“That bastard had his hands all over you. You preferred that to a moment’s embarrassment?”
“No, I…” She didn’t know what to say to make this better. Christ, he was furious; his eyes were midnight blue. “I’m sorry, okay?”
His stare travelled between each of her dark irises, searching for honesty in her words. He pulled her closer. “You’re not sorry. You put yourself in such fucking trouble to prove what? That you can take care of yourself? Or more likely that no one gives a shit about you? Why are you so goddamn blind?”
He was gripping her in the same place as Thug One had, and it was really starting to hurt. “Nick, let go,” she said firmly.
“No.”
She blinked. “What do you mean, ‘no’?”
“Exactly what the word means. No. So this is me, showing you that I give a shit.”

Closing her eyes, Morgaine let the tears that had gathered in her eyes fall. She’d never not been liked, and it hurt to think when she actually finally cared about someone, that someone didn’t care about her. That session had been her hardest to date because she didn’t find an answer that would appease her. Each day that she began to rework the fabric of her life into the vision she had for herself, she kept reaching a snag—Leland. She couldn’t describe the pull that kept guiding her to him, but it tugged and she followed.
She resisted the urge to cry. Morgaine knew this connection she felt for Leland wasn’t a result of the trauma she’d experienced as a child. This was about the two of them, and if she could just get that stubborn bastard to acknowledge what they had, life would be so much better.

Running from Solace by Nakia R. Laushaul
August 15, 2011 By
“BEST BOOK I’VE READ THIS YEAR … A superbly written and cleverly crafted book. Gut wrenching reality and red raw details, reminding us of what so many choose to ignore. Your heart, soul and spirit absorb the characters. They take on their own persona in your imagination. You love them, you hate them, but throughout you sub-consciously root for their survival…” Amazon Review

Seaside Stories by S. R. “Rudy” Martin, Jr.

The stories are vivid, personal, dramatic, and captivating.”
Wimbey’s Corner by David Covin
August 8, 2011 By
The provocative, erotic portrayal of desire and identity in the character of Wayne Hunter is reminiscent of Richard Wright’s Bigger Thomas. Wayne’s extraordinary physique defines and sabotages his masculinity, while his primal, sexual appetite undermines his consciousness and seals his fate. The shocking ending is a disturbing resolution to the irreconcilable double consciousness of a community nestled in the distorted shadows of wealthy, white America.
