The same routine, everyday. Never changing, never ending. Too much to think about. But no matter how it chokes the living hell out of me, it'll all fall into place eventually so I just accept and face them with a calm mind and a smile on my face...but...not today, today feels serene and normal; too normal that it feels less normal and definitely not good...and I was right.

Left alone with five young mouths to feed and shelter, Erin goes to the last option she has to turn the lives of her siblings around from agony to bliss. No friends to talk to , no cause to smile... she resorts to everlasting  regret; at least they'll be happy. Thinking that God has forgotten them, she runs to the devil. 
How much will her surprise buy when she finds out that her last option will lead her to her purpose for living, the reason for her creation - The devil's incarnate : AdlaiAll Rights Reserved

This book will touch on the generational curse that go on in not only African American families but also all families across the world . this is a Christian book so this amazing story God gave me will be backed up by mostly scripture. This is the first Book it will touch on briefly 5 generations and how life affected them through their previous generations mistakes. My plans for this book is to make hard copies to sell in stores this is just the first outlet I pray this book helps the lost souls or helps people realize in life why we sometimes deal with certain patterns in our life. And this I believe will help Christians realize why it's certain sins and struggles it's hard for them to immediately turn away from. God gave me revelation through this book. My goal from this book is to get people to come closer and build their relationship with God Because the End times are Here!!! Two more books on the way as all stay turned.

Beautiful Scars: Breaking Free (Christian Romance) by igniteyourlight

Family may break you, but there are strangers that will walk you through the journey of healing and help you find the light. After the death of Mary's parents, her older brother-who was just eighteen at the time- became the CEO of their parents company, Jarius Incorporated, an oil company in Nigeria. In the midst of the tragedy, he struggled to keep his parent's legacy. Meanwhile, ten year old Mary found comfort in her brother. Unfortunately, her solace was ripped away when her brother sent her off to their Uncle in the United States. Their uncle on the other hand, is wrapped up in the dark world of money, lust, drugs and arrogance. His greed pioneered a prostitution organisation, forcing Mary to grow into the work. All men are the same to her, "All they want is carnal satisfaction." Until one day, one of her clients, John, wouldn't sleep with her. He'd rather take her out for dinner as his "satisfaction." Mary isn't sure if she can trust this stranger, or is she afraid of finding love that she can never have or keep, because her freedom is constrained by her Uncle's pride and fallacy. Mary and John go on a journey, navigating their faith in a dangerous world that threatens their lives. But maybe, just maybe, Mary's smothered hope will ignite. Mary will learn that she can be made whole again by receiving Jesus as her Lord and saviour, coming as she is, bruised and shattered.

Dominic has been allergic to color and happy people for the longest time and when a rude, short tempered, cynical hot neighbor of his shows up on his doorstep with the deadliest expression of rage, he falls in love indefinitely. They soon find out their affinity for each other keeps them hostage in a toxic space and just about everyone is against their union.

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏
