In Belly Fires, even death can’t kill the flames of passion, Lieutenant Governor Charlene Ford loses everything in a deadly car crash and nothing feels the same. One minute, she is at the top of her game as the first African American lesbian lieutenant governor of New York State. The next minute, she is trying to keep a stiff upper lip as she watches the gravediggers bury the two walnut coffins containing her son JJ and her life partner, Regina. Her family is gone. Her world is gone. All she wants is to go away and disappear for a while; to just get lost until the pain in her heart stops. She sneaks away from her security escorts and borrows her chief of staff’s ancient jeep. She and Rusty, her loyal Akita, climb into the old jeep and head for parts unknown. As she crashes through the guardrail, she struggles to put on the brakes. The jeep’s brakes don’t work. Charlene stops fighting her fate as the car floats in mid-air for a long moment, then tumbles down the mountainside. The next time Charlene opens her eyes, the pain is tremendous. A handsome woman is standing over her with a […]

COMING OUT: LESBIAN AT 47

by B.L. in Most popular, Must read, Other, What the experts say, Worth a look 0 comments
I read this article from a worried parent years ago. I found the question interesting enough to write about. A woman, the mother says, “My 16-year-old son told me that he is gay. What should I do about it?” Today, I’d add my own experiences of informing my family that I was a lesbian. I wasn’t as young as that mother’s son was when he said, “Guess what Mom? I’m gay. Nope, that wasn’t me. I was 47-years old before I finally admitted to me that I was gay and then I admitted it to my family. You’re probably thinking isn’t 47 a little old to discover your orientation? Shouldn’t a person know before they reach 30 who or what they like? At 47, a person has lived over half her life in the shadows and maybe with the wrong gender as well. I understand your skepticism but permit me to explain my particular situation. I’m a Baby Boomer. When I grew up, young women were just beginning to flex their muscles. They were thinking about working in non-traditional jobs and considered living non-traditional lives. Most of the women I knew when I was a kid, wore traditional clothes to […]

Book covers: is a picture really worth a 1000 words? Can you tell a book by its cover?

by B.L. in Most popular, Must read, What the experts say, Worth a look 0 comments
Hello, Everyone, I’ve been trying to figure out what makes one book sell while another doesn’t. Let me explain what I mean. I published three books on October 31 of 2014. You heard right— on Halloween of last year. I chose that date because one of my books…. Oh, snap! I forgot to mention the titles of my novels. They are SAFE HAVEN, OLD MAN PETERSON, murder it’s all in the family and I’M YOUR BABY TONIGHT but what about tomorrow? Anyway, I chose All Hallows Eve to release my books like so many caged ravens because one of my books, I’M YOUR BABY TONIGHT, has an erotic, Halloween-themed masquerade ball in it. My first cover for I’M YOUR BABY TONIGHT had a busy Halloween-themed cover. The book barely sold. I knew my writing was good, but who would know that if the cover made readers pass on my book? Let’s see if I can dig up a copy of that cover? I frankly loved that cover, but when I posted on a site that reviews book covers, they didn’t. They asked me, “What do babies have to do with pumpkins, cigars, and guns?” They recommended that I shouldn’t combine […]

I AM CHARLIE?

January 8, 2015 Too bad these young men couldn’t be taken alive and interviewed I want to know why they were killed and did they actually do what the media and police says they did. Nobody seems to want to examine the racism and the prejudice against Muslims. I keep hearing the BS on from white media who are acting like they don’t understand this. These guys probably aren’t terrorists any more than MLK or Malcolm were. They are young men of color who don’t feel a part of society…duh…sounds familiar, doesn’t it? The USA manages to send its racism around the world without even trying hard, doesn’t it? Did I mention what happened in Paris and what’s happening here BLACK LIVES MATTER and the willingness the police unions to stage a Blue Flu action, could be teachable moments about white privilege and Black lives don’t matter attitudes? I’m not creative enough to design something but I sure can see the links. Can you?

NYC POLICE KILLINGS AND THE HAYMARKET MASSACRE

by B.L. in Most popular, Must read, Worth a look 0 comments
January 5, 2015, Dear Bill Fletcher, I read your article I agree with most of it. I do think that the young man who killed the 2 cops had a good reason to be in New York on that day. I believe that he wanted to eliminate everybody in his life that day including his family in Brooklyn who refused to let him into their family home. I’m betting that he hung out in the city wasting time at the mall, hoping if he returned to the family home he could get in and kill them too then himself. When his people wouldn’t provide access (I believe for a second time or third time that day) he grew enraged. He killed the next thing besides his family that represented authority… the two police officers sitting in their car. I just don’t believe he came to town with the intention to murder the two cops. I believe they represented a substitute for authority (that is his family) to his very sick mind. It saddens me that Pat Lynch and his fellow officers have used these murders to their benefit. It’s almost as if they were waiting for something like this to […]

The thing about white privilege

by B.L. in Most popular, Must read, Worth a look 0 comments
On December 19, 2014, I read this article about white privilege. For those of you who don’t know what white privilege is, you should read the article entitled, “The thing about white privilege,” on LinkedIn at http://linkd.in/1v996HQ. However, just in case you don’t want to read the article right now, here’s a definition. In brief, white privilege is what rules our country today. It’s what allows a young white person living in New York City not to understand what stop and frisk is because he or she will never experience being stopped by a police officer and searched (that is fondled) looking for drugs simply because he or she is white. It’s what allows a young white person to shop in an exclusive or brand name store and not worry about salespeople following them around because they might steal something even though they have more than enough money to pay for anything they want. It’s what allows an applicant with a white sounding to get a call back for the job over all other applicants with Black or Hispanic sounding names when everybody has the same qualifications. It’s allows a white couple to receive a lower mortgage rate or refinance […]
