Prologue


And in the absence of even a hint of an exchange, Joaquin spun around and lunged at Ross. He grabbed him by the throat, knocking him down.  


With brittle leaves and debris thrust upward, the two were enveloped in a dark, hazy hell as they engaged in a violent struggle for what seemed like an eternity.  

Ross flared up. “Get the hell off of me!”  


Joaquin persisted. “What are you going to do, Ross? Where are you going to go?” 
Ross scrambled to his feet, fighting back with a blow to Joaquin’s head, followed by several body punches. Joaquin stumbled and fell, giving Ross those precious few seconds required for his escape.  


Fueled by a rush of pulsating adrenaline, Ross ran frantically, stretching his quivering legs. His rich brown skin tightened as he pounded through the forest. He tried to ignore his thunderous heartbeat while scanning the pathways, searching for possible escape routes.  


With his baseball cap lost to the wind, his short, curly hair had exposed to the open air. Ross grasped the moment, one littered with deep panic and a singular appreciation for survival.  


This turn of events stemmed from countless episodes in which Joaquin, only nineteen yet extremely demanding, had tried to control those around him.

She was mercilessly battered and weak. It was impossible for her to muster up the strength to stand even with help! Bill realized Carol needed to go to hospital, and the thought of showing any remorse or concern for her angered him even more. So, Bill lugged Carol into his car like a bag of trash, and spewed obscenities at her the entire 15-minute drive. “Trick stop bleeding all over my seats, I knew I shoulda left you!” When they arrived at the hospital, Bill didn’t escort Carol inside. Instead with the same violent demeanor, he hatefully threw her out of his car! Carol stumbled inside trying not to fall, but her strength betrayed her. Her pregnant and battered body fell to the ground, while bystanders looked at her in shock and disgust… After what seemed like an unending couple of minutes, Carol was assisted by hospital staff and rushed to the maternity ward.

#WNLBOOKTOURS Time to Say Goodbye by Parker J. Cole #NEWBOOKALERT #NEWRELEASE #INSPIRATIONAL #ROMANCE @wnlbooktous @parkerjcole





Hello! This is one of my tour stops during my one month book tour for Time to Say Goodbye by Parker J. Cole. This virtual book tour is organized by Write Now Literary Book Tours. This tour runs March 5-30, 2018.  Follow the tour here.  Book your own tour here WNL.   
      
ISBN-10: 1973224151

ISBN-13: 978-1973224150

Genre: Sweet Inspirational Romance



About The Author

I am an author, speaker, and radio show host with a fanatical obsession with the Lord, Star Trek, K-dramas, anime, romance books, old movies, speculative fiction, and knitting. An off and on addict to Mountain Dew and marshmallows who writes to fill the void the sugar left behind.










About The Book

Gargi Kapoor is the only one convinced her brother, Dev, is innocent of the crime he was convicted of. When he is sent to the hospital with an unexplained paralyzing disease she finds herself having to lean on the last person she'd ever want to depend on -- a man who wants her brother to pay for stealing his mother's life savings.

Leon Reckley is extremely satisfied to find the man who ripped his mother off suffering from an unknown disease that leaves him paralyzed and in need of rehabilitation therapeutic services. He's even happier when he is given the opportunity to be the therapist that makes him fit enough to return to prison to finish his sentence. No one will work harder to make sure Dev Kapoor serves every minute of his prison sentence.

Gargi never dreamed the man who has utter contempt for her brother would be the man she slowly begins to trust. Leon never thought he'd be convinced Dev might be innocent, let alone be drawn to his enemy's little sister. Together, will they find the truth? Or when Leon's job is over, will it simply be time to say goodbye?





What makes you feel inspired to write?

I am inspired by people. Everyone has an interesting story to tell. From childhood memories to experiences, to business ideas and more, people inspire my stories. If I only had one wish, I’d like to speak and understand every language in the world. Imagine the stories I could tell.

How did you come with the idea for your current story?

I love Indian food and I have a lot of Indian friends. As I was doing some thinking for the second book of my Michigan Sweet romance series, I got to thinking, what if an Indian girl started to fall for a man who’s considered ‘trailer trash’? The idea sprung from there.

What is your favorite scene in the book? Why? 

My favorite scene in this book is when Gargi calls Leon, ‘laal sher’ and he thinks she’s calling him ‘Lyle’. Throughout the book, that’s a recurring thing. When he begins to fall for her, he doesn’t even mind she’s calling him ‘Lyle.’

What is the highest goal that you desire to meet as an author?

