From an award-winning black journalist, a tough-minded look at the treatment of ethnic minorities both in newsrooms and in the reporting that comes out of them, within the changing media landscape.

Fictional branding bombshell gets a voice, and describes what she does, thinks and says away--and in--the hot kitchen, with a poetic flair. She's a frustrated figurehead, a nurturing nobody, a staple to society. What if she kills this version of herself and becomes real? What happens in the kitchen stays in the kitchen.

The ups, downs and sideways life experiences living with a disability.

Autumm Sparrow is the Princess of Wrendarea, and the only remaining heir to the thrown. She's been sent into hiding when her safety is questioned, and now she's living in the shadow of her own secret. But somebody knows she's lurking in Coffee City, South Carolina. Now it's a race against the clock to save herself, and those trying to protect her.

A car accident at the age of twenty-one paralyzed Amy Alexander from the shoulders down, instantly ripping the carpet of her life out from under her. She had lost control of the basic things most people take for granted - walking, trunk balance, finger movement, basic internal body functions and all the secondary physical, mental, emotional and social issues that comes with it. Fiercely independent, Amy fought to find control in her new life, and she found it when she recognized her gift of choice. Despite what the accident had taken away, she recognized she could still choose what she wanted and how she wanted it. Over almost twenty years, Amy has parlayed her belief in life into becoming an inspirational writer to remind us of our gift of choice and our individual personal power when we consciously apply that gift to our lives. The stories within this book will inspire you to shed the wheelchair you're using to hold you back from achieving your dreams.

Amy Alexander's story of the Kettle Daughter, beautifully created in a running series of artwork and poetry. Merging digital art with poetry, Amy took a single artwork and wrote a poem based upon it. From there, she alternated letting her own inspiration inspire her again and again until the story of the Kettle Daughter was rightly told."Alexander carefully mines her nearly mystical youth filled with spectres and sanctuaries, prayers and paths through frozen woods for just those intimate details that make her writing both swift and sparse and yet relatable and evocative of some universal coming of age we all experience surrounded by people and places demanding some kind of magic to fully understand. Kettle Daughter feels like a grand campfire tale, an emotional epic of the heart spoken in small whispers like embers dancing with a crackling flame." - Jeffrey Roedel
