"Boundless Limits: Transcendent Choice (Book One)" by Da'Kharta Rising
Blurb:
There's Love ... and then there's Love Beyond Limits.
Felipe and Therice had a love that knew of no boundaries. When Therice and “Mama” lose their lives in a tragic car accident, Felipe has a gaping hole that just refuses to heal and Therice has a determination to see him again that just refuses to die.
Heaven feels anything but, when Therice discovers that spirits are prohibited from visiting loved ones after they have died. Sensing that her angelic guide Amare possesses empathetic traits, Therice develops a plan of appeal in the hopes she will see Felipe near the anniversary of her death.
He was my first love. Not my first obsession. Not my first infatuation (cuz i had plenty of those lol)
But my FIRST love. We've been through alot in our situation-ship (friendship or whatever it was)and no matter how many times he has hurt me and irked me at the same damn time, I still love him. Couldn't fully hate him if i tried and believe me i have lol but to no avail.
He has his flaws as do i . NO ONE is perfect. So yeah, i do. I didn't know what that kind of love was until he entered my heart. He changed the game for me. He taught me how to love. Before him, i was experienced in infatuation and obsession.
When someone's your first, you don't forget that person or how he/she made you feel in that moment and they will always have a special place in your heart. I call them game changers.. Cuz that's indeed what happens. NO ONE will come before them or be a replacement.

I don't know you anymore
Yet we continue to go back and forth
9 times out of 10 i go back to you
Never fully realizing my worth
It's like we're in a tug of war
I hurt you
You hurt me back
We're on this emotional roller coaster that never ends
An abyss of unhealthy situationships with loose ends
We play with each other's hearts
But we don't play for keeps
I can read you by the scars
You've changed from good to worse
I admit I played my part
But it ain't all my fault
It's the fame D
The Youtube fame that increased the size of your head
Surrounding yourself with people who tell you you're amazing
Instead of the ones that help you grow
Keep you grounded
Trading loyalty and honesty
For yes men
You took what i gave you for granted
Betrayed my trust
Cut me deep
See I don't know where you end and this stranger begins
There's nothing left to say
Except you're the worst
But you won't ruin my life
Cuz i'll always come back stronger
I gave you my heart
Bout i'll never let you get back in again
I'm finally out of the equation
Cuz this situation
Ain't about love
It ain't about trust
It ain't about us
It ain't about you

Without further fuss, we would like to present you with the Cover of "Delectable Things: Special Edition" by Synful Desire.
Sabrina was now on the phone with her friend, Rachel. This day was one of the worst days of her life. She couldn’t believe she had gotten fired and the behavior of Mr. Torrance. He was using his personal feelings to try and justify this decision. The thing that pissed her off the most was that Veronica had set out to ruin her.
“Yeah, I can’t believe it either. Especially Veronica. The bitch had me on tape! I couldn’t say shit to defend myself!”
“So Sabrina, what are you gonna do?”
“Find another job; what else?”
“I mean, do you have enough in your savings to cover the rent? I know the place you are in now is hella expensive.”
“I got enough back in my savings for another four months or so, but after that, I’m going to have to find a new place to live.”
“Well love, you can always move here.”
She and Rachel had talked about this before. Sabrina knew that Rachel had feelings that went beyond friendship. As much as she loved Rachel as a friend, she didn’t have feelings for Rachel that extended past that point. This was why she would usually reject Rachel’s offers for help.
However, her back was up against the wall.
She knew it wouldn’t take long before word got back to her father, if it hadn’t already. Her father would not be pleased, since he pulled some major strings for her to work at Joynt Enterprises. It would hurt her greatly if her father’s business got negatively impacted due to her fallout with Mr. Torrance. She didn’t know if she’d be able to face him or if she could live with her father, given the circumstances.
Before we show you the cover, lets tell you a little bit about Concordant Vibrancy.
Blurb:
All Authors Publishing House, a subsidiary of All Authors Publications & Promotions, is pleased to present its first short story anthology, Concordant Vibrancy.
Concordant Vibrancy represents the interweaving of unity and uniqueness through the eyes of eleven incredible writers. Through the array of genres, all of these talents share a phenomenal love of writing which aims to leave imprints in the reader's imagination.
It was important to portray both the unification and individuality of each author as well as the theme of this anthology on its cover. In the introduction of Concordant Vibrancy, Y. Correa, the creator of All Authors P&P explains it this way, "... like leaves on a tree, we are all connected. Mother Earth, the best example of unity mankind has."
Without further ado, we present you with the cover of Concordant Vibrancy created by All Authors Graphic Design.
Currently, putting the finishing touches on my novella so it will be ready for the public. I would rather be proud of it than tossing it in the garbage...so kinda hella busy at this point.
The final release won't be long now.....
I'm working on no sleep....or at least less sleep.
This draft I'm working on is better than that crap shilled out on my first. I'm going to keep it real. My first draft was crap!
I will be on a cover reveal blog tour for my upcoming YA horror/suspense release "Next Of Kin" on the 25th of the September which will include my set release date for the book. I'm super excited and hoe everything turns out well for both
Aaaaand i feel like I've reached mine. Lying is a deal breaker for me. I can't take anyone lying to me or making a fool out of me. I don't think i deserve this. Sure i have my ups and downs an i lash out an say things i don't mean but i have always had his back, been supportive and remained loyal. I wouldn't even think twice about doing this to another human being. I truly wish him the best in his future endeavors but I'm done for the last and final time. He doesn't deserve my support, my love or my friendship for that matter.
