About me:
Visit www.mirikacornelius.com to preview and order all books written by Mirika Mayo Cornelius

Mirika is the author of three novels, and the proud co-owner of the publishing house Akirim Press, which specializes in website design, banners and book covers, and editing services.
Publishing her first suspense/dramatic novel in the year of 2002 entitled Secret, she never dreamed that it would be such a big entertainer. As a result of Secret's popularity, she carved out the 2nd book in this family saga as the dramatic pre-quel entitled Colored Lily, Poppa Took My Innocence in the year 2005.

Now the year 2008 has rolled around, Mirika has set in place a new, fresher novel entitled Ain't Quite...What I Thought which is set for release this year. It is unlike her other two novels in that it relates more with twisted love and romance.

Mirika is also the sole founder and editor-n-chief of INN THE BASEMENT newsletter and INNTHEBASEMENT.COM which have become the ultimate spots for fast and friendly star studded entertainment around the globe. With over more than 20,000 hits per month in just 6 months when first launched, INNTHEBASEMENT.COM has carved its own niche on the world wide web featuring the latest news releases in every area of entertainment with it's own spin, including one on one exclusive interviews with authors and documentary style features.

As the proud mother of the soon to be son who is to be born in April 2008, she can't wait to branch off into this newer realm of life and experience all of what she can learn and teach her first born son, along with husband, two time author and scriptwriter, Rod Cornelius.

Mirika not only has literature licked, but has earned in 1999 a Bachelor's Degree in Pre-Med Biology as well as became a nationally certified professional as an Optician. She is also a contributing writer to the online magazine Empowering Everyday Women as well as a fashion model.

View the BookVideo For Newest Release-Ain't Quite What I Thought

Jeena Delilah Ray has an issue. That issue surrounds a man she fell deeply in love with while making love to him atop a restaurant table, and then finding out that this loverboy isn't all that she thought, but instead, the doodoo underneath the grass that was supposed to be oh so green.

Caught up in the deception of her heart as well as some little known facts about loverboy that turn her guts to mush, Jeena quickly learns that you get what you ask for when falling in love with a married man!

View Book Video For SECRET, the 2002 debut release

In the small, southern town of Louisville, Georgia, there is a scorned secret that has ripped through homes. Accursed is the whore that it came from, people around town say, but to a sassy, country girl named Secret, that's not all to it. She asks herself, what curse, and what does it have to do with me? That's when Secret takes matters into her own hands and attempts to solve the terrifying mystery of her family.

"As founder of INN THE BASEMENT, I wanted to create a new way of looking at things in entertainment that I felt was missing in the things that I read and saw each time I picked up a magazine or viewed the news. INN THE BASEMENT produces a fresher angle on the news, making it truly new while taking the time out to not overlook some of the most critical things in the world today. INN THE BASEMENT is the location for the public to CHECK INN and NEVER CHECK OUT." - Mirika Mayo Cornelius

INN THE BASEMENT, the newsletter was officially launched in 2007 and then, through the success of the newsletter and the large following, branched off in website format. In just 3 months beginning in Fall 2007, INNTHEBASEMENT.COM ran with over 10,000 views a month and the count continues to rise with readers from across the entire globe stretching from the UK to Africa and the USA.

Woman After God's Own Heart	Jul 6 2008 7:40 PM FIVE GOOD WAYS TO TELL IF YOUR WALK WITH GOD IS SHALLOW If you follow the Lord for only what He can do for you, your walk with Him is shallow. If you love Him enough to ask Him what you can do for Him, then your relationship is growing deep. If you only pray to God when things are tough or you need something, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you find yourself praying to Him many times a day just because you love to be in His presence, then your relationship is growing deep. If you get mad at God or disappointed in Him when He doesn’t do what you say, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you can praise God no matter what is going on in your life, then your relationship with Him is growing deep. If you love God only because of what He does, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you love and reverence Him for who He is, then your relationship with Him is growing deep. If you think you have to beg God or twist His arm to get Him to answer your prayers, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you believe that God wants to answer the prayers you pray in line with His will, then your relationship with Him is growing deep. God has so much to speak into our lives, but if we don’t draw apart from the busyness of our day and spend time alone with Him in quietness and solitude, we will not hear it. Jesus Himself spent much time alone with God. If anyone could get away with not doing it, surely it would have been Him. How much more important must it be for us? Spend time with your Heavenly Father, and see what He has to say. Have a bless week, and remember your Heavenly Father is listening just speak to Him. Until next time, Your Sister in Christ Raynee
I Curse Death	Jun 26 2008 3:41 PM If Adam had never sinned in the Garden of Eden, would he still have died? If death came by sin and Jesus Christ defeated sin on the cross, what happened to death? In I Curse Death, author Donnell Duncan boldly answers these questions and many more. The message is simple: man was designed by God to be immortal and only lost that gift by falling into sin. Duncan demonstrates with scripture that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ restored this gift to all those who believe..

