Silver Lining by Bestselling Author Wanda B. Campbell

Coming August 2011!

After exchanging vows with  a prominent physician, Marlissa Scott-Jennings is prepared to enjoy the life most women dream about, but only a few achieve until demons from her past resurface with a vengeance.  Overnight, the perfect life she’d hoped for crumbles and leaves her finding comfort in alcohol.

Leon Scott had it all: a loving wife, children and a thriving business until tragedy strikes and he trades it all in for a bottle in a brown paper bag. After too much to drink leads to a night in a motel room, Marlissa’s and Leon’s world collide, resulting in friendship and sobriety.

On their journey from addiction, the two friends face their toughest task: repairing their broken marriages. Although their spouses may not prove to be as forgiving as the Lord, Marlissa and Leon continue to press forward, despite the obstacles, believing that after every storm there is always a Silver Lining.

“Catt Chasing” by Shana Burton – Coming July 1, 2011!

Head research and development chemist Jamal Ford has narrowed his love-life down to a science through the creation of his 30-Day Dating Plan, a guide intended to weed out the drama queens, gold-diggers, and baby-mamas from his ideal part goddess, part sex kitten, and part Stepford Wife mate.  Jamal knows he’s one of Charlotte, North Carolina’s most eligible bachelors and won’t settle for anything less than the trophy wife of his dreams.

Catherine “Catt” Cason has never let scheming co-workers, her loving (but overbearing) father, or her full-figure slow her down.  The brilliant, formulating chemist takes being labeled “the cute fat girl” in stride as she fast tracks her way to a top position with her cosmetic company.  While she would enjoy the love of a good man, Catt refuses to risk her career, or her heart being broken again, just to have a warm body at her side.  Besides, why settle for the love of an earthly man when she is the fiancé of Christ?

When Jamal is paired with Catt to launch a new product for work, it’s loathe at first sight.  She thinks he’s arrogant and incompetent.  He thinks she’s a sanctimonious kill-joy. But a cross country road trip forces them to put aside their differences in order to get the job done.  Over the course of the trip, the two are met with one disaster after another but somewhere between bickering and Baltimore, Jamal and Catt begin to see each other in a new light.  She opens his eyes to the word of the Lord, and Jamal ignites a spirited, carefree side of her that she didn’t know existed. They both return to Charlotte with the realization that what they thought they wanted may not be what God knows they need.

In this game of love, rules don’t exist and no heart is safe. The Lord is speaking, but will they be too caught up in their own agendas to listen?

…Are You Keepin’ Up With the Divas?…

BLESSEDselling Author, E.N. Joy, brings readers back into the lives of the DIVAS—the Divine, Independent, Virtuous, and Animated Sisters of New Day Temple of Faith—in this fast-paced drama. Lorain is back from her sabbatical, and although God didn’t reveal to her all that she wanted regarding her past, she refuses to just let things be. When all the pieces of the puzzle come together, just how many lives will be damaged, and how many will be restored? The survivor of one of the most horrific experiences a person could ever endure, it appeared as though Sister Nita, as leader of New Day’s Janitorial Ministry, was hiding behind a mop and a broom. When her spirit discerns a cover-up amongst a couple of New Day’s members, will she turn a blind eye and mind her own business, or will she finally begin to operate in her true calling? Mother Doreen knows who she is and whose she is—a child of the King on assignment doing Kingdom work. When the plot thickens to a story on which she thought God had closed the book, will she forget who she is and what she was called to do?
The New Day Divas series, known as a soap opera in print, is full of chance, coincidence, and fate, but more importantly, it’s full of faith.
Trying to Stay Saved  will be available nationwide May, 2011. If you have not pre-ordered your copy, now is the time. You do not want to miss out on what the DIVAS are up to now!

Bravo, Kendra Norman Bellamy! Join the UC authors in congratulating our label mate and #1 Essence Bestselling author, Kendra Norman-Bellamy.

Kendra, we are so proud of all of your literary accomplishments and wish you many more.

Kendra also has a new release, “Upon This Rock”, which has received the usual top ratings on many book sites. This much-beloved and acclaimed Christian fiction author delivers another redemptive delight with the story of an ex-con who learns the hard way that it’s better to be with God than without Him. Deon “Rocky” Rockford is released after serving nearly twenty five years in jail. He may have been “saved” on the inside, but now that his term, originally a life sentence, has been overturned, and he’s free from the shackles of the prayers of the men’s ministry of the New Hope Church, he wants only to focus on himself. As fearless as he is strong, this big, brawny guy won many brawls behind bars, and feels ready to forge a new life in the infamous community of Shelton Heights. But he soon starts to see that the only “rock” he can count on is God.
