WARNING: Growing Up Can B Hazardous 2 your Health
I write this half jokingly, but very much seriously about bullying and negotiating those adolescent wonder years.
I wrote the novel
while entertaining the thought of making high school life entertaining, fun and full of the wonder of discovering self as one is coming of age. The story was meant to show that though you may feel weak and think of your bully as someone being powerful, having it all together and confident; often times bullies are just as insecure and lost as their victims are. In addition to that, they are often victims and prey to a much greater force be it internal or external; be it peer pressure or familial expectations.
The power I feel that victims of bullying have, is the power to recognize that the bully's are often time caught up in a vicious cycle of of expectancy either from their own peers and/ or family; which is why in Taming of The Golden Boys the reader is able to go inside the minds of some of the bullies and hear what they are thinking and feeling.
So I'm asking the reading audience, is it possible for the bully and his prey to become friends and or fall in love with each other? What do you think?

When In Love?
When you in love you ____? (fill in blank)
Hey guys I'm working on a new novel... Hmm, couldn't tell you exactly what's it about but it is romance one of my fav genres.... But I would like some ideas from different perspectives about how people are when they are in love. How do you feel? How do act? What do you expect? What do you do? Are older people in love different from young people in love?
Btw, I can share the title (working) with you: Cougars, Tigers & Bears: The Playground
There's a lot of mixed love in the story, older women younger men, friends with benefits, unlikely pairing that breaks rules, hearts and illusions of reality; love relationships vs. relationships built on convenience and social status; good people loving bad people.
They say that love makes people do strange (weird) things; therefore I'm asking you what have you done strange (or not so strange) when you are/ were in love?

AUTHORS be HAPPY
I'm so excited! I'm so happy that finally one of my novels have come to life in print. So I went overboard sharing my joy and my excitement with various communities. Here's one of the replies I received: (I won't give away the site that it's posted on)
_____________________________
All caps because the author is Really Important ... yep.
Post icon because the author is much more Important than other authors ... yep.
Thread title gives no clue about what the story is about, what formats it's in, etc. ... yep.
Post contains Flash ... yep.
And most of all, post is telling me what I think, what I want, and what I've said ... yep.
/me flees for dear life.
Whatever this book is, I will stay far, far away.
______________________
Isn't it great how there are just some people that when others are smiling they seem to go out of their way to rain on your parade? But it's okay cuz life isn't about the rain that comes down on your parade but rather about still being able to enjoy the show despite it. So when you are smiling it's okay if others are frowning and sitting around trying to find useless ways of stealing your joy. Remember God loves you and has blessed the works that He has given you. So writers and authors keep on writing and being happy with all of your accomplishments. And for the rest of you who may be reading this; if you are happy stay happy and don't let them steal your joy either. And to those of you who would try to rain on our parades and steal our joy; get busy living life or just go somewhere and die. Life really is too short.

Recalibrate My Love Series...
Is kicking off with my very first addition "Sometimes It's Only Sex" The series is being created with the objective for women to take a closer look at the way they love and why do they love the men that they do. The first novel in this series is "Sometimes It's Only Sex", however I have been contemplating adding
to it due to the nature of it's story.
Love can exist in two forms: as a new beginning; metamorphose or continue as it is, let it stand, maintain. It is up to each of us to decide what is working best for us. Do we stay or do we forge ahead with anew beginning? Love is change and change is scary; but so is remaining static.
For all of the women out there who never quite feel like they’re enough. For all of the women out there whose men are leaving them feeling a little lacking and leaving them hungry for more, comes:
Recalibrate My Love presents…
Sometimes it's only sex and we need to ask God to give us the wisdom to know the difference. From the new Recalibrate My Love Series comes a novel about learning to be more than enough first for ourselves and learning to love the me who I am. Meet Princess Aptakisic the rigid college professor and Chris Rock the professional exotic dancer in the highly charged erotic story.
The story Sometimes It's Only Sex, is a love story about a Princess Atakisic a 30 year old assistant professor of a college who falls in love too easily and puts more effort in picking out her clothes than the men whom she allows into her life; and Chris Rock aka Body Language a 25 year old exotic dancer who happens to be raising his 4-year old daughter. For him, women and sex are passe- been there done that. On the outside he looks like the average man and women mistakenly judge him based on the cover. However he's looking for a deeper and more meaningful relationship with a woman; just like he had or better with his daughter's mother before she passed. If you would like, take a sneak peek at this brand new novel as it is in the process of being written. Sometimes it's only sex and we need to ask God to give us the wisdom to know the difference.