This might just be a blessing in disguise. From here on out, i'm going to continue to do me and focus on my own life
When i first started writing Next Of Kin i wanted it to appeal to all ages (except children) but now i'm not so sure. I don't care who you are, there's always somebody doesn't like your work. You know what they say, you can't please everybody. A piece of good advice i live by is write from your heart and write for a specific person you created in your mind.
I've been thinking about the cover a lot lately...maybe a trail of thick dark blood leading up to a woman's cold wretched body in a pool of it (That's all i got so far). I don't wanna give too much of the story away..but there is someone who wants to gain control over my main character's body. Could it be someone close to her? Could it be a stranger?
Here's the specific's: i'm on the 110th page so i figure i got 30 pages to go. Hmmmmmm! I know it's not a competition but i feel like i'm losing. Not putting in enough time as i should on this. I guess i'm racing against myself.
I casually stumbled upon @faygeorgina88's blog She quotes those are the words she lives by..It's better to of loved and lost then never of loved at all. I used to live by those exact words and even though it rings true, I still have reservations. Experiencing love, REAL LOVE( and no it wasn't mutual) and heartache, it causes me to pose the question. What if i never loved him? I wouldn't experience the pain i felt when i found my love was not returned, when i found my dreams and visions about him weren't real. Of course, there would be a downside to having my memory wiped..the good memories. The memories of me being apart of his team, of us arguing and him getting on my damn nerves, the jokes and the laughs (all of the above). I loved him for two years and still love him, and even though i didn't know him (i knew him, still do). We didn't have a relationship we had a situationship. We have history, and that's where it gets sticky cuz for me (at least for right now) i'd rather choose the ladder. Love hurts. But the moral to the story is...take the good with the bad. Cherish the memories. Try not to regret it if you can....
My 2 cents
I'm halfway done and it feels even though its been awhile since I've written anything other than a script, it feels like i never left. I don't consider myself a newbie because I've always wrote (just under a different format) After years of second guessing i'm finally staying put, finding my niche'
I'm very excited about this book. Excited about people reading this book, reading this hopefully unique story. I'll keep you posted
I've had my fair share of experiences..had my first love (unrequited) and my heartbroken cause it was unrequited, and had my first and second hater. At first when I saw her tweets i racked my brain to find out why she was judging and posting negative things about me. I'm a good person with a good heart but some people just hate for no reason. Maybe she was jealous or hate the fact that i'm not scared to say what she wanted to. Who Knows?
My first unrequited love..was a independent R&B artist hailed from London. I first discovered him when my sister posted a YT video of his and at the time i was scrolling through her FB wall posts. It was January, 2012 I think. Kinda foggy on the month. I watched his Sex Therapy cover and was blown away. And everyday after that i checked out his channel, watching his covers like crazy. I was a fan in that moment. I found his twitter page, followed him. After about a month or two, we developed a rapport (friendship) and i started catching feelings for him. I asked him if he was taken. He said yes and my heart sank. I don't know why but my first emotion has always been anger. In an effort to not bore you with my story, i'll cut to the chase. Two and a half years i was apart of TeamDDB and was grateful to be apart of something so great. Even now, i have no ill feelings toward the other party. He was indeed a lesson and not the blessing i had so hoped he would be. But it changed me for the better..a very important lesson. I've literally created 4 TeamDDB accounts (on separate occasions) cuz i didn't want to give up on him. But what I had to realize was, it wasn't about him it was about me. Months after i deactivated my last and final account (TeamDDBLVL) i made a decision i can no longer be his fan but i do want to try to be friends. But now i'm not so sure. If i really knew him it would seem like we've been through a lot..and i think we have. But just because you've been through alot with someone doesn't necessarily mean that you need to rebuild. Sometimes you have to read the signs, keep it moving and cherish the memories.
I recently paid for a promotional service to promote my book. It was 99$. Any higher and I wouldn't have done it. I did because clearly because my promotion sucks. I can admit it. All I can say I did my best (got my book on B&N Nook, google play and Kobo and send out some free press releases, used Twitter, FB , Instagram and Google + to my advantage, got 31 downloads on my free days, some sales) but I guess it wasn't good enough. But i'm reminded of what my ex online friend told me. To just be patient. While it is true, i haven't fully mastered that yet. But I don't want overnight success. Because while it would make me happy, it could be taken away just as easily as I got it. So while i'm learning to be patient i'm still learning the ropes of book marketing and promotion
The fat lady hasn't sung yet
We say goodbye to 2013
And hello to 2014
Making room for new opportunities
Considering the possibilities
Making New Years resolutions that never stick
Saying things like I'm gonna lose 30 pounds
Imma quit smoking or quit drinking
But never getting around to achieving it
Thinking all they gotta do is say the words and God'll pull them through
God helps those who help themselves
And those that better themselves
Everybody's screaming New Year New Me
And i'm like New Year
Old me
Different mindset
Cuz i wasn't fully awakened yet
I was still stuck in the past
Not what is
But what was
What shoulda been
What coulda been
It shoulda been us
But there is no us anymore
Said goodbye a long time ago
You and me equals mess
A mess i can't clean up
A mess i can't make sense of
My eyes are open
And finally see myself for who I am
Not that person i forced myself to be
I loved you
I looked up to you
Wanted to be like you
But you can't love anyone
Cuz you can't even love yourself
How could I look up to someone so small
