All That I Am with Thoughts and Dreams


Book Description

In understanding who I am and the journey it took to get me from one point in my life to another, I have written this book of poetry as the link to a creative process of true and honest emotions. I am the force behind my own energy and fate. Through purpose and passion it is with joy and happiness I share my unshakeable truths. My world revolves around interpretations of rhythm and rhyme. While some may view these poems as thought-provoking, they are merely words of beauty and power that surround me in my space and time. The passion and light reflected in this book are responses to inspirations, tragedies, love, and faith, a way that helps me to connect with the modern reader. They are words that I have spoken and thought of in my mind and heart. Poetry is love in any language and because I am in love with life, I have written these love songs to those that have achieved something greater than the power of words. Poetry is wisdom and the humility that comes from wisdom. All the knowledge that I have gained from wisdom comes from heaven. I am but a lonely dreamer.




A Frenchwoman's Guide to Sex after Sixty


Book Description

A Frenchwoman's advice for how women—and men—of a certain age can enjoy love, sex, and desire in their sixties and seventies and beyond. With wit and a soupçon of irreverence, Marie de Hennezel shows that there is no age limit for erotic joy. Through interviews with countless older French women and men, de Hennezel uncovers a plethora of tips for enjoying a rich and satisfying sex life after age sixty. She suggests that perhaps the most important point is to have a positive self-image—to love yourself—and instead of worrying about wrinkles and other outward signs of aging, to cultivate an inner youthfulness, which, combined with a certain maturity, she says, can be sexier than youth all by itself. It is better to skip the plastic surgery and intense workouts at the gym and focus on sensuality, pleasure, and emotional intimacy instead. Other tips for how to keep that certain je ne sais quoi include forgetting about sexual performance, shifting from thinking about the body you have (how it looks in the mirror) to focusing on the body you are (how it feels), and being able to surrender during love and sex. Bringing a sense of humor and a bit of playfulness to the boudoir doesn't hurt either.




The Two Antonias: Two Sassy and Sexy Short Stories From the Wonderfully Wicked Women Series


Book Description

The Two Antonias is a book of two deliciously sexy, sassy short stories. The two main characters, both named Antonia, are similar yet different. In the first story, Antonia “Stix” Grimaldi is a biracial black woman who was born into a very rich family. Stix, as she is called, is truly a modern, independent woman who has everything that money can buy. She has a very active social life but has no desire to marry. Stix doesn’t want to share her wealth with a husband. She keeps her wealth a secret from her lovers. The one thing that Stix does desire is to have a child, and she is making a list of potential baby daddies. Stix soon has an encounter with a Marine named Jamie. Jamie is a tall, handsome, and extremely well-endowed Cuban-American. Initially, Stix feels that Jamie would not only be satisfying in bed but also would be a perfect father for her future child. Stix finds out that she is completely wrong about Jamie being a good father. Jamie is only interested in finding a rich white woman to take care of him for the rest of his life. He’s not interested in the petite but beautiful black woman. Jamie sleeps with Stix anyway and is pleasantly surprised at how sexually compatible they are. Jamie begins to care for Stix, but he thinks she does not have the finances that he craves. Stix keeps her finances a secret and enjoys Jamie sexually until she meets his twin brother, Johnny. Johnny is a motorcycle-riding bad boy with a murder in his past. Stix falls hard for Johnny. See what happens when the two brothers collide. See what happens when Jamie finds out Stix is a multibillionaire and has more money than we ever dreamed of. The situation gets hot! Which twin will win? The second story is about Antonia “Tee” Charles, a black woman of extraordinary beauty. Tee’s grandfather is a white man who takes advantage of her grandmother who works for him. That union produces the beautiful Anna, Tee’s mother. Anna is forbidden to socialize with any of the boys from town, but Anna is enticed by one of the boys and gets pregnant. The extraordinarily beautiful Antonia is born. Tee was not born with money but uses her beauty and brains to capture the heart of a rich doctor who takes her to another country. Tee feels that she has finally found happiness and that she has the perfect marriage. Tee finds out that her husband is keeping a big secret from her. Tee loves him and accepts the truth but is soon devastated by his death. She returns to the United States, where she encounters Jason Canova. Jason is a prominent Italian attorney who is married but has never been in love. He married his much-older wife because she was rich. Jason doesn’t have a lot of experience with women. Before his wife, he was a virgin. His only experience beforehand was in his bathroom, looking at girly magazines and pleasuring himself. Jason is attracted to Tee and becomes obsessed with her. He desires her badly. Tee likes Jason but doesn’t want to get involved with a married man. Jason pursues her relentlessly. Tee has always had an insatiable sexual appetite, but she has been celibate since the death of her husband. Tee is intrigued by Jason’s total mastery in the courtroom and his complete naivety about women. What will happen? Will Jason wear Tee down? Will he have her? Will he leave his wife? Come along to witness the intrigue and adventure of the two Antonias. Be you male or female, these stories are to be enjoyed by the wonderfully wicked!

Lick Me


Book Description

Steeped in sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, Lick Me takes the reader on a juicy journey through the life and times of the infamous Cherry Vanilla.

But Cherry's life wasn't all excitement and high times. From unwanted pregnancies to poverty and public ridicule, Lick Me also takes us through Cherry's own problems, including sex addiction and OCD, and reveals how she dealt with them.
