Awakening (The Amykah Grayson Chronicles Book 1)

November 5, 2024 By

This was not something I chose. It was a path chosen for me.

College was supposed to be the best time of my life, but when a fatal tragedy caused a fracture within my mind, I landed in Harbor View Psychiatric Hospital for six months instead.

Just when I thought I had put the pieces of my life back together afterward, life threw me another curveball.
Within twenty-four hours, what I thought was reality had shattered into a million pieces. The creatures of my nightmares began walking into the daytime. I did my best to ignore them and convince myself they were only figments of my imagination.
And it was working, too. Until the Dark kidnapped my best friend, that is.

With an unlikely sidekick at my side, it became my job to save her. Plunged into a world where demons lurked in the shadows, an eternal battle raged between Light and Dark.

What happened next, you ask? Well, you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you. I’m not even sure if I believe me.
How do I know if what I experienced was real or imagined? I guess there’s only one way to find out…

Awakening is a thrilling short young adult urban fantasy. Combining magic with mystery, spirituality, and the battle between good versus evil, this first in a series is a must-read for fans of Auburn Tempest, Michael Anderle, and Julie Hall.

Angels

June 25, 2014 By eReader Nation

Angels presents a new genre, an illustrated short story for adults. Set in inner city Detroit, this is a tale of a family beset by the traumas of drug addiction, adultery, prison, violence as well as the joys of sexuality, love and, especially, children. The mother, desperate when he husband is sent to prison, becomes a stripper to support her two daughters, her angels.
Both the story and the collage illustrations are done by Ann Pearlman. The images of both eroticism and violence are tasteful.

While writing, Ann sees scenes playing out in her mind’s eye. Combining pictures with the narrative was her way to share some of her images while words flowed. This is the first in a series of storybooks that contain the thrill of illustrations we loved in books as kids with narratives slated for adults.
