    Chapter 4 Carole was at work, on her morning break. Seated in the cafeteria, she was so engrossed in her book that she didn’t notice the person headed her way. “Mind if I join you?” a voice asked. “All the tables seem to be full.” Startled, Carole looked up, hardly able to believe whose compelling eyes she was staring back into. “Have a seat,” she managed to say, trying not to appear flustered. “Glad for some company. I prefer my entertainment live.” Troy Briggs gave her a curious look, and hesitated before sitting down. “Oh?” he said. “Does that mean I’m expected to - perform for you?” “If you’ve got your act together,” she answered, and laughed,…

  5. CHAPTER 3 Relaxing on a plump leather couch, tired from her day’s work, a hungry Carole Everly was the centerpiece of a cozy room where, all around her, tables held lamps, house plants bloomed, a diverse collection of art work lined the walls, African figurines occupied the nooks, and dozens of titles filled the book cases. Home sweet home. Her 4-room apartment. Forking up the last of her shrimp fried rice before gobbling down her egg roll, as soon as she read what the fortune cookie had to say, Carole would be ready to enter the second phase of a daily ritual which would begin with a phone call to her mother for an up date on the latest family news. …

  7. “I wanna be your lover. I wanna be the only one To make you come Runnin.” ~ Prince ~ CHAPTER ONE It had been exactly one week since Carole Everly celebrated her 28th birthday, - an occasion that didn't inspire a lot of enthusiasm for the word “celebrate” since she was an unmarried statistic, languishing in the limbo of her sugar-free social life. And while this wasn't the end of the world, it could put a damper on Saturday nights. But all was not lost and, if looks had anything to do with it, Carole was ahead of the game. Not quite slender, almost pretty, her full lips were shapely, her nose well-defined, her complexion smoot…

    Hello, Recently I was invoved in a project sponsored by a group known as ACAM, an organization which invited authors to utilize its site to make monthly installments of their books available on a pay-as-you-go basis. This plan, while innovative, was plagued with the gliches and complications that made its implemation problematic. So, now, I have elected to withdraw from the ACAM experiment and, instead, take advantage of the exposure provided by this site. Thanks to the kind indulgence of AALBC’s founder, Troy Johnson, starting next Monday, I will be serializing my novella in a chapter-a-week format, right here on "Cynique’s Corner".

  13. In light of the story in the news about the teen in Calumet City (shot and killed by police after his mother called the police to assist her in dealing with him ), I wonder why people are calling the police in these cases to begin with. Maybe it's just me but I would think that the police would be the LAST people a black family should call to help with an out of control teen - especially a boy. I always thought it was common knowledge in our community that the police couldn't be trusted and that if you did end up having to call them, be prepared to be treated like a criminal, even if you're the one needing help. But I'm starting to hear more and more about people ca…

  21. Admittedly, I'm biased; I go out of my way to support anything featuring Black folks on any platform or media. The film Red Tails is another example. I've had a page setup waiting for the publication of a review for a couple of weeks: http://aalbc.com/reviews/red_tails.html Unfortunately, that review will not be available until AFTER the film has been released. My reviewer can not view the film until Friday. This is not normally a good sign and generally indicates a weak film as negative reviews can kill an opening. Rottentomates, my main source for film reviews, as of the time of this post (1:20PM GMT -5) only shows one critic's review: http://www.rottentom…

In recent weeks, coverage of prepaid debit cards launched by Suze Orman and Lil Wayne has repeatedly portrayed me as a “celebrity endorser.” Some of these stories have gone so far as to depict my RushCard business in the same light as the ill-fated Kardasian Kard. The truth is, eight years ago I invested millions of dollars, putting my reputation on the line to found UniRush LLC. With the issuance of the first RushCard, I created the first Prepaid Debit Card Account, requiring no linkages whatsoever to a consumer checking account. Today, millions of Americans manage their financial lives with the…

    Well, this is the year that all the ancient prognosticators have calculated to culminate in Doomsday, - come December 21st. If the Republicans win the election, I'd say this prediction sounds pretty accurate. The age of America being a nation of citizens who look out for each other will be over. The false prophets wrapping themselves in religion, waving the American flag, disguising their greed as fiscal responsibility, couching their bigotry in a cry for a return to the "good ol days" while turning the struggle to survive into a class war, will be who represent the Apocalypse. Or - will the Age of Aquarius prevail as the stars prove the dire interpretations …

    February is Black History month, and I feel fortunate that my repository of memories makes my brain comparable to an organic history book, chapters of which I want to share. Being the proud great-granddaughter of freed-slaves I've decided to pull rank and briefly assume the role of a griot. I beg your indulgence. I confess to also taking pride in the fact that Prohibition was repealed the same year I was born, making it possible for people to legally drown their sorrows in booze as both me and the Great Depression came into being. Since then just what have I lived through, that most of you haven’t? Read on. Starting with Franklin D. Roosevelt, and …

    Talk about starting out with a bang and ending up with a whimper! America has unceremoniously pulled out of Iraq after the “shock and awe” of this war was reduced to weariness and futility. With this evacuation, Iraq is now responsible for its own security because the enemy has not been routed and this land is still in danger. Lotsa luck. What did this ambitious mission accomplish? It was a military action that killed thousands of people, laid waste a country, cost billions of dollars, alienated our allies, and polarized America. Did waging battle on foreign soil deter terrorism in the homeland? No. Credit for that goes to the CIA. But the brave troops putting their…
