Carolyn Miller - Poet and Author of Sight Behind Blindness and Heart of Thorns: A Memoir. Miller is a provocative new voice in poetry.

While she expertly uses the natural world to help the reader see life in a new way, Carolyn Miller will forever change the way you see yourself and your relationship to the world. Carolyn Miller penned 'Heart of Thorns: A Memoir' as a ghostwriter with Abdullah K. Rahmani. (www.carolynmiller.com)

Rickey Teems - Cross Realities: The Spiritually Street Novel
Primary Christian rule to remember, just because you get saved…doesn't mean the rest of the world does!

Will prayer be enough to protect them from Tamar's gang entrenched younger brother's lifestyle and the hectic streets surrounding them where many don't survive? Or will their own non-angelic pasts combined with a sister's selfishness to betray the family at any cost be their downfall? One thing is certain, without the proper focus it can be hard keeping your eyes on God in the midst of smog, shoot-outs, and scandal, when you're dealing with: Cross Realities.
