Let's Talk Thursdays: Episode 12

Picture 001

Hello Awesome Visitors!  Let's talk for a minute.  I know it's been a while since I've been around but more on that in another episode.  

Today I am playing hostess of sorts to up and coming author Aray Brown.  She is doing a cover reveal for her novella Next of Kin: Blood is Thicker Than Water.  Sorry to disappoint those who expected to finally find out what I looked like...lol.

Before we see the cover, let's find out more about this talent!


Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Aray Brown emerged as a bright eyed scribe at an early age, which began her journey to self discovery.  Her short stories consisted of characters such as She-ra and He-man. Later on she decided to delve into something more real and personal.  She always had a passion for storytelling even though she couldn’t express it verbally.

After dabbling in other areas, she found her true calling and vowed to share her gift with the rest of the world.  Just like every other kid she grew up on Stephen King and Alfred Hitchcock, she became obsessed with horror.   Most importantly gore.  While she has different genres in mind for her next up and coming projects, her love of gruesome tales will always be eternal.

Now that we have some background on the writer, let's get some background on this cover:

The original cover just came to me when I was knee deep in the story.  I wanted it to be more gruesome looking (a thick trail of black blood, leading up to a woman’s corpse and the K carved in her) lol but I’m not knocking this cover at all.  Less is more.  The story however, was originally a script I was working on before I even started converting it. I remember thinking “this should be a book” That was back when I was a little confused on which path I should take (screenwriting or novel writing), I just went with my gut and haven’t regretted since.

Okay, guessing you guys are getting a bit impatient.  Well, so am I!
Drum roll, please....

Presenting Aray Brown's Next of Kin: Blood is Thicker Than Water, created by All Authors Graphic Design.

Blurb:  Medina Price always wanted to be a cop, just like her successors, until she gets thrown into a corrupt life at an early age due to witnessing her mother being slaughtered at the hands of a hired gunman.  Now that she's been seduced by darkness, she vows to get revenge, but she gets more than she bargained for.  What will Medina do?  At this juncture in her life Medina realizes that... Everyone is capable of something.

Networking:  Like me, Aray is easy to get a hold of.  Check out her links and check out this new book...coming soon! 


Until next time,

Desire

Show Me (Behind the Stuntin')

Show me the man behind the stuntin I keep getting this feelin’ that you straight frontin’ Your profile seems too squeaky clean from E-harmony; Your looks getting females shook and all over your Facebook, But it just seems something’s not quite right; I picked up on it from just the first night. No, you didn’t show me any disrespect, But you’ve given me so much stuff to reflect. You spit so much about the things you have, Like the new paint job you just got on your Jag, And the money you dropped on your fancy condo- Floor so clean you can eat off the floor! And I know for many women, you’re totally awesome! But I’m not like most; I proceed with caution. Yes, I’m pleased you finished at the top of your class And there’s no criminal record on your ass And that you’re dressed like a man from GQ- No, I’m not trying to knock what you do! But with all that being said, Tell me what’s going through your head. Without starting the statement wit...

Sweet Dream

-
The rays of the sun poke against my eyelids… Leave me be; I’m not ready to awaken! You see, I am having this most incredible dream! I encountered approximately 6’5” of butter pecan: Eyes, chestnut dark, yet gentle. Lips, full to the brim but soft, Promising himself to me: For us to be Together Forever. Isn’t that the name of a song Or in some song lyric? Saying he’d be bound to me, Not just when things are right, But whenever there are plights. Have I heard it all before? Holding my breath, wondering when he will go out that door Him saying, I won’t leave unless you tell me… Voice turning my iron clad resolve Into a bowl of grape jelly; Lips running a train all over my skin, Generating slow heat beneath my skin, Crooning is this good to you baby Do you like this Or how about this? Thrilled yet pissed That my body’s sensual combination lock Got Hacked by this brand new virus And my senses are spinning And I do...

Let's Talk Thursday: Intimacy Woes

Hello Awesome Visitors. Today marks another installment of ... I want to steer away from the writing and promoting for a moment. I am curious how intimacy has been impacted since the onslaught of this pandemic. For those of you who are coupled, and one or both of you are deemed essential, do you ever worry about the risk that you may get COVID-19? Has worry about COVID-19 in a state of coupledom worked to increase the intimacy or sexual activity, or has worry dampened your desires to do anything? For the uncoupled, does it make you happier to be single? If you have companions on standby, have you interacted with them less via practicing social distancing? Have you found new ways to communicate without physical visits? Or are you throwing caution to the wind and still getting together anyway? Well, in case any of you are shy about sharing, I will go first. I have been single for quite a while but haven't been mingling. I don't have a sex...
