Beyond A Better Pair of Shoes


Renegotiating Kaylin
by NaTisha R. Williams


A Backdrop and Synopsis- The year was 2006.  A new novel; the first for author NaTisha R. Williams would enter the much crowded world of literature.  Just like a baby.  However, it would have substantial meaning to those close to the author, and those soon to read it.  The title was Renegotiating Kayla.  The subject?  To many it appeared to be child sexual abuse.  To others, a girlfriend’s confessional or a look inside the misleading lives of four hard to forget characters, but no!  The subject was and still is, just as the title would indicate, “negotiation”.  Now thirteen years later, after a delayed ground-breaking, and a dazzling unfolding of the story, the author returns to renegotiate the inner life of the delicate and yet alluring breakaway star of The Decks and the Road Novel Series, Kaylin Johnson.

Her mother is dead.  Her father is in prison.  Yet, she’s no orphan.  Kaylin is sandwiched between two hugely influential siblings and may appear to be somewhat of a celebrity.  To add to the comforts they provide she keeps a tight grip on the largest pieces of the jigsaw her mother left behind of her own faded fame.  Still, there’s an elephant in the room of Kaylin’s personal life and she’s began to take on its image.   

Join the author and Grace Call Communications, LLC this February for the Suspended-Release of the last novel in The Decks and the Road Novel Series, “Renegotiating Kaylin”.  Fans of the series will uncover the truth about Kaylin’s past, as fans of Renegotiating Kayla await moments of nostalgia.  Find out which series characters will show up to support this installment and whether any new characters will be introduced by following the lead into the novel release beginning on Feb. 8th at thedecksandtheroad.blogspot.com

A Better Pair of Shoes, a novel                                                                     Chapter 1 Introduction ( narrated by Kayla) Just as we are living souls; life itself has a soul.  And there’s a heartbeat to life.  I call it the rising and the falling.  Just as we must rise, I’ve learned that we must fall.  I find that I’m grateful for the things I learn when I fall, yet I often dislike the cuts they bring and the scars they leave behind.  Today I fell, but perhaps for months I’ve been falling, and I have all the bumps and bruises to prove it.  Although they’re not visible to the eye, they are surely recorded on my soul.  It’s funny how often my spirit tried to warn me, with a bit of melancholy here and uncertainty there, but at the time, I hadn’t considered that life was forcefully trying to get me to step into a better pair of shoes.  I guess I thought I had more time.  Interesting, the rising never appears to be as long lived as the falling, and the discomf

(Click on the Image to open a clearer view) #ABPOS The Thinner Soul, Chp. 2 Kaylin- I write for almost everyone in the business, but not her.  Mountains do reach high and all valleys don't need to run so low.  We've been friends and we've been friendly.  I don't sing and I've never seen him again.  Kayla is Kayla, and I'm Kaylin.  She gambles at times and I never gamble.  He's near and He's nearer.  I know now and she knows too.  It's hard to be a threat when you don't see the threat.  She begged me once to step up into what she said she could see was a rich, delicate voice hiding in the shadows of a list of hit songs, but it's just never felt like a pair of shoes I needed to walk in.   I'm back in the country and my pick up is off the runway in a armored truck.  I go mainly unseen in and out of the country these days.  Usually it's a short ride not full of clutter or money bags. Except this one time there was a huge dress bag hanging
