THE BETRAYAL OF A PUBLIC SERVANT Columbia, S.C. ---August 10, 2019 --- When a Police officer takes a sworn oath to serve and protect their community, there is a reverence in knowing that part of fulfilling that oath may mean making the ultimate sacrifice. This reality formulates a bond of honor among law enforcement officers from the highest to the lowest in rank. In her book, Commitment, Service and Betrayal, Police Officer Brenda Frazier illustrates how the unforgiving cold steel blade of injustice severed the chord of commonality between she and her police department. Commitment, Service and Betrayal is a read that captures the subtle undercurrent of se…

For Immediate Release: Not your typical relationship book- The New Princess Is A Man-How you ladies lost your crown and what you can do to get it back. Often referred to as the last relationship book you’ll ever need, The New Princess Is a Man introduces you to “The New Princess”-the guy who expects you to give him everything, while he gives his bare minimum. More specifically, he expects gifts and showers on his big day but doesn’t believe in the commercialized Valentine’s Day, commercialized mother’s day or pretty much any day you may “interpret” as your day. The authors examine what the reader is doing to attract the “New Princess” and what she ca…

Hello All, Finding a good book that helps black readers with debt problems may seem to be easy, but it is not. The books we find are often written from a perspective that ignores history and lacks personal commentary that directly relates to the lifestlye of most black citizens. To address this problem and help improve financial literacy in my community I decided to write a book, "Did Everything But Think: D.E.B.T." I also host free financial lectures on a monthly basis. This book will not only help anyone from the age of 13-80 to achieve financial freedom, it also provides a few laughs at my personal expense. You can pick up a copy for yourself at Amazon.com. The kind…

"The history of our enslaved ancestors is not what you've been led to believe" Anything of value is typically hidden by nature, or other people, and it takes work to unearth valuable gems that will increase your worth. True Black history is one of those gems that was hidden from our enslaved ancestors and is currently hidden from you! History as taught in the United States dehumanized the African image to manipulate society into believing they were doing Africans a favor by enslaving them. Anti-African propaganda, disguised as history, created the environment that allowed early Americans to enslave our ancestors without any moral consequence. Fast-…

I am new to these forums. Please bear with me. There is a higher cause in play. "The Little Book of Lynching." Created with two Grailish Goals in mind. To Honor the Dead. And to Slay a Myth. The Honoring. For this, surely there can be no stronger imperative than to quote Santayana: "Those who do not remember the past, are doomed to repeat it." And if I may speak in the vernacular, the events of the last few years (months, weeks. . .) would sure as hell suggest that someone is forgetting something. In a culture where the deaths of young black men are almost invariably blamed on the victim, it should be no surprise that America's Holocaust--our tragic …

Atlanta, GA — Today, globally, African Americans in the corporate world have an extra detail on their to-do list that risks self-esteem, personal productivity, and the inalienable right to thrive. Tasked daily with surviving racial bias and its resulting inequality, bright black men and women must watch what they say, who they say it to, and, most importantly, how they say it. It is called “code-switching,” and no one is immune, not even President Barack Obama. Putting a spotlight on what he calls discrimination by design, a new book by author Cori Williams looks at how African Americans get from one day to the next in corporate America. Released on September …

Risks, Rewards & Consequences is a fact-based work of fiction that covers federal crimes where race, sex and religion are of no significance. The book covers more than drugs, sex, and violence. However, no book that realistically covers crimes can be without those. It is a fun, exciting, educational, page-turner filled with fascinating characters from the Caribbean and America, real crimes, and sizzling-hot sex. But what makes this book unique, is that as the story is being told and the criminal activities unfold (Risks), I use clever ways to point out to the reader the realistic amount of money (Rewards) that the character will make, the Federal Statutes being broken…

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OCTOBER 1988 - OCTOBER 2013 We can hardly believe it! Twenty-five years ago we started Just Us Books as a fledging children's book publishing company.