I love connecting with my readers. My goal is to create stories my readers connect with and enjoy. It’s a simple goal but that requires a lot of effort. Learning about the craft of writing, staying up to date with market trends, building loyalty with readers, and so much more.

What is the best piece of advice you would give to someone that wants to get into writing?

Write until you get to the end. Hard part is done.


What do you have in store next for your readers?


I am working on several projects including my first historical romance, a contemporary sweet romance for the next Michigan Sweet volume, and a sci-fi novel. There’s more but they’re moreso ideas in my head right now.

#VIRTUALBOOKTOUR The Bennu Project by Tyrone Givens #NEWBOOKALERT #SCIFI @wnlbooktours


Hello! This is one of my tour stops during my two week book tour for The Bennu Project by Tyrone Givens. This virtual book tour is organized by Write Now Literary Book Tours. This tour runs November 23-December 6, 2017.  Follow the tour here.  Book your own tour here WNL

ASIN: B00VP4N6X8

ISBN-10: 1620309580

ISBN-13: 978-1620309582

Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi




About The Book

On a dangerous run to scavenge supplies from a remote excavation site in the Meza Ruins, Azubuike and his friends encounter a unique piece of technology left by their ancestors. Once exposed to the device, Azubuike’s reality is altered in ways that could unravel his mind. The team has no way of knowing the danger—or benefit—posed by this ancient technology which triggered a series of events forever changing Azubuike and his friends. Has he unlocked the secret to end the alien occupation of his world or will this device result in the extinction of his people?

The Bennu Project is a genre-defying novel with the suspense of mystery, metaphors of science fiction and accuracy of historical relevance depicting the rise-and-fall of several Nile Valley civilizations.





About The Author

Fed up with the stereotypical caricatures used to falsely portray the Black culture, Tyrone Givens is committed to creating heroes and heroines as positive images for our children. To reverse the less-than-flattering qualities that diminish self-esteem, self-worth and cultural value, this master storyteller entertains readers with science fiction plots infused with historical facts often omitted from school curriculums.

Givens, a homeschool educator whose high school-aged children are attending college, is a multi-lingual, federally-licensed airplane pilot. The Bennu Project is the culmination of his passions: empowering Black children, accurate depiction of our history and rebuilding our community.


Author Interview

Welcome Tyrone, Tell us how did your life as a writer begin?


As I homeschooled my two teenage sons, finding books with historical African facts of interest to high school students was a challenge. I created a lesson plan ranging from pre-colonial Africa to current events. After completing the plan, I put the information in a book—The Bennu Project—to share with parents who struggle with teaching certain historical topics to their children.


Tyrone, how did you come up with the idea for your current story?


I was unsettled by Gods of Egypt which released in 2016 because the indigenous people were not correctly represented in the movie. The history lesson I created covered relationships between Ancient Egypt, Greece and other nations in the region. A similar pattern of misrepresentation occurred in others movies: The Last Samurai, The Great Wall and Exodus: Gods and Kings. The blatant discrepancy compelled me to write The Bennu Project to help our children understand that they are descendants of great leaders and royalty.


Tyrone, everyone has a writing process, tell us about your writing process. Do you outline or are you more of a seat-of-your-pants type of a writer?


I am absolutely a seat-of-the-pants type of writer. Writing comes easy for me. In college, I realized I could write a term paper in the parking garage on the due date. Instead of outlines and other mechanisms, my process for writing my first two books started with imagining major points. When I had enough scenes, I wrote storylines to support them.

Tyrone, what is your favorite scene in the book? Why?

This question is difficult because I have several favorite scenes. If I had to choose one, it is the scene that introduces The Kandake. Her likeness was modeled after Njinga Mbande, a 17th-century queen of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms of the Mbundu people in Angola, and one of my personal heroes. Queen Njinga Mbande was an iconic person so I transferred some of her qualities into this character.

Tyrone, who is the one author that you would love to meet someday and why?

I would love to have met the late Dr. Chancellor Williams. As an African-American sociologist, historian and writer, he is noted for his work on African civilizations prior to encounters with Europeans. His book, The Destruction of Black Civilization, changed my life. I encourage readers of The Bennu Project to read his book.

Please share with us Tyrone, what do you have in store next for your readers?

I plan on writing The Bennu Project as a trilogy followed by a possible prequel trilogy.

Tyrone, is there anything else you’d like to share with your readers?


The Bennu Project is a science fiction metaphor for actual historical events with relevance to pre-colonial Africa. By infusing historical-based fiction with current events, the book is a favorite among home-school teachers and inner-city educators especially for history classes.
