On
 the
surface, Lena Spencer appears to have it all.
She and her wealthy husband Randall have two
wonderful children, and they live a life of
luxury. In reality, however, Lena finds that
happiness is elusive. Randall is emotionally
distant, her son has developed a drug habit, and
her daughter is disgusted by her mother's
"overbearing behavior." When Randall decides
that he's had enough of marriage counseling, he
offers his wife an ultimatum: "Be grateful for
all I've done for you or leave." Lena, realizing
that money can't solve her problems and that her
husband is no longer the man she married,
decides to choose the latter. Drawing strength
from Tina Turner's life story, SEARCHING FOR
TINA TURNER is Lena's struggle to find
herself after 25 years of being a wife and
mother.
 
"Sisters decry
the shortage of good men and say there is no way
she is settling for less than a good Black man.
Not just a good one, but the BEST one: Denzel
Washington. She, of course, has no idea what
that means, what she wants or what a good Black
man truly looks like." –from The Denzel
Principle
The Denzel
Principle is the belief that the perfect
man—in the form of Denzel Washington—actually
exists off screen and that all Black women can
snag a Denzel of their very own.
So what does your
very own Denzel look like? Well, he’s rich but
earthy, handsome but not pretty, doting but not
docile, tough but vulnerable, political but not
radical, passionate but not hysterical,
ambitious but not overbearing, well-read but not
nerdy, manly but not macho, gentle but not
feminine, Black but not militant, sexy but not
solicitous, flirtatious but particular...and all
that on cue and in proper measure.
Award winning
reporter and cultural critic, jimi izrael offers
to set the record straight – from a regular
guy’s point of view. The Denzel Principle is
straight talk on everything from "Ways Women Can
Break the Hold of the Dizzle," "Ways to Attract
Mr. Right," to "Ten Reasons to Love Ordinary
Black Men" and so much more.

Never judge a book by
its cover. . .
Xavier Preston is
tall, dark, and handsome, and the problem is that he
knows it. He's a bestselling author who is
accustomed to adoring female fans, both young and
old, flirting with him, throwing themselves
shamelessly at him, and trying to get between more
than the covers of his novels. He has always been
more than willing to accommodate their needs and
desires; however, his womanizing days have finally
ended. He's engaged to a beautiful woman, Kendall,
and he's decided to walk the straight and narrow. Or
has he?
From outside
appearances, the very stunning Pilar has it all: a
great career, a beautiful home, and a trust fund
that keeps her financially secure; however, looks
can be deceiving. All that glitters isn't
necessarily gold. Pilar is searching for her perfect
soulmate, and she thinks she has found him in
Xavier. She believes in going after what she wants
with a vengeance . . . and she wants Xavier. That is
not negotiable. She will have him, even if it kills
him.
When Xavier meets his
fanatical fan, Pilar, he gets much more than he
bargained for. What starts out as an erotic
one-night stand quickly spirals out of control into
a dangerous game of obsession and pain with both
parties playing to win.
Think you know
what goes on behind the literary scene? Think again.
