Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

He played deception like music, the way Miles played his horn. Every note moved her until she almost had no will of her own. Pregnant and alone, 26 year old Dahlia Reynolds recounts the events that led to her imprisonment in Thailand, an unlikely place for a Sista from Waycross, Georgia. Nervously awaiting the ultimate punishment, Dahlia realizes how far she is from Washington, DC, her best friends, Stacy and El, her job as a Pentagon analyst and from Antoine Blackwell, her occasional lover. This could be the end of a journey full of treachery and deceit launched by a mystery from her family's past and a quilt she inherited from a slave ancestor, all started with a chance encounter with a much older man. Mackenzie Powell stole Dahlia's heart and holds the key to a treasure that made her an unknowing pawn in a high stakes game of murder and intrigue that began deep inside a South African mine before she was born. Dahlia was swept away by the Bentley driving Mackenzie's classy good looks and debonair charm, but "Mac" has a secret and only The Stone has the power to unlock it and make sense of what appears to be a series of unrelated events. She wonders: Is Mac hero or villain?

Strawman's Hammock

By: Darryl Wimberley

On a chilly October morning, Barrett "Bear" Raines finds himself on the campground of Linton Loyd, one of the richest men in Florida, watching Linton clean his latest catch. Barrett does not understand why he, an African-American detective for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, has been invited to the rich man's playground, but soon discovers that Linton wants something from him: Linton wants Barrett to run for county sheriff and Linton will help sponsor the campaign. Barrett doesn't know what to make of the appealing offer and decides to think about it. The following week at work, Barrett learns of a case in which illegal immigrants are being forced to bale straw under rigged contracts and the department wants to find out just how wide spread the problem is. Barrett agrees to accompany Jarold Pearson, an old acquaintance and game warden, to the woods of Linton Loyd's straw baling company. However, the men find more than a group of scared migrant workers: in a secluded tin shack, they discover the body of a young woman pinned to the wall, almost as if she had been crucified. Based on evidence at the scene, Linton's only son becomes the prime suspect, but what does that do for Barrett's chance at sheriff? In a setting mysterious in itself, where an ancient woman could really be the witch people call her, Barrett faces horrible crime and a solution that continually changes shape, as elusive as the strange lights that flicker in his native swamps.

Death's Dreams

By: Darryl Dawson

When your work is death, there is no peaceful sleep. The nightmares of mortal men are terrifying enough. But imagine if your job description was "harvester of souls," and every day and night brings you to all manner of death, from ordinary to unexpected, from gruesome to profane. Would lying down to rest bring a flood of nightmares so intense and brutal they strip away your sanity? In this new short story collection, Darryl Dawson, author of THE CRAWLSPACE and IF IT BLEEDS, invites you into the mind of the Fourth Horseman and shows you every disturbing dream. An evil clown painting, a burn victim's revenge, a dead girl's photograph, a surreal subway. These are just a few of the things that keep the Grim Reaper awake. Tonight you will sleep with Death, and his dreams are anything but sweet.

This Day In Comedy

The Ethnic Encyclopedia of Laughter

By: Frank Holder,Darryl Littleton

On This Day in Comedy is not just an encyclopedia, but a celebration of comedy. In humorous prose the book takes readers through the often-neglected subcultures of comedy in America, acknowledging the inclusiveness of the performers as well as shows and films that made this art form so vital to comics of all backgrounds. It's artistically criminal that a search for Native American or Asian comedy information yields a virtually blank slate. Look for Middle Eastern comics and you'll be provided information on the region's comic book revolution, and search results for Latin comedy are confined to a series of outdated articles. This encyclopedia will offer rare and in some cases never-before-seen photos and obscure facts, making it an indispensable comedy essential.

My Soul Has Grown Deep

Black Art from the American South

By: Cheryl Finley,Randall R. Griffey,Amelia Peck,Darryl Pinckney

My Soul Has Grown Deep considers the art-historical significance of contemporary Black artists and quilters working throughout the southeastern United States and Alabama in particular. Their paintings, drawings, mixed-media compositions, sculptures, and textiles include pieces ranging from the profoundly moving assemblages of Thornton Dial to the renowned quilts of Gee’s Bend. Nearly sixty remarkable examples—originally collected by the Souls Grown Deep Foundation and donated to The Metropolitan Museum of Art—are illustrated alongside insightful texts that situate them in the history of modernism and the context of the African American experience in the twentieth-century South. This remarkable study simultaneously considers these works on their own merits while making connections to mainstream contemporary art. Art historians Cheryl Finley, Randall R. Griffey, and Amelia Peck illuminate shared artistic practices, including the novel use of found or salvaged materials and the artists’ interest in improvisational approaches across media. Novelist and essayist Darryl Pinckney provides a thoughtful consideration of the cultural and political history of the American South, during and after the Civil Rights era. These diverse works, described and beautifully illustrated, tell the compelling stories of artists who overcame enormous obstacles to create distinctive and culturally resonant art. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}