Woman After God's Own Heart	Apr 6 2008 10:58 AM The Bible says that to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens. Well my brethren - now is the season and this is the time for your purpose in the Lord. As we mature and grow in the things of the Lord, we must all reach the level at which we operate beyond our feelings. In order to be fruitful and effective, we nee to be governed by the Holy Spirit rather than the ever-changing needs of our emotions. When feeling discouraged, remind yourself the in Christ, you have all things that pertain unto life and godliness; therefore rejoice! You’re not rejoicing because you feel depressed, but because you know in Whom you believe. Believe God and His Word. The Lord shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory. You shall prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers. God hears you when you say, “Lord, I just don’t feel anything, but I’m going to praise You anyway. Pray that the Lord will strengthen you. Pray and tell the enemy, “You’re a liar. My flesh will not govern me. Your prayer is unto the Lord. Your prayer is your connection to the Almighty One. Just when you think that you’ve exhausted yourself before the Lord, I dare you to press into His presence even further. Refuse to be used against yourself. There is a time and season for everything, this is your season. The Lord is waiting, be blessed in the Lord. Much Love, Until Next Time Your Sister in the Lord Raynee

Woman After God's Own Heart	Dec 31 2007 10:43 PM Happy New Year I pray that 2008 be a year of rest, less stress and spiritual growth for you. I pray that you receive all that the Lord has for you, That He blesses you beyond measure.

Get your priorities in order, And all else will come in God’s timing New Years Prayer Dear Lord, In the new year, I pray that You will guide us each new day in paths that are pleasing to You. Lord, the new year gives us another chance to rededicate our lives to You, to study Your Word so that we know right from wrong and to act in accordance with Your commands. Thank you for the sense of direction, purpose and peace we get from aligning our lives with Your Holy will. I pray for the strength and the will to obey You each and every day of the new year, and when we fail, I pray for Your mercy, Your compassion, Your grace and Your love. Help us in the new year to be your faithful servants. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen. glitter-graphics.com

Woman After God's Own Heart	Oct 7 2007 7:47 PM Hello Woman of God It’s been awhile, I pray that all is well with you., you are always in my prays. I thank God for you always. I’ve been staying on my post and working for the Lord. My daughter’s production company has been a great priority and The Lord has been blessing us beyond measure. She's lookin to write a book, any tips would be greatly appreicated. With the following, I was reading this the other day and it lifted my spirits, My hope is that it will do the same for you.Stand on the Word of God and watch Him show up and show off. May the Lord continue to bless you and give you the desires of your heart.Until next time, Have a Blessed Week, Much Love Your Friend and Sister in the Lord As a living sacrifice our lives belong to God, and the reward becomes ours. Those who are truly committed have the full joy of knowing that they do not have to journey this life alone. Fully committed Christians benefit in a daily walk with a God who is fully committed in His endless love demonstrated in His plan of salvation. “Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.” Proverbs 16:3 The ability to enjoy life and succeed in one’s pursuits is a gift from God. When we are brought into a right relationship with Him and are submissive to Him, He then gives us joy and confidence in what we do. One’s confidence in oneself must be based on a solid foundation, which is God. He promises to do great things for those who wait for him. Look to him and persevere in hope, confidence, and patience. “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.” 1John 5:14 As Women of God, we must abide truthfully to our positions of faithfulness as mothers, friends, and leaders. God’s faithfulness toward man mirrors an example of how faithfulness leads to productivity, resulting in the fruit of diligence, security, and reliability. It also creates an atmosphere of stability -not only for self, but
