But few know that she was equally remarkable for her business savvy, her thirst for adventure, and her vital role in a children’s book publishing revolution.

Villages, Ghosts, Lovers....And Red Rice is a hauntingly delightful true story of events that took place in the life of an African American family living in Savannah, Georgia from 1963 to 2000.

Though centered in Savannah, events also take place in Manhattan New York, New Orleans, and on Martha's Vineyard. Rich in both Southern and African American culture, Villages, Ghosts, Lovers....And Red Rice reveals the spirit of a city that lures people to its sultry climate and mesmerizing beauty....and never let's go!

A Real Leader

The action-packed series continues as a young man unwillingly saddled with a Werewolf System attempts to live his life—without killing too many people . . . Not long ago, Gary was just another punk teenager living in a ramshackle house in a bad part of a ramshackle town. To survive, he worked as a gofer for a brutal street gang—until a simple job went bad, and he ended up paired with a Werewolf System that enhanced his strength, stamina, and attitude. But as Gary soon learned, this gift could also be a curse, costing anyone who got too close their life. Now, he's trying to figure out how to use his system to make things better for those around him. Unfortunately, before things get better, they're going to get much, much worse. Because Gary isn't the only werewolf roaming the streets. And he's not necessarily the strongest. And his rivals belong to gangs that would be more than happy to put him down like a mad dog. His only hope is to level up, man up, and let his killer instinct take over. The second volume of the hit progression-fantasy series—with more than five million views on Webnovel—now available on Audible and wherever ebooks are sold!

Movement

A gripping account of how the automobile has failed NYC and how mass transit and a revitalized streetscape are vital to its post-pandemic recovery In 1969, as all students of New York City history think they have learned, master builder Robert Moses lost his long battle to urbanist Jane Jacobs over his planned Lower Manhattan Expressway. The ten-lane elevated expressway would have sliced across SoHo and Little Italy, demolishing historic buildings, and displacing thousands of families and businesses. Jacobs and her neighbors defeated Moses, and as a result, New York became the only major American city with no interstate highway running through its core. Like many global cities, though, New Y...
