BLOG TOUR: Escape From a Nightmare w/Stephanie Acon
About
the Book
Have you ever experienced a premonition that you
just couldn't shake? A foreboding dream or sign that you deeply wanted to
ignore but...your spirit just wouldn't release it? Well meet Gabriana
Hilson...
Gabriana is a dreamer in more than one way. She has daydreams of living the good life on her terms, and without compromise. But then, there are the “other” dreams. The very strange and disturbing omens that come while sleeping. They whisper the conflict of everything, and arrange messages that Gabriana doesn't want to hear...or see. Especially the ones about her boyfriend. She wants them to just go away. But they won't. The visions only multiply, and are rapidly distorting her reality, threatening and interrupting the life that she wants so badly to exist. That's a problem.
To Gabriana, Scholar is the king of kings. She is willing to sacrifice it all for him, including family, friends, God, and her sanity. She believes that Scholar is a beautiful dream come-true...but is he really? After signing a record deal as a rapper, Scholar brings Gabriana along for the roller coaster ride of her life. He knows how much she loves him so when the drama begins, he uses his manipulative tactics to hold her in place. He is the ruler of their world, and everything is running the way he has always planned until things go horribly wrong. Suddenly, a well-planned dream quickly turns into the nightmare of all nightmares. Both Scholar and Gabriana learn the hard way to expect the unexpected - for he comes out of the blue. Or does he? He is extremely calculating...and his name is Khali Simone. After meeting him... Gabriana has no idea of the door she opens. Will she discover the truth behind her peculiar premonitions, and make a meditative escape?...Or will Gabriana continue to run until she falls?
About the Author
Stephanie Acon has been writing edgy fiction tales
and poetry since the age of ten years old. However, it wasn't until the age of
21, when she found Hip-Hop, (or Hip-Hop found her) that subsequently she became
known to the underground Hip-Hop world as NinaRaw. For ten years consistent,
she rocked with force, and played a vital part on the side of Systematic Muzick
Inc. ('The OESC' and 'The Murc Unit'). In the mist of performing, writing,
rhyming, recording, selling and shopping mixtapes...amongst the community,
somewhere, NinaRaw became hailed and dubbed as the "queen". And not
by way of cliché props, but strictly because those saying the title
"queen" meant it when they said it, and said it when they felt it
necessary. 'ESCAPE FROM A NIGHTMARE' is her first urban fiction novel. Her
inspirations have been drawn from the many experiences she has endured,
observed, and inhabited in the streets of St. Louis.
Prologue
Tall houses surrounded
the large pond. There was a great distance between them, but somehow, they all
appeared together. He watched her through the upstairs window. Her hair was
thick and curly, but the strands were disarrayed. The dress she wore was a
dingy white. She sat before the pond with bare feet curled at her side. She
intrigued him.
Slowly, he approached
her from behind. The cold air caused the pond to release a steamy mist that
blended with the surrounding fog. He wanted to touch her, but he did not want
to frighten her. So he stood. Then, he looked up to the dimly lit sky. The sun
peeked through one great hole amongst the clouds. It appeared a million light
years away.
He then lowered his
head to look at her. She stretched out her legs before the pond and was about
to place her bare feet into the freezing water. “Stop!” he shouted.
He thought she would
turn completely around, but she didn’t. She only slightly turned, exposing the
side of her chocolate-brown face. He noticed the dimple as she smirked. With
her legs still outstretched, she dipped part of her feet into the water.

BLOG TOUR: Holy Mayhem w/ Pat G'Orge-Walker
About the Author
Pat G’Orge-Walker is
in a league of her own. This accomplished Christian author and comedienne has
an amazing mind and talent for turning her observations of church life into
gems of sidesplitting humor. It is her own special gift from God that enables
her to depict the often ridiculous antics of church folk without subverting the
Good News or watering down the potency of its message.
About the Book
They'd been laid off,
they're broke, and their faith is really being tried. But dedicated Mount Kneel
Down Church members Patience Kash and Joy Karry figure now is the perfect time
to pursue their other true calling--becoming private detectives. And if that
means putting up with their
thug-wannabe cousin Porky's delusions while hilariously interfering with their
famous detective godson Percy's investigations, it's still a heaven-sent
opportunity to hear all the town dirt and find customers...

Pat’s comedic gifts
range from a southern folk humor laden with parables to an intelligent wit that
appeals to a wide-variety of audiences. Her gift as a storyteller has attracted
a diverse and loyal fan base. Moreover, she is a captivating speaker who is as
every bit as poignant as she is funny.
Pat G’Orge-Walker has
paid a high price for the ever-present smile on her face. This Mt. Vernon, New
York PK (preacher’s kid) has survived a raging house fire; a violent assault; a
car crash that mangled her body and a viral infection that left her temporarily
blinded. Through it all, Pat quietly soaked in material from her father’s
Baptist congregation and her mother’s Pentecostal assembly to create the
stories that keep readers and audiences howling with laughter.
The First Lady of Gospel Comedy is a national
and Essence Best Seller, multi-award winner forged a successful career, as
author and comedian; and has paved the way for many in both fields. Pat’s
storytelling has been likened to Zora Neale Hurston’s folklore—a documentation
of American culture and church life in literature.
About the Book
When a thief steals
the prized family Bible right out from under Porky's nose and church funds are
missing on Patience's watch, these sisters-in-God find themselves sleuthing out
the strangest family and church secrets--and up against
someone more than ready to send them to their heavenly reward. Now, they'll
need their most inspired hunches, their not-real-fierce dog Felony, and their
license-to-missionary to uncover the truth and crack this holy case...
They don't have a clue
but they've got plenty of faith!!!
