Book Description
Lance Thomas is a sexy, young black male who has it all; a high paying blue collar career, a home in Queens, New York, two cars, a son, and a beautiful wife. However, after getting married at a very young age he realizes that he is afflicted with DOGISM, a distorted sexuality that causes men to stray and be unfaithful in their relationships with women. You will not stop turning the pages as you read and witness Lance as he juggles God, a wife, a son, and a new mistress, all the while trying to end his dealings with a past drama-filled stripper who is obsessed with him. In the midst of drama and deception, Lance realizes that eventually every dog has his day. This must read novel takes you through a journey in the life, mind, and emotions of a man, showing that at times even dogs, with their distorted sexuality have a conscience.

"One Day I Saw a Black King" by J.D. Mason

description:Mason tells an engaging story about a couple who are drawn to one another because of their pain and the need to share with someone who understands. John King left his grandmother's house as a teenager. She was never able to show him love and kindness because he was a constant reminder of her daughter's death. Connie Rogers' mother abandoned her daughters and left town. She lived on the streets after she ran away from the couple that took her in. They both learned techniques to survive: John stays on the move and drifts from town to town, and Connie can't seem to move out of her childhood neighborhood. When they confront their demons, John learns the truth about his family and finally lays his anger and disappointment to rest, and Connie can stop blaming herself for all of the bad things that have happened in her life. When they face their pasts they find that they can be free to love one another. Lillian Lewis
