Looking Back-Looking Forward

 Book Cover Two eyes


Looking Back-Looking Forward:

Poetry written by a father and husband dedicated to his murdered son and his wife, a victim of Pancreatic Cancer


Grief carves the soul, but love gives it voice.


In Looking Back–Looking Forward, Ralph L. Myers opens a deeply personal window into the soul’s endurance through unimaginable grief. Through a touching collection of poetry, Myers invites readers to join him in honoring the two greatest loves of his life—his wife Francine, taken by pancreatic cancer, and his son Tom, whose life was tragically cut short by violence.


This book is more than a poetic tribute; it is a spiritual reflection born out of heartbreak, resilience, and unwavering faith. Through verses rooted in real-life sorrow and Christian hope, Myers offers a gentle hand to others walking through loss. His writing becomes a sanctuary—each poem a quiet place to sit with grief, to acknowledge pain, and ultimately to find solace in the presence of God.


What makes this collection especially profound is its honesty. Myers doesn’t shy away from the raw ache of loss, but rather walks through it with dignity and reverence. At the same time, his reflections are infused with spiritual depth, demonstrating how one can live forward with purpose even while looking back with love. The poems draw strength from Christian principles of compassion, endurance, and the healing power of memory.


This book belongs on the shelf of anyone who has loved deeply and lost dearly. It speaks not only to the wounds of grief, but also to the quiet courage required to carry on. For those seeking peace in their own storm, Looking Back–Looking Forward offers comfort, faith, and the gentle reminder that love never dies.


What story does your grief want to tell—and how will you let God help you carry it?

16 Missing Bible Verses: The story behind why they were deleted and why it matters

  Book Title on Green Background


The story behind why they were deleted and why it matters
In this compelling book, we delve into a narrative that many Christians are unaware of, one that could reshape the bedrock of their faith. 16 verses, quietly absent from the well-thumbed pages of modern translations like the NIV, ESV, NASB, NLT, and CSB, sparks a critical question: what else don't we know? Advocates of the King James Version argue for the inclusion of these verses, while others question the integrity of the scriptures, citing these omissions as evidence of manipulation or error. This book isn't about complex theories or hidden motives. It's about straightforward facts that anyone, regardless of their background or beliefs, can observe for themselves—By simply turning the pages, one will encounter the gaps, the silent spaces where these verses once resided
However, the mystery begs the question: were these verses originally absent or subsequently added? Were the 16 verses lost, or were they insertions that never belonged?
Here's what "16 Missing Bible Verses" can offer the reader:
Identification of the missing verses and why they're not in modern Bibles.
Insights into the historical changes of the Bible and discussions on its reliability.
Examination of the significance of these verses and how they can influence your faith
Resources to help you investigate these verses and the history of biblical text.
Presented in a language free from academic jargon and distilled into plain speech, the book extends its reach to every believer, seeker, and skeptic with the message that the past is not a riddle to be feared but a narrative to be comprehended. Whether one's faith is unwavering or non-existent, this book serves as a guiding light of understanding. For the believer: this book will give you the footing to stand firm and uncover why these verses have slipped through the cracks of modern translations and discern their significance in your spiritual journey. For skeptics who cite the 'missing' verses as evidence of the Bible's unreliability, this book presents a factual exploration that helps you delve into the historical context and discover the data behind these omissions. It provides you with a well-rounded and informed view of the Bible's evolution and validity.

