NEW BOOK REVEALS SECRET OF LIFE'S BOUNDARIES

 

Novel:  1 Who Luvs U More

Oh, to be young, dumb and full of your self in the 80's.   Alisa is a money grubbing gold digger who sashays through her days wearing this title like a tiara. Feeling life's all about the expensive gifts and money a man can give her, Alisa follows the steps of her mentor and basks in the glory of using men, until she stumbles upon Omar.

Omar is a Muslim trying to fight his demons and find his way back to the proper Islamic behavior he knew as a child.   Distraught over disagreements that divided the Muslim community a decade prior, where many Muslims became victim to inner city chaos, Omar became a product of his environment and is at the head of that chaos.

Tired of hearing her mother rant and rave about her gold digging ways, Alisa takes her great grandmother's advice,  "Always get a man who loves you more than you love him." Stumbling upon Omar in his brand new Cadillac, Alisa decides to make him her man, or rather, her victim, or will the tables turn?

Hell erupts, splatters like geysers, while skeletons and bones fly out of closets, in this edgy novel, Life Knows No Bounds,  "1 Who Luvs U More."

 

 

 

 

 
BPM: Tell us about your passion for writing. Why do you write? What drives you? What impact do you want your book to make on the readers?
What drives me is my passion for story telling and entertaining the readers or listeners (I've been summoned to randomly make up and tell stories).  I write to enlighten or to pull the readers coattail to an issue or subject matter.

 

I pray the impact that my books have on readers is that:  The upper class begin to learn and are introduced to the other classes and what they live and experience, why they make the decisions they make, etc.;   I give the middle class a chance to learn not to look down their noses at the poor or lower class, but have a respect for their struggle and to recognize that they are being played in the game as well.

 

I also give the less fortunate a chance to not revere the upper class so much, as their problems are as great as their money.  My writing offers the lower class a way to reach for the stars by obtaining KNOW-HOW.   I teach them how to work hard to maintain that sense of "down-to-earthness" we posses, that the other classes wish they had and seek, but can't find because of the airs they put on and their ongoing evil to maintain what they have.   I want to show the poor or lowered class that we really aren't missing as much as we believe, and we're much happier than we think.

BPM: Introduce us to  Life Knows No Bounds: One Who Loves You More.
The book is about Alisa, a money grubbing gold digger who's following in the foot steps of the older girls who came before her. She's got several men thinking she's their woman, and when one drops her off at home, another picks her up.

 

She has gold, diamonds, money and more, but when her family gets on her case about the trouble it's causing, Alisa decides to get her one man with riches to take care of her, thus Omar. Omar has his own issues trying to stop hustling drugs and going back to being the Muslim he grew up as without the street troubles, but when he and Alisa come together, it's like clash of the titans and he loses his focus. Then, Hell erupts in, "Life Knows No Bounds: One Who Loves You More."

BPM: What are some of their specific issues or problems addressed in this book?
I guess using men for money is a quick resolve to being poor or getting the things they want. With sex so free - for - all these days, some of them look at it like a quick harmless gain if they do partake in sex for money. But majority in this new game they play are not having sex with these men they make their mark. They instead make the man think they're his woman, and then get that money, jewelry, credit cards, etc. And it's dangerous because these men REALLY think these girls are their woman, their mate.

 

To top it all off, the girls have rules also. Three, four or six months tops. Then, they find some ill excuse to drop them and get a new sucker. Because there was no sex involved, meaning he waited on her, a lot of the men take it personal and feel played and some have been known to be dangerous.

BPM: Ultimately, what do you want readers to gain from your book?
Enlightenment; enlightenment on the dangers of playing around with people's emotions, etc. I want them to feel like they gained something that can help them or help them, help someone else. Really, I want them to sit as many young girls/women down, like they used to say in the '70's, "Tell 'em like it is!" Let them know feelings are precious and not to be taken lightly. Get your own! Get a degree; get a trade.

Upcoming releases: There's the second book in the "Life Knows No Bounds" chronicle titled, "A Blessing and A Curse," then there is a non-fiction book on Writing.   So many students in high school and college are having a hard time writing properly; scoring low on SAT's and essays and research papers in school.   So, I want to shed light on that. I have a writing component I used with my students and they still email me today saying Thank You because it helped them with their college writing. Those books will be forthcoming in the spring season 2011.   For more information on me and the book, Life Knows No Bounds: One Who Loves You More, please visit our website at: www.AroundTheWayPublishing.com
