I am an avid reader of AA fiction. I read a little non-fiction, but fiction is my thing. My favorite author is Beverly Jenkins. I am a member of a book club in the Raleigh NC area, which has been going strong for 10 years now (since 2000).

    Entertaining, educational, mysterious, proof behind legend, and mesmerizing all that the same time: what better time could one have then to escape to the realm of the mind for a while?
    I am new to Shelfari and am open to followers. I have recently published the first in the series of four. The Series is entitled "The Centurion of Time" and it is about the legend behind the cursed soldier that speared Christ. It is full of history, myth, religion, war, and metaphor. The main character finds tragedy and must go on a journey through the eons of the earths to find confidence, peace, and regain his own soul. It is available on amazon of course, it will be on ebook soon, and is now at publishamerica.com at a significantly lower price than at amazon.

    Wearing many hats is not easy! Having to be wife, mother, sister, confidant, friend, teacher, nurse, cheerleader, errand-girl, and whomever or whatever our loved ones need us to be can be quite overwhelming. How do we keep our sanity in the midst of it all?
    I’m Not God, I’m Just a Woman, is a must read for both men and women alike. This book is by far NOT your typical self-help book. It was inspired by the Holy Spirit to help every woman recognize that she is not God; therefore, she cannot be everything to everyone at the same time. Combining practical everyday life scenarios with a twist of entertainment and drama that will keep the reader seated between its pages. Loops of laughter, turns of tears, and elevations of enlightenment will even peak the curiosity of the non-reader. The primary focus of this book is to help women prioritize their lives, so that in the midst of everyone pulling for their attention, they can still manage to keep it all together!

    Shawn,

    I finished reading A Heart Divided as well last and I enjoyed the book as well! I posted a message on Sistah Iris's facebook commending her for another successful masterpiece! Don't forget to post a comment on amazon, it really helps the authors and new readers know that you appreciate their work. I am going on Amazon now to post my comment.

    I am now reading Key to My Heart by Victoria Wells. She is also a good writer as well.

    Have a great week,
    Chelece, SF Bayarea
