From Hunter Hayes:
"It feels good to be back on the literary scene again,
home from my extended hiatus! My first novel, Shoes On the Otha'
Foot, was originally self-published and got picked up by a major
publisher where I landed a multiple book deal. (Shoes On the Otha'
Foot, A Pair Like No Otha' - Harper Torch). Both
titles were praised and highly acclaimed. I'm ever so grateful to all of my
reading fans, and now I'm prepared to promote what I feel is my best work
yet, Stripper Pole to Heaven (Deuce Publishing - July 28,
2010). If you were wondering, my favorite authors are
Kimberla Lawson Roby, Mary Monroe,
Terry McMillan, Sophie Kinsella,
Eric Jerome Dickey, Noire,
Claude Brown and Piri Thomas. I live in New York City, the
concrete jungle where dreams are made of.

In these hard times, most of us want to believe in something; a higher power, or maybe even more in ourselves. But some of us have to learn the hard way, that getting money isn't the answer to everything....
When Lisette Jones transforms herself into "Golden" and hits the stage as a
stripper, it's all or nothing---a dedication that's earning her top dollar
at Club Bare. With the untimely death of her ex, it's a profession that
chose her, so Lisette's determined to make it work, even if it means chasing
dollars to maintain the comfortable lifestyle that she and her teenaged
daughter are accustomed to. Being in the spotlight turns out to be downright
addictive, but it doesn't help to fill the void of losing loved ones. Meet
the possible solution in Cynthia, her scripture-quoting, bible-toting best
friend. It's because of an invite from her that Lisette stumbles upon just
the comfort she's been seeking in a higher power. Comforted, yes. Cured of
all fears of remaining single and becoming possibly broke? No. For Lisette
it's all about the here and now and to prevent getting stuck with nothing
she's down for juggling everything; her closeted profession, giving love
another try and her spiritual walk. Unfortunately---- it's a decision that
she may have to pay the ultimate price tag for.
And
Cynthia Miller may be "scripture quoting and bible toting," but her life is
far from perfect. When she walks through the doors of Target Marketing she's
a high-ranking company manager, but just past the doorstop of her apartment,
her abusive husband Clyde is the one calling all of the shots. Being both
the ideal wife and consummate office exec is demanding, but the balancing
act is a goal that Cynthia has set for herself; from shedding her homely
image with what she believes will be a life-changing makeover, to indulging
in her husband's twisted sexual fantasies nothing's off limits. But what
will it take for her to realize that the only makeover she ever needed was
the one on the inside?

Ever wondered what it would be like to live life with Shoes On the Otha' Foot? Well get to stepping and find out inside the pages of the debut novel by Hunter Hayes. Set in a brownstone in Harlem, this spicy tale combines infidelity, Sisterhood, and some church. Promising a little bit of something that almost everyone can relate to.
Please meet Leslie, a twenty-one year old, single, independent who reluctantly finds her weakness in a older thirty-four old workaholic Benjamin, who already lives with another woman and their teenaged son. Now being the other woman is one thing, but can it ever be enough for the woman who is determined to stick it out and stand her ground, keeping her self-respect in tact all in the name of love?
AND
Rachelle, a thirty-five year old recent divorcee and mother of three, still hoping to meet the love of her life involved with a twenty one years young Anthony, and a thirty-three year old married Eustace. Driven from disappointment, her search leads her to the one force that's been there all along.
