Eaton: "It had taken me what felt like an eternity to hear her voice again.  There had been a thick wall of fog that stood between us after I had suddenly plummeted from a high place.  Within that fog was a stunning white light that spoke to me, and presented Radiance as a bride.  The voice was strong and seemed familiar; somewhat reminiscent of an era past.  It spoke about things that were once important to me.."  Jeff: " I didn't know how to feel about everything I'd heard, but it was all carefully documented.  I suddenly felt what my great-grandfather had done.  Without a doubt, I had been transported by...

Excerpt from A Better Pair of Shoes "The Thinner Soul", a novel "The first time I heard his voice, I was rattled.  Internally, I mean.  I was frozen inside with fear.  So, I stayed quiet.  I was moving and speaking and doing all the things I was suppose to on the outside, but I remained split logistically.  I remained in my head, but I was able to multi-task it all.  I could hear my questions, "what was that?" and "what's happening to me?" replay while I conversed, and my body made all the same ro...

Excerpts for the Finalists: Radiance - "We hadn't spoken everyday in a while.  I knew from his voice that he knew where we were.  When he arrived at my door, I could also tell by his eyes.  We hugged for a long while, then he kissed me near my ear.  I held his hand and led him to my closet. 'You'll never understand unless you see it.'    I reassured, and when he had seen it, he quickly backed out of the space.." Jeff - "I sat on the edge of the bed prolonging my routine.  It was definitely an end of the day type of conversation.  I knew it was bigger than lunch.  It had the feeling of a Sunday morning kind of dialogue, but I squeezed it into the middle of the week.  ...

The Nominations for "Best First Chapter" in a Suspended-Release Novel are: Radiance Dunbar ... Chp. 1 "Really Radiance?"  Those were the words I heard next.  I'm still trying to place where they came from.  Were they from the thinner soul within me, the thinner soul without me, or the thinner soul around me?  Wherever it arrived from.. my job is to sell four million records.  Kaylin .. Chp. 2 Everyone knows K-Ezra and everybody knows Radiance Dunbar, but no one knows our game except the numbers.  I wouldn't say I taught her to write, and God knows I was writing long before him.. but she can't say the same.  However it goes, pain's my slave and she's probably pain's slave. Jeff Dunbar ... Chp. 3 Who said you couldn't be your own hottest artist on the roster.  Well, a little bird said level up and keep all the levels, and s...

Congratulations Kayla!! Excerpts from Kayla’s Role the Book… A Better Pair of Shoes, Novel “My eyes settled on a thin envelope with large cursive writing in heavy blue ink, and I became very curious to know what was enclosed.” “I sat in silence for a few moments after Camie had dragged her skeleton out of the closet.  I tried to put myself in her shoes and say something similar to the kind of thing I would have wanted to hear, but I couldn’t seem to put the words together.  Eventually, I heard myself mutter “wow”.   This was obviously a hat I had never bothered to try on, and surely there was a good reason why; it just didn’t fit.  ” “How our individual orbits had directed us both to Dr. Kat Shepherd, I did not know.  As I made the dreadful realization, my heart began to pound fast and hard.  I tried to get a look at my sister without staring or making a fuss.”

Congratulations to Reece! Excerpts from Reece’s Appearance in the Book… A Better Pair of Shoes, a novel “ She had a way of talking and smiling at the same time.   Her sway was definitely intentional and sent waves through the large room, but up until now, it was still unknown what it was after.” “Just then, I noticed Reece at one of the tables across the floor, joined by a couple.  I assumed they were her guests.” “Reece smiled and just like that; she was gone.”  

Congratulations Ketly Chenille!! Excerpts from Ketly’s Role in the Book… A Better Pair of Shoes, Novel “The drive was pretty quiet.  There was lots of anxiety.  …Raina was not cool.  She was not care-free, and bubbling over with smiles and funny stories she’d heard.  I understood it, and left it alone.” “It felt as though I was in the belly of the whale with guts all around me.  …When I’d collected the parts of me I wanted to leave with, I made my way back to my seat.” “When it was all over, everyone was there, and Raina was gone.”    

Congratulations to Jeffrey Dunbar who didn't have a name in "Renegotiating Kayla", but certainly made a name for himself in ABPOS. Excerpts from Jeff’s Role in the Book… A Better Pair of Shoes, Novel “…I just wish you could be patient.  I love the way I feel when I’m with you, but I don’t know that I can be faithful to you.” “I hadn’t written a single word in over two weeks.  … I kept trying to pin point what was so different about her.” “I stepped into the large tub, and relaxed my heavy mind.  I waited for the water to overtake me, and in the meantime I continued to flood my insides.”   Start the book now:  https://abetterpairofshoes.blogspot.com/2017/05/chapter-1-camies-secret.html

Congratulations Tony!! Excerpts from Tony’s Role in the Book… A Better Pair of Shoes, Novel “I usually looked in on all the action in the club from my window upstairs and hardly ever went down.  On this night however, I already knew that if she would show up, I would join her.  Suddenly, just after ten, I spotted her.”  “I was done pulling teeth, and I just needed to get this dark into the light once and for all.” “What?  No.  No, no, no…. God, don’t do this.”  I laid my head flat on my desk, and held the back of my head.” 

Congratulations Aisha! Excerpts from Aisha's Role in the Book...    A Better Pair of Shoes, a novel " Finally, after a half hour of waiting, the Doctor called for me.   I got up slowly hoping to down play my urgent need for the visit."   "Tony and I were happily married!   I was sure of it—so how could I have ended up with this?   It just wasn’t possible.     ... Funny, how when I was way out there, I hadn’t caught a single thing—not even the flu..."     " I found the crumpled piece of paper hiding behind one foot of the bed, and opened it up to Evan’s sloppy writing.  I punched the first three numbers into my cellphone and stopped.  What am I doing ?  I punched in the last four numbers, and I hit talk without another thought."   

Excerpts from Camie's Role in the Book A Better Pair of Shoes, a novel "...This shameful secret was one I had considered many times, but continued to keep.   I also learned it was especially easier when dealing with men.  ... Every now and then, I’d start to feel the emptiness."   "I just needed a little bit of reality.   Not the one I had created and now knew, but the one that waited for me in Tampa where Camie was simply a fictional character.   As I left Miami behind, I felt more and more like a fraud."   "Desperate and furious, I pulled my cellphone from the holder on my waist and speed-dialed Kayla’s number.   I just needed someone to talk to; someone who had some dirt too, and wouldn’t judge me."
