by Pat G’Orge-Walker (Author)
From Publishers Weekly
In the latest loving church spoof from G’Orge-Walker (Sister Betty! God’s Calling You, Again!), Sister Betty and her fellow evangelists get shipped off to Las Vegas to attend the evangelical Mothers Conference.
After Betty and her two nemeses, Mother Sasha Pray Onn and Mother Bea Blister (about whom the Reverend Bling thinks to himself Doggone Alzheimer’s gonna make those two old crones destroy my place of business), arrive with much hullabaloo, Bea spots someone she recognizes but can’t place.
The narrative then shifts to Zipporah, a beautiful homeless woman, and G’Orge-Walker expertly balances touching emotion with the ladies’ antics as Zipporah gets a job that eventually leads her to the ladies and learns some things about herself in the process. Bickering, gambling and comeuppance are all on the agenda as the crew, far from the Pelzer, S.C., parish whence they came, negotiate Sin City. (A
pr.)

In her latest, most soulful and side-splitting send-up of church life yet, Pat G’Orge-Walker’s hilarious cast of parishioners battle their worst vices, the funny and serious sides of aging, and each other… Mother Sasha Pray Onn and Mother Bea Blister live on the edge–of Christianity, that is, and they’re about to knock Sister Betty off her sanctified perch. As the senior citizen matrons of the Ain’t Nobody Saved but Us-All Others Goin’ to Hell church, their devotion to the Lord must compete with their secret passions for gambling and grudges against each other.
But their long-held animosity is about to be complicated when the new pastor, the Reverend Leotis Tom, wants to reorganize the Mothers Board in time for the upcoming Las Vegas Conference and asks a reluctant Sister Betty to run for President.After a scuffle at a secret Bingo game at the No Hope Now-Mercy Nevah church, the bumbling Reverend Bling Moe Bling pacifies Mothers Blister and Pray Onn by giving them two tickets to Las Vegas where the annual Mothers Board Conference will be held. In Vegas, Mother Blister befriends a destitute young woman named Zipporah who does something no one has ever been able to: touch Mother Blister’s heart. But in trying to help her, Mother Blister finds out Zipporah’s past might be at complete odds with Mother Blister’s present.
As the chaos and comedy get out of hand, so do the questions about who is who, who did what to whom, and where and when. Just as surprising are the answers, which show that despite everyone’s best–or worst–intentions, from cradle to grave, it’s God who is ultimately in charge.

If the wrong opportunity came along at the right time....what would you do?? Santee Mitchell seems to keep coming up short in life. At least that's how it seems in her mind. Growing up she constantly played second best to her older sister Sonya, and in adulthood, the patterned painfully continues.
She's stuck with a two-timing, drug-dealing boyfriend, while her sister lucked up and hooked a professional ball player. Her money is always running short, when it ran at all. The last straw comes in the form of an eviction notice coupled with an ill-timed pregnancy. Determined to turn her luck around, as well as put some money in the bank, Santee turns to her friend Monique and is immediately hypnotized by the sparkle of her diamond encrusted world. But what she doesn't realize is that help from Monique comes with a price.
A price that not even Santee is willing to pay. Haunted by a fire that still burns for her ex and driven by a wanton lust for a trick turned savior, Santee's plan starts to unravel and it may be too late to right her wrongs when Monique turns up dead and she is fingered for the gruesome crime; revealing a secret that changes her forever and forcing her to look for answers in the one place she's tried to avoid - inside herself.

by Wanda D. Hudson
LuvMe is a tantalizing collection of romantic and sensually charged erotic stories.Your imagination will roam in pleasure. Your body will explode with heat. Sheree, Bertice, and Eva are a few of the sexy ladies in LuvMe that promise you your days, afternoons, nights – and everything in between - will never be lonely.
Read the words. Delve into your soul. Find your heart. LuvMe – Because Everybody Needs A Little Luv
Listen to the Intimate Conversation Interview above to fully explore the passion and drama brought to you by "The Sexy One" author Wanda D. Hudson!
Wait for Love: A Black Girl's Story is my first novel. This book is the story of Lynnette Donna Lee's life.
If you have ever been in love, or are longing for that special someone, you've probably experienced many of the same emotions as she. Join her on this adventurous, sometimes humorous, and sometimes painful literary romp. Lynnette bares her soul and her body many times in search of the man she'll marry. The only problem she has is with the men she chooses to give her all to. They show her they don't love her and then go to extremes to get the point across. Why does she keep holding on when the only love involved is nowhere to be found?
"It's the story of someone realizing that life is living her, she's not living life," Hudson said. "She gets to a point where she says, that's it."
If this is a question that you have asked yourself please treat yourself to Wait for Love: A Black Girl's Story. Lynnde's conscience and her soul ask her repeatedly why does she feel worthless without a man. Lynnde never answers them, but instead, takes her life on a journey that shouldn't be traveled. Here is a brief excerpt to take you into her world.
