LIKE A ROARING LION, Review

"Like A Roaring Lion read like a movie! I loved it! You will not believe what is going on in this book and how the author makes you feel for the characters, right or wrong! It will get your blood boiling as it tackles topics that some people are afraid to talk about. It starts out with a bang, in the very first chapter and it will keep you guessing (and maybe cussing) throughout the whole book. It is a murder mystery. It is a love story. It is a story about how our pasts can creep into our lives and cause us to bend in ways that others may not understand. Get your copy and see for yourself! Gotta read it!" S. Anise

A Breath of Fresh Air

The air that surrounds us when hardships are prevalent can become stagnant. The circumstances seek to suffocate us, causing our eyes to bulge and focus on what is in front of us. We gasp for air and search around for solutions that will give us the much needed break, from the cycle. We pray and seek counsel, yet the onslaught of worry assails our senses.

Just when it seems that our lungs are about to burst from the lack of oxygen, the answers become apparent. The sun begins to shine on our once darkened skies and the birds begin to sing in the beauty of spring. Winter has passed and with it, the gloom and doom of the incessant pressure.

The Almighty has infused us with a welcomed breath of fresh air.

Winston Harlon, one of the leading characters in How to Taste it at the End of the Day, understands this all too well. Get your copy and follow his journey, today!

LIKE A ROARING LION Excerpt

JACQUELINE YOUNG-WELLS

The thought of walking away sent me into a tailspin. There has to be another way for this scenario to play itself out. My family and close acquaintances continue to be livid about the choices I have made, however, I expect them to respect me and be less loquacious about their displeasure. It is my life and I will have to live or die with my decisions.

I must admit, I would love to have a second spin at the wheel. Perhaps I would have recognized the signs and sought counsel before forging forward. I would have entertained the discussions when my loved ones and friends attempted to broach the subject of my relationship. Instead, I closeted myself within the walls of my fairytale and remained silent. Sure, there were instances when I toyed with the idea that someone would understand. Yet, I was more convinced that I would be judged and ridiculed.

I accused my family of bigotry, when they approached me about my marriage. I could not hear their words for the racial slurs I heard in their voices. My father wanted me to marry one of the deacons in his church, one that understood my background; someone who could assist in raising children that respected the boundaries that exist in society. He thought he had instilled those values in me and I am haunted by the disgust in his eyes, when I chose my husband; a tall, beautiful and intelligent African American.

Covenant Excerpt

PRESTON WAS LEFT BREATHLESS, as he watched Damaris walk down the aisle. He had thought of this moment, for months, and still could not have imagined a more beautiful sight.

Damaris smiled, as she witnessed the reaction on his face. Tears welled up, as she anticipated being held in his arms. She missed him. The last time she had laid eyes on Preston, was a week ago. It was a mutual agreement to allow themselves the time to commune with God, prior to their union. Now, as she caressed his face with her eyes, she was more in love than ever. She felt as if she was walking on clouds, as she moved closer and closer to the man God had chosen for her.

Preston was corralled by an intense restraint, as he stood in place waiting for his bride. A grin seemed to stretch his face, beyond its limit. He felt like he was beaming with pride. He, silently, thanked God (as he had done, countless times) for leading him to his destiny. Damaris Rhenay was his wife. He knew it, just as he knew his name was Preston Lambert.

Secrets are thought to be useful to protect the weak and those who choose not to withstand the judgmental assertions of those around them. They hide behind closed doors, pulpits and in plain sight. The Wells’ and Young’s are no different than those in their circle, but their lives are wrought with mystery and intrigue. How will these dark revelations surface and will someone be lost in the process of keeping the silence? Or will it bellow, like a roaring lion?  (REVIEW: http://tinyurl.com/7zcqqhm )

BLOOD DIPPED Introduction

(Coming Soon)

Night is searching for the dawning of day. Tears are hoping for the floodgates to close. The nagging and incessant memories flood through your mind. The thoughts are persistent, never pausing to give a moment’s peace. You want to be rid of the guilt, the shame, the anger and the bitterness. You long to be free from the haunting visions that pester your dreams and make sleep impossible. The little voice, in the back of your mind, refuses to listen to your pleas of peace and quiet. The droning recollection holds you back; much like fear, it is crippling.

Waking up day after day, plodding through week after week and still there is no notable relief, in sight. Perhaps there is a self inflicted torment that ravages your mind. Maybe a betrayal that has left a lasting scar. Are you the recipient of the uncontrolled rage of a family member, spouse, friend, boss or co-worker? Have you been affected by an egregious act of a sociopath, one who refuses or is unable to reign in his/her emotions and passions?

Blood Dipped speaks to the soul that has not found its rest in the forgiving grace of a loving God. It will quell the tumultuous waves of pain and anguish that comes with holding on to a past that is unkind and unforgiving. Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, took the time to minister health and healing through His unselfish sacrifice, on the cross. The Bible comforts us, “My peace I give to you.” God’s peace is freeing and it is comforting. It requires no forcible action from the receiver, except to take the focus off of yourself and place it onto Him.

I encourage you, the reader, to open up that area that is holding you hostage. Jesus has come to free you and for you to be free, indeed, through the truth. Accept the mercy and clemency from any crime you may have committed or an offence that crowds your mind. Choose to walk, in the light of day, as you endeavor to go into the crawl space and attic of your past. Jesus is the Light of the world – the Holy Spirit, a candle for your soul – you will not be left alone, in darkness. God is and will continue to be your constant Companion. He promises to never leave, nor forsake you – He will not abandon you, to yourself, as you seek liberation from the ties that bind. Forsake the past, in order to embrace the present and future. Your life has been Blood Dipped and the sacrifice has been accepted.

BEHOLDEN Synopsis

As As the people of Galena go about their lives, there is a menace lurking in their town. People are vanishing, leaving families in chaos. Who or what is terrorizing the community? The townspeople are looking for answers and demanding action. Is simple faith enough to combat this darkness that has enveloped the city? Is a police force enough to put an end to the madness?

For the members of the multicultural Wisdom Outreach Center it is business, as usual. They have families, careers and ambitions. They, also, have secrets. Their inner battles and private longings bind them together in ways that are hidden from them all. As people begin to disappear, a terror is created throughout the community that is growing out of control. Pastor Zeke Montgomery and Chief Gavin Palmer and the police squad are under scrutiny as the people of Galena are looking for answers about the evil that lurks in the shadows.

As the citizens of Galena search themselves, they begin to wonder if they are prepared to meet their maker. There are families that begin to ponder if the missing members are finally being made to atone for their sins. Introspection creates thoughts of what would be done if they had a second chance. All the while, fear is gripping their hearts with each missing person and passing day. Are the acts the work of a lone assailant or something more sinister?

Inez Reilly takes you on a journey inside the lives of people who represent us all – people with hopes, dreams, good intentions, regrets, nightmares and ill meaning. As with all of Ms. Reilly’s fiction works, there are guaranteed thrills and surprises. You will be on the edge of your seat, guessing and having to guess again, as you try to solve the mysteries behind the disappearances.
