo busy.

    Anywhooo, in your Black Romance group, we’ll be reading Protect and Serve by Gwyneth Bolton next and start discussing it on 10 Oct. Now go ahead and purchase Gwen’s book now, even if you plan on reading it late, because it is a Harlequin book and you know they can be difficult to find.

    Have you heard about all the fun we had at the 2008 Romance Slam Jam? Well that’s NOTHING compared to what’s coming in 2010.

    It’s Romance Slam Jam’s Crystal Anniversary! Our theme is Back to the Future with Rochelle Alers as our keynote speaker! Everyone is Welcome To Join the Romance Slam Jam Crystal Anniversary Celebration Cruise departing from Miami, Florida, Sunday April 10th, 2010. We will be embarking on the five day Carnival Cruise to Ocho Rios, Jamaica and Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands on the “Destiny” Fun Ship.

    Spread the word
    Peace