Humans, Nature, and Birds

Science Art from Cave Walls to Computer Screens

By: Darryl Wheye,Donald Kennedy

This book invites readers to enter a two-floor virtual "gallery” where 60-plus images of birds reflecting the accomplishments of human pictorial history are on display. These are works in a genre the authors term Science Art--that is, art that says something about the natural world and how it works. Darryl Wheye and Donald Kennedy show how these works of art can advance our understanding of the ways nature has been perceived over time, its current vulnerability, and our responsibility to preserve its wealth. Each room in the gallery is dedicated to a single topic. The rooms on the first floor show birds as icons, birds as resources, birds as teaching tools, and more. On the second floor, the images and their captions clarify what Science Art is and how the intertwining of art and science can change the way we look at each. The authors also provide a timeline linking scientific innovations with the production of images of birds, and they offer a checklist of steps to promote the creation and accessibility of Science Art. Readers who tour this unique and fascinating gallery will never look at art depicting nature in the same way again. Published with assistance from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's Public Understanding of Science and Technology Program.

Private Investigations

Book One and Book Two

By: Darryl C. Vickers

Private Investigations Book One and Two By: Darryl C. Vickers Book One: Private Investigations revolves around the world of Sam Aquino, an old fashioned Filipino private detective who relies on his wits, people skills, and if necessary a few tricks up his sleeve to solve some mysterious cases within his local Westlake community. But Sam isn't alone, he's got a diverse community of friends and family to help him because that's what people do. Westlake is a community loosely based on my experiences growing up in my diverse neighborhood in San Diego, Ca. during the 60's and 70's. Things were much different back then. People knew each other, and families weren't limited to blood relatives. There was a sense of community and good will towards everyone no matter what their gender, race, skin color or ability. In Book One, what starts out as Sam’s frustration with a high tech surveillance firm operating nearby and a case involving the missing daughter of a client, who’s a close long time friend of Sam’s asst. ends up intersecting, forcing Sam to use his street smarts and personality skills to gain information to solve a human trafficking case. And that case directly involves members of his extended/blended family, which includes his personal assistant Donna, Sam’s daughter in-law Christine as well as his college aged granddaughter Megan and her close friends who have detective skills of their own. Mystery, intrigue, suspense, and coincidences are all intertwined throughout this fast paced adventure featuring multi-generational and multi ethnic characters, who sometimes speak different languages, including many of the female characters who display smart and strong personalities. Book Two: Private Investigations is not only a story about Private Investigator Sam Aquino (an old fashioned Filipino private detective) who goes about investigating his cases within his local Westlake community, but a story about promoting goodwill and diversity that mirrors the world we now live in which consists of many people of diverse cultures, races, economic backgrounds and abilities. Readers will find the world of Private Investigations very different. It concentrates on those human connections. You’ll find the characters in Private Investigations aren’t too far from reality and not too much the reader can’t relate to. Private Investigations celebrates all our differences yet shows how including all of these different traits makes us a very powerful community. All the main characters from Book One are back in Book Two, including Sam’s granddaughter Megan, her three friends Jennifer, Samantha and Nicole, Christine (Megan’s mother), Sam’s assistant Donna Jones, Detectives Harrington and Chambers among others. Only this outing, we dig deeper into their personal lives and some of the issues they’re dealing with on a daily basis, while also introducing new and potential family members. Readers will be introduced to a whole host of new characters either connected directly or indirectly to PI Sam Aquino, such as Tsunami Football Players, employees of the Nutrition Booster company and Memorial Hospital. District Attorney’s and members of several law enforcement agencies are also prominently featured. This outing Sam is forced to circle the wagons per se and call for help when members of his own extended/blended family become exposed and targeted as he continues taking on more cases. Mystery, Intrigue, Suspense and Coincidences is still intertwined throughout Book Two which features many more multi-generational and multi ethnic characters speaking different languages and accents.
