Kate Christensen, author of "The Great Man," talks about the beauty that can still reside in women over 65 and the misconception about how older women perceive themselves.  The full interview from a 2007 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.

One Glance

My breath left me quietly, carefully, as I measured the sound escaping with it.  No one must know that it was held on a gasp, that the sudden appearance of a man had inflated my lungs, and the tremble that would be natural should be denied.  I would breathe calmly, even if that was the only thing that I could control at this point.  My eyes were traitorous, locked on the movement of your shoulders as you crossed your arms when a lithe figure approached you at your entrance.  This assault was from someone who knew you, apparently, and I strained to listen, wondering...who are you?

It was back to business as the classroom was called to attention by my favorite professor, the moment of your apparition put into the background of my thoughts, and then later abandoned altogether as the months pulled me along through jungles of papers, exams, jogs, and new fitness regimes to avoid studying my least favorite classes.  And then, with a flourish and the shedding of a pesky ten pounds, I was enjoying the last week before the semester was officially over, and very much basking in the snuggling feeling of winter ensconced as I was in my black peacoat, and thought of how, as I had caught a glimpse of myself hurrying out the door, I was startled to realize that I actually looked petite and even a little delicate now, the way that my pale neck arose out of the collar, the coat a thick, sturdy wool, but slimming in its length and staunch cut.  My hair was severely pulled up into a messy chignon, its color a glossy auburn, more red than it was brown.  I liked that image of myself.  It added a natural blush to my cheeks as I paraded out the door and into the world, feeling every inch the secret agent vixen superspy that I had wished to embody, or at least the iota of a chance to be.

That's All Me by Cion Lee

Ja’Keem Martelle is a junior at the University of Baton Rouge, and is at the top of his class. Even though, he's book smart, he can't seem to leave the streets alone. He's his dad's protégé, and perhaps better than him. Ja’Keem met Camilla Jones their freshman year at UBR. From that fateful day, they’ve been inseparable. He can't seem to leave her alone, either, but that doesn't mean he's ready to be tied down.

Ja’Keem refuses to put a title on what he and Camilla have, because he’s enjoying the college lifestyle, as well as the streets. He has the best of both worlds, and doesn’t see a reason to change. Camilla is no lame, though. She knows her worth, and demands her respect. However, when it’s all said and done, will Camilla be able to say “that’s all me” without looking stupid?

Ja'Keem "Keem" Martelle -20 years old

Keem has lived in Atlanta most of his life but his family are from New Orleans so he's familiar with both cities. Keem is a junior at the University of Baton Rouge and he's at the top of his class. He was the valedictorian of his high school and had a perfect score on the ACT. Even though he's book smart, he can't seem to leave the streets alone. He's his dad's protégé and he might be better than him. Keem and Camilla met their freshman year. He can't seem to leave her alone but that doesn't mean he's ready to be tied down either.

Camilla "Milla" Jones-20 years old

Don't let the pretty face fool you. Camilla is from the Calliope projects in New Orleans and she's grateful to be away from home for more than one reason. Camilla's major is broadcast journalism and she's passionate about getting a job in this field when she graduates. This girl is all about school, even though she gets distracted a lot. She's loyal to no end and it's a good idea to stay on her good side. She's a sweet girl but she doesn't let anyone play with her. Not even Ja'Keem.

The order of her books are as followed. For the Love of ATL The Carter Boys Hoodlums and Hooligans (The Carter Girls) Not Another Thug Story Kove Bambino Opium

I recommend reading the books in order because “The carters” is a big family and its always someone that's connected/know them somehow/someway.

I swear I feel like I’m in ATL with these characters each time I read about them & her blog is Lit too....yassss I love the deleted scenes...I’m assuming this is from #SKYESISTERS book that has yet to be released but in the works I hear. However, the readers have met these sisters so we’re familiar...GET CAUGHT UP! You won’t be disappointed ..

Summer Session

By: Aquanza Cadogan

Synopsis

Power | Prestige | Purpose

Summer Session is a novel about the journey of four unique friends with distinct lifestyles, hobbies and interests all working towards one goal - graduation. Will they become sidetracked by the abundance of college tradition, or will they make it through a school year filled with unbelievable memories?

----

This book has been part of my kindle library since it first released back in 2013 and even today it’s still a part of my top favorite reads in the college fiction world. This book is the TRUTH! When I first came across this book one night just browsing Amazon I never heard of this new author Aquanza but before even reading the synopsis that dope ass cover caught my attention.  For this to be the author’s first book it sure didn’t seem like it (Not that first-time authors can’t get it right the first time), but Wow! This story took me down memory lane of my college years and not every college story can do that…. I loved my college experience (I decided too stop playing with my writing and continue writing my own book…which is also a college story…but that’s besides the point…Just stay tune it’s in progress and will be on Amazon and book stores near you #ChasingDreams) Anyways, this book was well-written and though I loved these characters …My boy Quintin Bennet, aka New York's Finest would have to be my favorite. Why? I just loved everything about this character, his style, the way he talks, his swag, etc. Q was my book bae...The thirst was too real lmao 😘😍😜💦

If you haven’t read this book I don’t know what you waiting on…Please get your copy!

The Carter Boys by Desiree

If you have not read For the Love of ATL, then I highly suggest reading that series before starting this one. This story involves the drama of HBCU yards mixed with the street life of Atlanta. 7 brothers. The Carter boys are known for being the most wanted. Girls want to be with them, men want to get like them. Follow this series as different brothers learn, and grow, find love, drama, lose themselves in the wild official turn up city of the South.

[simply-unapologetically-me]

FOR THE LOVE OF ATL (1-4): Complete series by Desiree

Find out how the story begins, and how it ends.

A book of 7 girls living in the most ratchet, drama filled, gossip spreading city of Atlanta. In this book I tap into the stereotypes of black girls from hoes, Oreos, hood rats, and your average nerds, and bougie girls. Each having their own separate story to tell that makes this book one complete series. Find out how they find love, hate, heartbreak, and much more in the city of ATL.
