Daddy Loves Me (Near or Far) explores the relationships positive adults can have in the lives of children who may be experiencing the absence of a male parental figure in their lives.

Love is the furthest thought from Keon 'KC' Carter's mind. He's having too much fun being a bachelor. However, once he takes a different look at the sultry Shaeterra Jackson, he can't stop thinking about her. Still, his lust for her doesn't keep him from whipping out his manhood every chance he gets. It's not until he loses what matters most to him does he realize it's time for a change. Taleed Wallace never wanted a complicated relationship, and he thought he had escaped having one with Kendra Matthews. That is until her former boyfriend shows up at her door. On top of that, Taleed is faced with a bigger battle to fight on behalf of his son's mother, who crawls into the picture with a complicated situation. Karma has a way of coming back to bite you when you least expect it. Muscled out of a huge business deal by Chaz, Jaxsen Morris just knew her relationship with him was over and tries hard to rid herself of the memory of him. However, something unexpectedly happens that will bond the two of them together for life. She only hopes he accepts her back after the verbal abuse she inflicted on him. "When Love Calls" is a novel about three relationships that go through emotional turmoil for the sake of happiness. Can Taleed balance the relationship with his son's mother while at the same time continuing a more intimate one with Kendra? Will Jaxsen and Chaz revive what they started even through some challenging hurdles? Is it too late for womanizing KC to settle down with a good girl like Shaeterra? How would you respond when love suddenly sneaks up on you when you're least expecting it?

"The Good President" by L. A. Smith takes a fresh approach to governing. All too often it is the issues which affect everyday life that get pushed to the back burner. "The Good President" offers common sense solutions to problems such as homeless veterans, clean water, global warming, and protecting the electrical grids among others. However common sense is no longer common among many elected officials. They prefer to be argumentative rather than striving for a common goal. While debate is necessary among lawmakers, it is often extremely time consuming. The proposals put forth in this book deal with issues which have been pushed aside for far too long, many times due to this waste of time. This president / vice presidential team were life long friends inspite of life leading them in separate directions for 30 years. Once reunited, it became obvious they were cut from the same cloth with similar values rooted in their childhoods. The two were high school basketball heroes who through circumstance were forced to abandon their dreams of college. One became a successful farmer while the other served in the US Military for 20 years, going on to run his own mechanics shop. Being geeks in high school along with multiple lessons from life experiences had produced an enhanced grasp of basic human needs. This pair of friends share this deeper understanding with new acquaintance, who financially and supportively catapults them to the office of the presidency. Many times American families have been forced to examine their lifestyles due to being buried in debt. They must cut extravagances out of their spending habits to make it financially, while repaying their debt. The time has come for the government to do so too. Charity begins at hoe. Reduce foreign aid by 25% and pay your bills. Financial institutions would have stopped loaning to any American citizen long before their debt ratio reached the equivalent level of our national deficit. This presidential team is out to change the world. If you agree with any of their policies, please highlight them, and send a copy to your favorite presidential candidate. Let "The Good President" by L. A. Smith be your voice. Enjoy their governing void of politics.
