"To be loved is to be seen." Stevie never imagined she'd find that in Dakota. In a generation where love is misunderstood, vulnerability is mistaken for weakness, and forever feels almost impossible, Stevie and Dakota are two hopeless romantics trying to find something real in a world that no longer believes in it. Neither of them expected to find someone who understood the parts of themselves they kept hidden. What begins as an unlikely friendship slowly turns into the one place they both feel seen. Somewhere between the late-night conversations, lingering glances, quiet moments, and memories they're too afraid to name, they become everything they promised themselves they wouldn't. But love has a way of changing everything. As their connection deepens, so do the fears they've spent years trying to outrun. Family expectations, personal struggles, and the possibility of losing the one person who finally feels like home force them to decide whether protecting their hearts is worth walking away from the love they've always dreamed of. Because sometimes the greatest love stories don't begin with fireworks. Sometimes they begin with two people who were simply looking to be understood.

THE TABLETS SPOKE FIRST Ancient Evidence, Biblical Borrowing, and the Governments That Weaponized God Long before biblical stories were written on parchment, humanity's oldest civilizations were pressing their beliefs, laws, prayers, creation stories, flood accounts, and visions of the afterlife into wet clay. Those tablets survived. THE TABLETS SPOKE FIRST follows the evidence from ancient Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, Egypt, and the wider Near East into the religious traditions that later claimed divine originality. Through archaeology, cuneiform records, manuscript history, political power, translation, empire, slavery, and institutional control, C.L. Sims examines how older stories were adapted, rewritten, renamed, and eventually presented to millions as unquestionable revelation. This book does not demand that readers abandon faith. It demands that faith face the receipts. Why do ancient Mesopotamian writings contain creation and flood traditions that predate biblical versions? Who selected the books that became scripture? What writings were excluded, destroyed, hidden, or labeled heresy? How did emperors, governments, churches, slaveholders, and political movements use religion to control land, labor, race, gender, knowledge, and human behavior? Written with sharp historical analysis, street-level intelligence, unapologetic language, and the fearless voice of C.L. Sims, THE TABLETS SPOKE FIRST brings ancient history out of elite museums and university archives and places it directly into the hands of everyday readers. The clay did not need permission to remember. The evidence was buried-but it never stopped speaking.

The lesson will repeat itself until you learn from it. This quote alone symbolizes the tale of A dance with A Necromancer. A foretelling memoir of one woman's secret double life finding her in each and every lifetime. All secrets don't stay buried and not all Ghosts are dead.

Childhood friends. Family drama. Church gossip. First heartbreak. First love. This is the story of how we grew up.

BENDO: THE COOKER A Gulf Coast Crime Novel by C.L. Sims Ben Doe is the man dangerous people call when money, territory, and reputations are on the line.

When counterfeit packages stamped with a broken crown begin moving through Florida under his name, Bendo's empire starts collapsing from the inside. Product disappears, bodies fall, federal pressure rises, and private photographs of his children prove the enemy is closer than anybody imagined. The greatest threat may be Tavion, Bendo's younger brother, who is tired of living beneath his shadow. A polished criminal businessman offers Tavion his own territory while revealing secrets connected to their missing father and the violent history behind the Night Crown. Now Bendo must protect his mother, children, women, brother, and Gulf Coast kingdom while exposing traitors inside his organization. Every lie leads to more money, sex, blood, corruption, and mayhem. BENDO: THE COOKER is a gritty, explosive urban crime novel about brotherhood, dangerous women, cartel power, family betrayal, Black enterprise, and a man willing to turn the Gulf Coast into a graveyard before allowing anybody to steal his name. And when the broken crown finally falls, a new enemy rises-the Black Sun, setting the stage for Book Two.
