Unconditional Counsel
ISBN-979-8-9923146-4-9
​
I wrote Unconditional Counsel, which deals with relationships: marriage, fornication, infidelity, divorce, sexual immorality and a relationship with God. “It was tough to look at myself and identify the parts I played in every relationship I experienced over the years of my life.” Erica Vaughn.
​
Sin consumes Erica as her marriage is falling apart. With a murderer lurking; her life is anything but drama free. Erica loves her family, but she doesn’t know how to love herself and how can that be love? She finds herself in turmoil with every relationship and the most important relationship, which should be with God, is in the most trouble. Amid the lies and uncertainty, time reveals truth, and lives will change forever. Some will learn you cannot live this life without God; even if it is your belief; not to believe.
​
This Drama, Mystery, Thriller; rescues the notion that in love and war, destiny is never lost. Unconditional Counsel is transparent and allows the reader to understand that even in the worst of times, God is present to help you fight the good fight of faith. You must find the strength to make it through every storm, trial, broken-heart, and injustice. The only way is through Wise Counsel. ​

​
The Apocalyptic 7—Salvations Cry (A7) are on a journey of discovery, who they are as individuals and as a team. They must learn to trust each other, trust themselves and most of all, put their faith and trust in God. Their mission: ‘The Little Horn They Must Find—the antichrist’. They have been dispatched to thwart the Apollyon’s plans to bring about their world domination but along the way, their missions are interrupted by Black Rain and their individual battles with each other. Will they succeed and who is sacrificed for the cause? Faith is their only chance of survival through the missions ahead of them. A7 is a fictional story of Epic Battles between God’s earthly warriors for the cross and demonic forces who threaten to destroy the world. It uses scripture-based truths and gives a glimpse into how we have come so far as a society, yet people still don’t believe the Holy Scriptures to be true. Unexplained events taking place around the world are in the Holy Scriptures in plain view, but we know some will be deceived. ​Revised 2025.

The Ghosts of Slavery's Dance
ISBN-979-8-9923146-2-5
"All slaves have a story to tell. Millions will never get the chance because of death by hanging, lynching and any other forms of murderous torture that were used in those days. Now, I know stories about the Slavery War have been told repeatedly, but this one hasn’t been. It's because my great-grandmother was the only survivor of it in all her family. Meaning, she was the last one in my family to be a slave and still alive to tell the story.” ~Nakida
“If it wasn’t for my great-grand-daughter asking so many questions and wanting to know where she comes from, I probably would have taken my story to the grave as well. Slavery was a nasty business and I learned firsthand of the hurt and pain that it caused for those being taken. The families who lost their loved ones, and those left behind. As much as I didn’t understand what happened to me, I am amazed at the outcome.” ~Nakdi​

A Good Father is something special, and our dad was. He was not perfect, nor did he ever not make a mistake, but he loved his children, even when they disappointed him. Our dad loved our mom, and he didn't always show it in the best way, but he turned it around and took care of her in every way, like a good husband should. During the time our mother transitioned to be with the Lord, our father told us stories about our mom; how they met, things that she had done for people that we never knew about. How she was engaged to another man when she met him, but they fell in love instead.
Except for a few cousins, Dad was the only remaining member of his generation. During and in the years that followed, what our dad explained about his birth, how he grew up, celebrities he met as a youngster and the secrets his family kept were disturbing and amazing. This book is for his legacy and the legacy of a man who, if it wasn't for the grace of God, would not have lived to see his five children grow, make mistakes, and have families of their own.
