This odessey began when my reluctant reader needed a book for his English class. He just doesn't like to read, he'd rather play hockey, so it was hard, but I finally convinced him to check out…Continue

California Style Black-eyed Peas recipe
Posted on October 17, 2016 at 11:39am 0 Comments 1 Like
This is from my little cookbook.
California Style Black-eyed Peas
Being a diverse, multi-ethnic, multi-racial family, we've added many traditions to our holiday celebrations. Black-eyed peas are a traditional African-American dish, served on New Year’s Day. We also serve black-eyed peas, along with tamales, on Christmas Day, right next to the turkey, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. My recipe is a bit different than the traditional recipe. I haven't had any…
ContinueMake it easy on your formatter
Posted on April 10, 2015 at 1:33pm 0 Comments 3 Likes
When you start to write your manuscript, make it easy for the formatter. Start off by changing your paragraph format (see picture) so your indents are automatically set at 0.50. No tabs, no 5 spaces to indent.
Also, no spaces between paragraphs, it's one or the other. Indented paragraphs OR block paragraphs with a space between. Not both.
Trust me, your formatter will bless you for this.…
ContinueMy short story that introduces Bitter
Posted on January 3, 2015 at 12:30pm 1 Comment 1 Like
I wrote this short story for an anthology. Happily, it was turned down, because now it's going to be the free introduction to my character and the longer story (dare I think novel?) that I'm working on right now.
So, I'm going to share the whole story with you. I hope you like it.

ContinueGetting your children's/middle school/YA books in school libraries
Posted on June 7, 2014 at 10:30am 3 Comments 1 Like
I posted this information on Facebook during a discussion in the Reading in Black group, but I should share it with you all.
My sister is a middle school science teacher, so she filled me in on this and HIGHLY recommended that you authors who are writing children, teen or YA books submit your books, or have the teachers who are using your books in the classroom request that your books have quizzes developed and added to the Accelerated Reading Program AND Scholastic Reading…

Product Review Updates #2
Posted by Stephen Alexander on June 22, 2018 at 9:06am 0 Comments 1 Like
Occasionally, I will alert fellow members to product updates by creators I have reviewed in the past year or so.
- AfroFiTV has released an interesting trailer for Tyranny. It looks like he'll be putting up new episodes this year. Check out the trailer if you want to see some recent SFX work of his. https://youtu.be/TcvFoNohK-k
- Iam Bennu, artist and mastermind behind The Sunhawks, has completed more works in the series that still look delightfully weird. Here's the link at Comixology.
- Arcellius Scott has a book of starship prototypes out on Amazon right now. Check it out…
Who owns the Harlem Renaissance?
Posted by Turtel Onli on June 22, 2018 at 8:26am 0 Comments 1 Like
Who owns the rights to most of the material, books, and music, and posters sold to school systems annually to expouse the values of the "Harlem Renaissance"? Are these publishers and distributors as Black as the content? Do due royalties go to the hires or estates of the folks served up as creative or historic icons? Or are these source of revenue leeching massive profits away from the community being educated?
This processing of "the New Negro" is still making money .....but for whom?
Not to mention how this nexus of schools, publishers and distributors, which tends to avoid indie Black owned operations, and pimps Black Culture when it comes to the money.…

SKYCITY TALKRADIO
THE UNDERGROUND BY ROXANNE BLAND
Life as alpha of a werewolf pack is anything but predictable. But even Parker Berenson is surprised by the latest twist: he’s fallen in love with a space alien. Problem is, he suspects Melera, his sexy new flame, might be the serial killer terrorizing Seattle. Or maybe she isn’t. After all, just because she’s an interstellar assassin doesn’t mean she’s guilty.

Thanks for dropping in Ruth!
Thank you, Ruth!
Thanks Ruth.
The site has rules and I can't have chaos, arguments and foolishness going on.
What bothers me is I hate to be lied on. That girl knew exactly what she was doing by posting that 3 separate times over there. When I asked people to cut it out the others did. The 3 that got deleted kept mess going for 3 days. This bus is moving in positive directions, if you not going where we’re going, you need to get off. I'm glad your going where we are going.
Hello Ruth,
Not at all, and thanks for helping get the word out! I'll do the same regarding your website.
Hi Ruth:
Thanks for the add! Hope you're having an awesome weekend too :)
Hey thanks! I just checked out the site! Wow...didn't think anybody but me read ZELDE M'TANA!
Yea if you're going to be kind enough to reference my book I think a warning for violence and harsh language is needed. But I'm not sure of the age range. 18+ to be sure!
Night
That's not a problem! You've done so much for me already that it seemed like an obvious thing to do! XD!
Welcome Ruth!
