But what happens when life takes you down a path that you never wanted or planned for. In Beautiful Problems you are given a bird’s eye view of real life problems. Some that we talk about everyday and others that are just as important or relevant but are never brought to life.

 About the Author: Stanley Fritz

stanley fritzBorn to Haitian immigrant parents in East New York, Brooklyn, Stanley is the elder of two children. An avid reader since the age of six, Stanley has basically been writing stories since he could tie his shoes. He published his first book “Beautiful Problems,” a collection of short stories that blur the line between fiction and reality, in February 2012.As a child, Stanley’s neighborhood was filled with loud mothers yelling for their children, bodega music and the sweet smells of Caribbean food. He found the energy and cultural diversity of East New York inspiring and his short stories quickly became popular with his grade school teachers.
That creative passion and drive propelled Stanley to enroll at SUNY College at Old Westbury to pursue a degree in English literature. Stanley quickly built a positive and productive reputation on his college campus as a leader. He held a number of leadership positions including a job as resident assistant and he was an active member of Chi Sigma Theta Fraternity Inc.
Stanley graduated in 2010 and quickly began working to achieve his two lifelong goals; political activism and writing. He currenly works for NYPIRG, an organization that advocates for students and serves the public good, in addition to co-hosting, co-producing, and engineering Let Your Voice Be Heard!. Oh yeah, and he wrote a book too. There’s a reason why they call him “Stan the Man”…this guy is motivated, smart, and oh yeah, ladies…he has a voice like hot melted butter.

January Jackson & Friends: The Premiere
An Erotic Debut Novel by Zonie Felder

An Erotic Novel by Zonie Felder
Beautiful women can—and will—stoop to ugly acts in the name of love, lust, and power.

In the face of unspeakable erotic betrayal, no one is safe. Behold how lust and passion can quickly cloud judgment—and how wrong choices will forever change a friendship. These lifelong friends will soon learn that beauty is truly only skin deep as the true ugliness of their souls is revealed by the most horrific of acts and emotions.

As young girls, January, Jasmine, Monica, Charlene, and Terry vowed to be friends forever. As teens, their emerging passions began to test the bonds of their friendship. As adults, lust, deception, and treachery cause their lives to come crashing down. Can their friendship survive the ultimate betrayal?

Their passion for life is what connected them as friends, but now this same passion threatens to break them apart.

When the dust settles, who will be left standing and able to pick up the pieces? Can friendship triumph over betrayal?”

Black Crow White Lie

A coming-of-age novel

by Candi Sary

 

“This is a praiseworthy, poignant work.” 
Publishers Weekly

 

Set amid the seedy motels of Hollywood, California, Black Crow White Lie tells the story of Carson Calley, a young boy who grows up living a transient lifestyle with his fortune-telling mother, Juliette Bravo, an alcoholic full of stories about their former lives together. Believing his mother’s tales about his special powers, Carson becomes a healer, with the people of Hollywood waiting in long lines to see him. Carson secretly saves the money he earns from healing in the hopes of visiting his war-hero father’s grave in Washington, DC. But before he goes, Carson discovers that there is more to his mother’s stories than he realizes. Learning the truth about her exaggerations and lies, Carson begins to question his very identity. Is he really the healer his mother told him he was?

A mesmerizing debut novel, Black Crow White Lie explores the power of family relationships and illustrates how easy it is to fall prey to the fantasies of those who love us.

Welcome to the Prelaunch of:
His Black Wings

Interview with Author:   Astrid Yrigollen

Coming November 2012 

“For fans of Beauty and the Beast and Jane Eyre,”His Black Wings”, is set in the future during a Victorian era revival.”

Claren Maidstone has been forced to flee her childhood home after the death of her parents and a vicious assault from a sadistic young man who intends to marry her. Claren changes her identity and finds employment as an assistant to the handsome Fredrick Lowood, a generous yet mysterious benefactor. However, she soon finds out his generosity comes at a price. Fredrick wishes for Claren to befriend his disfigured son who resides in seclusion at their estate, Westwind.

Fredrick Lowood knows what the history books do not teach, that the Grand Council built this new world of peace and beauty on hidden blood and greed. He has plotted for years to bring down the family that enslaved his own people. Suddenly, he has the last living heir in his grasp.

Etrigan Lowood rejects the world that forces him to hide. He is powerful, plagued with a terrible dark beauty: WINGS. It is these wings that carry him out only at night to watch the unwanted intruder in his home. A creature of refined instinct yet little social grace, he is strangely captivated by Claren but knows nothing of how her family’s dark past is intertwined with his own . Through their blossoming friendship, Etrigan realizes he still retains his human heart and yearns for Claren’s love.

Kurten Wandsworth is the only son of the Mayor of St.Marhen. Kurten lives his life fueled by cruelty and lust. Whatever he wants he takes and he wants Claren to be his wife even if it kills her. Scarred by Claren he hunts her down mercilessly until he can set a trap which she will never be able to escape from.

At home, though, there’s no getting away with anything. Krame’s father is an alcoholic, who beats him mercilessly, forces him to stand in the corner for hours on end, and locks him in an unlit stairwell without food or water. His mentally ill mother is also an alcoholic, and fails to give her son any scrap of emotional support. Things go on like this… until tragedy strikes.

The grim truth of Krame’s childhood stays hidden for forty years until he opens up to one of his old friends when he returns home to bury his father. In the process of recollecting his past, Krame discovers his father was not who he thought he was.

A Life Interrupted

by Kristi Loucks

“Jared BelaForte spent his life protecting the people he loves and the place he calls home. He works for a government appointed task force called The Greater Wilmington First Response Team or GWRT. A group comprised of his friend and half brother, Dylan Spencer. his father’s old partner on the Police Force, Alex Kelley and Alex’s cousin, Jules Devereaux. Rounding out the team was Shay McElroy, a profiler who also happened to be the love of his life.

Everything seemed perfect in his world, people he cared about surrounded him and they were close to putting an end to a known trafficker who dealt in drugs and women. But in one moment, the man Jared had spent years trying to put away interrupted that life.

Sergei Dolenov is that man. He deals in drugs and dolls, a family business you might say. He had been able to stay under the radar in the sleepy port of North Carolina that he called home these days. But when the Governor put together a task force to disrupt his business, he took on a new target. Jared BelaForte.

After two years of torture and pain, Jared believed he would die in Dolenov’s “care”. But just when all hope is lost, an opportunity to escape presents itself. Two years to the day, Dylan got the phone call. Jared BelaForte was in the local ER, and he was alive. Can he pick up the pieces before the man responsible returns to finish the job he started?

This is a story of survival and the powers of love and family. It contains vivid details about one man’s fight to regain his freedom and return to the one’s he loved.”