The Diary of Mrs. Jolly Good: Because Therapy Was Too Expensive

 Book Cover Ride Share Ticket in Hand





Ever feel like your life is one chaotic, caffeine-fueled rollercoaster where you forgot the seatbelt but remembered the glitter? Same. Welcome to The Diary of Mrs. Jolly Good—a raw, unfiltered, and laugh-out-loud journey through the glorious dumpster fire that is my entrepreneurial life. This isn’t your average memoir. It’s a journal-stuffed explosion of emotional venting, hilariously inappropriate oversharing, and entrepreneurial f*ck-ups with a side of sparkle. I’ve built businesses from scratch, tanked a few spectacularly, wrangled pugs mid-panic attack, delivered Uber Eats while closing patent deals, and survived everything from trademark theft to droopy-eye surgery plans (don’t ask, just read). Inside, you’ll meet dodgy investors, fraudulent ex-employees, and my dead-but-still-judgy Shih Tzu, Ronaldo. You’ll come across broken flower fridges, backroom boardroom brawls, and courtroom chaos. But mostly, you’ll find a story about relentless resilience, delusional optimism, and refusing to quit—no matter how many people hope you will. If you’ve ever wanted to scream “WTF is happening?!” into a pillow while building your dream life, this book’s for you. It’s messy. It’s real. And it’s Jolly Good. Warning: Contains swearing, sarcasm, brutally honest reflections, and tons of ‘aha!’ moments.

I The Black Poet Comes

  Skull colored in American Flag



I The Black Poet Comes

By James M. Moten


I, the Black Poet, come—not with vengeance, but with vision.


In I, The Black Poet Comes, James M. Moten offers a stirring, unflinching collection of poems drawn from a lifetime of trials, triumphs, and spiritual truth. These verses are not mere reflections—they are declarations. The voice that rises from these pages is both deeply personal and undeniably universal, capturing the soul of a man who has walked through fire and still dares to speak light into the world.


“I bleed words that were never taught in schools / that were lost in chains and cotton fields.”


From poems that explore loneliness, sacrifice, and the generational scars of racial injustice, to those that exalt love, womanhood, and faith, Moten’s words hit like a steady drumbeat—rhythmic, raw, and rooted in something sacred. He writes with the conviction of a man who has lived through war (literally and metaphorically) and emerged with poetry in his hands.


A bold, unapologetic symphony of life, pain, love, and Black identity, delivered through verse that stirs the soul and commands remembrance. - MainSpring Books


As the collection unfolds, readers journey with Moten through stories shaped by family, service, and a relentless pursuit of dignity. His poetry elevates the everyday into the eternal, transforming hardship into testimony and silence into song. There’s humor here too—unexpected and human—and a deep spiritual undercurrent that threads grace through every grief-stricken line.


“If I could tell my younger self one thing—it would be: write anyway. Sing anyway. Love anyway.”


I, The Black Poet Comes is not just a poetry book—it is an offering. To those who know the weight of struggle, the ache of erasure, and the joy of being seen—it is a mirror and a beacon. Moten’s verses remind us that to speak one’s truth is a revolutionary act. And to put it in print, a legacy.

Tamara’s Journey Through Trials and Tears

  Book Cover - Dragon Fly




When silence shatters beneath the weight of truth, the first light of healing begins to rise—quietly, bravely, and without apology.

In Tamara’s Journey Through Trials and Tears, readers are invited into a life that moves through pain, secrecy, and personal transformation—with honesty that’s both tender and unflinching. This is not just a memoir; it’s a courageous reckoning. 


Tamara Rivera walks us through deeply personal memories of growing up in a religious, conservative household where the expectations of conformity left little room for her to express her authentic self. From early confusion about her identity to the emotional toll of navigating rejection, love, loss, and spiritual conflict, Tamara’s story gives voice to those who have felt unseen for far too long.


What makes this memoir unforgettable is its raw honesty and unapologetic vulnerability. Tamara doesn't write to seek sympathy—she writes to be heard, to stand in her truth, and to reach those who may be walking a similar road. “Tamara Rivera’s memoir is a moving and triumphant story of resilience, self-discovery, and the power of embracing one’s true identity,” shares reviewer Greg P.—and that sentiment echoes through every page. 


Her relationship with God, her parents, and ultimately herself evolves across each chapter—giving readers a layered look into what it means to search for acceptance without abandoning faith. There is heartache, yes—but also incredible strength. There is loss—but also restoration. 


Tamara’s Journey Through Trials and Tears is not just for those in the LGBTQ+ community orthose grappling with religion—it’s for anyone who’s ever felt conflicted between who they are and who the world told them to be. For those seeking hope, clarity, or simply the comfort of knowing they’re not alone, this memoir offers that and more.


It’s not a story of perfection. It’s a story of truth—and in that truth, readers will find healing.
