Part memoir, part current affairs, part argument for legalization - The War on Drugs is a MUST READ for those who believe that the war on drugs only happens to "those people" in "that part of town."

Written from the point of view of a wife and mother, The War On Drugs: An Old Wives' Tale examines the pros and cons of marijuana prohibition, drug diversion programs, and challenges the reader to define the nature of addiction and other pre-conceived notions.

Early reviews have included:

"Written with the humor of hindsight, yet the abject horror of getting caught in the cross fire of the so-called War On Drugs comes through with crystal clarity. For anyone that has any doubt about the truth of the matter, it becomes abundantly clear that the war on drugs is really a war on people, - good wholesome people that care for their children and make a positive contribution to their community. This is a must read. The War on Drug's: An Old Wives' Tale lays bare the absurdity of Marijuana Prohibition, the lies and injustice of our Legal System, and the unscientific, unethical nature of 'The Recovery Industry.' Read it. Believe it. And be warned."All Rights Reserved

Shot Down by imani_rae

Miracle didn't have much growing up, and still doesn't now. She is the only child and with her mother being sickly and her father not being around she is trying to make ends meet while juggling school. The beautiful complex of her milk chocolate skin, her big hazel eyes, her coke shape body, her deep dimples that makes her smile even prettier, her hair that flowed over her shoulders made her stand out even though she didn't have much. Then she met someone who she thought that could change everything for her and her family. Don, one of the most known thugs, drug dealer, and killer in her hood. His looks weren't the only thing that attracted girls to him. (His dark chocolate skin, his big dark brown eyes, his upper body muscle that went with his 5'10 height.) It was his money. Doing everything he wanted for her to make some cash she ends up putting herself in danger. Her father not liking her being with Don he sets out to kill him and in the end, Miracle losing a loved one that she would never think she would lose. This is Shot Down. By parissdreaming.

They balance each-other out. One the calm, the other the storm. Except when they don't. Except when she loses it and makes the place burn...literally.

The twins are in for a crazy ride, but they're in it together. Always. Pinky promise. Will it be enough? TW: abuse, SA, r*pe, and mature language/scenes.

"She was a risk he shouldn't take... But he took her anyway." Dante De Loughrey, the shadow of the devil himself... blessed with the face of an angel and a prince of darkness, born into the unforgivable world of crime and control. Is consumed by the merciless strive for vengeance of a past he couldn't control, and troubled by the one mistake that formed his reality, leaving Dantes heart barley any room for much else. But when a leakage happens in business, causing a path towards war to form, he crosses paths with her... A girl too tempting to keep his hands off, with a vaguely familiar last name and the soul of innocence... Something melts. An unfamiliar heat forming in his chest. As a man who is driven to saddle whatever stands unreachable and uncontrollable in his path, he is determined to take her. A girl he should most definitely NOT want. The forbidden fruit. She must be his. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wendy Aberidge, the picture of innocence, yet a soul burdened by the complications of poverty's weight, keeps her heart locked in a cage. Haunted by the memories of her past, she manages to always seek the good in people, in hope to prove that whatever beliefs in humanity she had was still true. But when her generous heart gets the better of her, she finds herself driven into the arms of the most gorgeous, yet dangerous, man she'd ever met. A man she should NOT want. Getting involved in a world of crime and lethal danger. Their love is a path paved by betrayal and desire... In a world where every choice has consequences, where every heartbeat could be their last. Will their love be their salvation or their downfall? This is a story about love, grief... and the real definition of betrayal. Glass & Sorrows is the #1 book in the Gems of Sentiment series.

Held For Ransom by 11caiti

It was a normal day and I was outside walking my german shepherd, Sammie. She had just stopped to take care of her business and I noticed the hooded man who had been following us for quite some time, approach us. I had figured he just didn't want to be rude and pass us, so I didn't mind. Now as he was approaching us, I knew I was wrong. I started to tug on Sammie's leash to get her to hurry up. When she wouldn't budge, I started to panic. I started to pull harder and as the man got closer, he took something out of his pocket. A gun. I screamed as he took aim and fired. Hannah Jansen was 17, a senior in High School. Her family was rich, her dad was a lawyer and her mom, a heart surgeon. She was an only child, and had tons of friends at school. She wasn't the snobbish kind of rich girl. She was sweet and nice to everyone. When Hannah was supposedly, "killed", everyone was devastated. While her father was working hard to find out who did this, everyone else was either grieving, or arranging funeral plans. When a letter came in the mail a week after the incident, everyone was shocked. The letter read: Dear friends and family of Hannah Jansen, I have your daughter here with me at my house. She is in my bedroom tied up and gagged. I have a gun on my bedside table and if you do not agree to my conditions, I will be forced to use that gun. And because I don't want to do that, I want 1 thing, not that hard, right? No. I want $10 million. If you ever want to see your daughter again, leave the money at 4565 Oakwood Rd. on August 1st, 3:00 A.M. Today is June 1st, so you have approximately two months to get this money. If you fail to do this, your beloved daughter shall die. Sincerely, Tyler West P.S. Just to save you trouble, don't even try to search my name or find out where I live, because trust me, it won't work. I don't exist.

He trusted this woman and she betrayed him or at least that's what it sounds, but at the same time he couldn't bear to see her this distraught and knowing he had to pull the trigger and end her life.

"Blake, tell your men to get in the car, get Alyssa into the forest where no one can see you pull the trigger far away from her tell her to never come back and let her live." Blake pause for a second, thinking of what his best friend said. Analyzing his next move, and with a blink of an eye Blake pointed his gun foward and David surprised yelled .... "Blake don't!!" **Gunshots were heard WARNING!! This book will contain SMUT ! It might also contain SA, addiction, mental and physical abuse, miscarriages and other stuffs YOU'VE BEEN WARNED !!
