My Good-bye :(

 

It is hard saying goodbye to SORMAG who has been a part of my literary life since the beginning. I am forever grateful to you, LaShaunda, for giving me the opportunity to be a reviewer. That opportunity led me on a path of fullfiling my dream to be an author.

As a reader, I looked for SORMAG for book suggestions showcasing African-American authors. As an author, you provided me and others an avenue to reach readers that may not have never known of our work if it hadn't been for SORMAG.

Hello LaShaunda,

I am so sorry to see your magazine go away. I am not an author but followed you since what seems like forever. I think I discovered you in an old AOL chat group! Then met you in person at a RSJ convention in Orlando or Dallas. I understand about letting a dream go since this year was the closing of my book store. The virus was the last blow. I am now retired for the second time in this wonderful journey of life. I am blessed to Still be here, have my sight, my memories and most important family and an abundance of friends. 

Thank you for your promoting our authors! I will continue to get your emails and look forward to staying informed of new and known authors.

Thanks again for all you do!

Eighteen years ago, Swift Hawk was sent to the earthly realm to try to break an enchantment that curses his clan to a half-life in the mists. As his allotted time runs short, a vision gives him a glimpse of his last chance to free his people: A delicate young woman with translucent white skin and star-like hair.

 

He never thought his sacred vision would possess the tongue of a shrew.

 

Angelia Honeywell and her brother Julian fled Mississippi amid a hail of rotten tomatoes and flying bullets. She only fired back in self-defense, but now they are on the run as their father pleads their case to the governor.

 

With Julian trying to pass himself off as a wagon train scout, Angel knows they need help. When the handsome, black-eyed Swift Hawk agrees to save their skins, she can’t help but be drawn to his compelling gaze. But as they come together in a blaze of desire, the dark shadows of the curse descend, threatening to divide them forever.

SORMAG's Summer Reads - A Duke The Lady and A Baby By Vanessa Riley

 

 

Created by a shrewd countess, The Widow’s Grace is a secret society with a mission: to help ill-treated widows regain their status, their families, and even find true love again—or perhaps for the very first time . . .
 
  When headstrong West Indian heiress Patience Jordan questioned her English husband's mysterious suicide, she lost everything: her newborn son, Lionel, her fortune—and her freedom. Falsely imprisoned, she risks her life to be near her child—until The Widow's Grace gets her hired as her own son’s nanny. But working for his unsuspecting new guardian, Busick Strathmore, Duke of Repington, has perils of its own. Especially when Patience discovers his military strictness belies an ex-rake of unswerving honor—and unexpected passion . . .

 
A wounded military hero, Busick is determined to resolve his dead cousin’s dangerous financial dealings for Lionel’s sake. But his investigation is a minor skirmish compared to dealing with the forthright, courageous, and alluring Patience. Somehow, she's breaking his rules, and sweeping past his defenses. Soon, between formidable enemies and obstacles, they form a fragile trust—but will it be enough to save the future they long to dare together?

Book Of The Day - Black States of America by d.E Rogers

What would have happened if President Lincoln had never been shot in Ford’s Theatre and managed to survive in a parallel universe?

 

Set in an alternative universe, the Black States of America - Real Black Power, follows an alternate timeline where President Lincoln lived. Thanks to a talented scientist and a former slave's hot air balloon ride through a black hole in the sky, they made contact with President Lincoln which alternated the universe and prevented him from being assassinated.

For almost a century and a half the universe which President Lincoln had died had no knowledge of the other universe existence. It wasn't until the year 2000 when King Jasani, the King of Sea Islands, decided to invite the other universe to share in the technological advances his world had discovered. What should have been a humanitarian mission to share technology soon took a disastrous turn when the United States chose to take the technology for themselves and slaughtered the peaceful people from the Sea Islands.

 

In the following slaughter and chaos of the unprovoked attack that took place, King Jasani, Queen Ayanna, and some of their entourage fled, leaving their son Lincoln behind believing him to be dead and lost to them forever.

 

Twenty-five years passed, and Lincoln chose to take a simple DNA test. Having no memory of his parents, he'd always been curious about who he was and where he came from. The results of that DNA test would alter his course and change his life as he knew it forever. Unbeknown to Lincoln, he was setting off a chain reaction which would have a flow-on effect throughout both worlds. 

 

Author d. E. Rogers presents an alternative universe based on President Lincoln surviving and the difference that could have made throughout the world. If you have been searching for a science-fiction book that will have you reading late into the night, then the Black States of America - Real Black Power could be just what you've been looking for!
