BOOK EXCERPT:

The definitive guide for anyone who has contact with people of another race--in companies, schools, neighborhoods, or other social situations--this book asserts that race is not the unfathomable mystery it is usually made out to be. In a revealing, accessible, and stimulating discussion based on little-known facts and innovative research, this book explains why many whites are uneasy about blacks and how blacks react to this, why numerous blacks suspect the worst from whites, why white explanations don't hold up, why myths about sex remain so prevalent, and what both races can do together to make their relations better.

When Mark returned home and his disability checks weren't enough to make ends meet Flo filed for divorce. Panicked by the thought losing her, Mark did everything he could to win Flo back. Even though she resisted his efforts, Flo did agree to a weekend getaway at the family's favorite lakeside resort. But after their first night there, Flo went missing...and the next day her corpse was found floating in the water. Mark claimed that her death was an accident—one that must have happened while he was up at the cottage, putting the kids to sleep. But soon a jury would be convinced of what Flo's friends and family believed to be true: That Flo would never have been alone on the boat dock that night because she was deathly AFRAID OF THE DARK.

BOOK EXCERPT:

The third in the Fearless Jones series from the author of the Easy Rawlins crime thrillers. Fearless Jones and Paris Minton return in a high-velocity thriller about family, betrayal, and revenge. 'I'm in trouble, Paris.' Paris Minton has heard these words before. They mean only one thing: that his neck is on the line too. So when they are uttered by his lowlife cousin Ulysses S. Grant, Paris keeps the door to his bookshop firmly closed. With family like Ulysses - 'Useless' to everyone except his mother - who needs enemies? But trouble always finds an open window, and before long Paris is paying a call on his long-time friend and bodyguard, Fearless Jones. Criss-crossing the complicated landscape of 1950s Los Angeles, where a wrong look can get a black man killed, Paris and Fearless find desperate women, secret lives, and more than one dead body along the way. Walter Mosley serves up another taut mystery plot humming with brilliant characterisations, sharp dialogue and dark humour - a combination as fresh and zesty as ever. This is the third book in the series that began with Fearless Jones and Fear Itself. It is Mosley's favourite fictional territory, played with a lighter touch.

Scared Of The Dark

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Michael was the youngest in his family, just eight years old, and loved to watch his favorite TV show called Dark Shadows. Michael's older brother David and his sister Susan would constantly sneak up while Michael was watching Dark Shadows in the dark and scare him. Even though his brother and sister did a good job scaring him, what scared Michael the most was the vampire Barnabas Collins. At night when Michael would get under the covers he would shake like a leaf and slowly pull the covers over his head. Michael's bedroom didn't have a door which scared the living daylights out of him. One stormy night when Michael was lying in bed trying to sleep, he saw a black cat walk across his window just as the lightning lit up the sky. Michael would jump out of bed and run down the hall to his parent’s room to sleep in their bed until morning. Michael's parents would tell him to stop watching Dark Shadows and maybe his fear of sleeping in his bed alone would diminish. Michael said, "I wouldn't be so scared if my brother and sister would stop teasing me. Now and then I would pull the covers slowly down below my eyes just enough to turn my head and see my brother walk across my doorway dressed in a cape and tell me he was coming to get me soon. I would just pull the covers over my head and shake like a leaf and pray for daylight." The next night as Michael was lying in bed the caped figure went passed his bedroom doorway and the figure said, "Soon, very soon, you will join the dead." Michael said, "That's it!" and jumped out of bed in terror and ran down the hall yelling for his parents. Michael burst into his parents’ bedroom and dove into the covers shaking like a leaf. Michael's father said, "What's the matter? Michael." Michael replied, "He's back and this time he said I would be joining the dead soon."
