After struggling with different types of abuse as a child, she knew that, she wanted to make a difference in the lives of teenagers that are experiencing some form of abuse and have no one to turn to. She knows she can’t save everyone, but can make a difference in the life of one person. Racquel’s life hasn’t always been easy and is no stranger to drama. She recently came home from serving a 37 month sentence in Federal Prison for selling crack cocaine.  Being new to the system and under pressure with no one to turn to; she decided to start writing. That was a form of escaping the pain of being away from her family. Her novel “Bottom Bitch” was created and she spent the next three years perfecting her craft and writing a drama filled novel with twisted scenes and its own unique path.    Racquel relocated to Atlanta, GA with her family. She is currently working on memoir of her struggles and tribulations throughout her life.  She’s also the CEO of Black Destiny Publications with several authors signed to her company. 01:05:00Sistahs On LitnoRacquel Williams,Bottom Bitch series,Black Destiny Publications,book,Sistahs on LitRacquel Williams was born in Kingston, Jamaica and later relocated to Mount Vernon, New York.  She studied Psychology at the University of Phoenix and had chttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/sistahs-on-lit/2014/10/21/sistahs-on-lit-chats-with-author-adrianne-cunninghamBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/sistahs-on-lit/2014/10/21/sistahs-on-lit-chats-with-author-adrianne-cunningham/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/sistahs-on-lit/2014/10/21/sistahs-on-lit-chats-with-author-adrianne-cunninghamTue, 21 Oct 2014 22:30:00 GMTSistahs on Lit chats with Author Adrianne CunninghamAdrianne L.

Although her citizenship certificate now reads the United States of America, she considers herself a citizen of the world. Sure she has not physically been around the world and back, but she’s travelled in her mind and dreams. Janice is an author. She enjoys writing about social issues and personal experiences. Janice’s debut release was entitled Damaged Girls. She uses the three books in that series to detail the effects of different forms of abuse, discussing issues that are known to be taboo. Her latest release, Jumping Ship, is a dedication to her country of birth and an introductory novella to the Island Hopping Series – due out in 2014. It’s poised to be a colorful and emotional experience of life, love and family. Janice enjoys reading. And is drawn to stories with distinct characters that she can love or hate, characters she can form alliances with or characters that she can swear off and despise. She is also weak for a good cultural tale, preferably in the form of historical fiction. Janice loves to be taken off guard by clever language and settings. Janice is also a devout supporter and promoter of other authors through social media.

Born and reared in Washington DC DK draws upon the lessons learned in the rich diversity of the Nation's Capitol for that touch of realism that escapes most authors today. DK Walker's 1st novel, The Ugly Side of Sex was so vivid and unapologetic that readers relished in the rawness of it all, but by books end quickly found out that sex was only the vehicle to the lacking message sorely needed today.

Even though I’m the author of six novels, I recently worked as the data manager for an HIV program in New York. Similarly, I spent a few years working as a web design consultant in the Caribbean, so you can probably get a sense of my work by looking at this site. In the fall of 2013 I'll start my PhD in the sociology of development—essentially, the study of how poor countries can advance socio-economically. Given my interest in (global) poverty and inequality, my novels tend to have a “social commentary” aspect. Writing, for me, has always been a way to make sense of the world. A good book is like a good conversation, in that it opens us up new possibilities and challenges our lazy assumptions about life.

His novel stands alone in two ways: First, it provides a passionate backdrop of just how fragile an institution like marriage can be. Secondly, it clearly reveals that there is indeed – a thin line between love and hate. His second release entitled “Chalk Outline Confessions” is a serial killer non-stop thriller which cleverly details just how far a woman will go in which she has been scorned by her deceased and double-crossing spouse.

In 2007, Peterson debuted with the eye-opener, Am I A Priority In Your Life Or An Option? a novel that provides an inside look on the male perspective of juggling women. Also released in the same year was One Last Cry, which was well received by the reading public. Fascinated with the feedback readers were providing, Manswell penned Love Stories #1 One Last Cry: Confessions of the Other Man in Spring 2008. Seeing the results of what a man could bring to the literary community, Manswell decided to delve deeper with another persona, Dark Chocolate. Dark’s mystery remained cloaked with a logo that kept his online fans wanting more. Upon the debut of the Cougar Club in 2009, Dark’s fans were following his voice with a successful online radio show that captivated hundreds of listeners.
