Talk to Me (Urban Christian) (2008)
Brief description of Talk To Me


Noel Richardson is perfect, but degrees, wealth, and good genes don't define a man. The CEO of a St. Louis non-profit organization, Noel doesn't respond when women whisper compliments behind his back. It's only God's voice Noel hears.
His life has been anything, but easy since surviving a fireworks explosion that kills his best friend and shatters his hearing. That's in his past. He's learned to co-exist between two worlds?hearing and Deaf. One example is Noel tolerances ridicule from his friends when he's slow to interject into their lively sports debate despite mastering lip reading. Living in the Deaf community isn't any easier. There are constant reminders that Noel is a distinct outsider.
For years, his Sunday morning worship consisted of tele-evangelists. Spiritually, he was dying from the lack of fellowship. What could he do? Very few churches had what he needed.
Then Noel stumbles across an invitation flashing on a portable sign: Thanksgiving service. All are welcome. Deaf ministry provided.
Once inside God's Grace Church, he's captivated by Interpreter Mackenzie Norton's graceful hands.
To Noel, Mackenzie's exquisite, a steadfast believer, and head strong. With her, Noel can hear the impossible.

Guilty of Love (2007)
Guilty of Love Blurb


When do you know the most important decision of your life is the right one?
Reaping the seeds from what she's sown; Cheney Reynolds moves into a historic neighborhood and becomes reclusive, energized only by restoring a dilapidated cottage that once resembled somebody's home.

Cheney didn't know yard work was so hazardous. First her neighbor, the incomparable Mrs. Beatrice Tilley Beacon aka Grandma BB, an opinionated childless widow who is a sassy senior citizen. Grandma is a self-proclaimed expert on topics Cheney isn't seeking advice?everything from landscaping to hip-hop dancing to romance.

Another neighbor is a harmless, irritating stalker. Parke Kokumuo Jamison VI is a direct descendent of a royal African tribe. He learned his family ancestry, African history, and lineage preservation before he could count. Blessed with a sharp mind, a handsome image, and a wealthy portfolio, Parke is convinced that finding a woman worthy of his love requires hours of research. A task he indulges in with zest. But his soul will make the ultimatum choice. Somehow his heart is malfunctioning when it chooses the strongly-independent Cheney who barely notices what other women don't forget?his presence.

Their worlds collide during a morning jog. Parke notices Cheney in front of her house, and she's not a pretty sight. He categorizes her as a Survivor contestant. Seeing an accident waiting to happen, Parke not only rescues her from a sure fall, but also rescues her heart that needs an extreme makeover. Cheney isn't stirred by Parke Jamison, whatever number he claims to be, because he is not a "right fit" in her life.

At the same time Cheney succumbs to her guilt, Parke learns he's not as squeaky clean as he believes. Unwittingly, they are drawn to each other, but it takes Christ to weave their lives into a spiritual bliss while He exonerates their past indiscretions.
