    ROMANCE FOR THE STREETS

    Publisher: Tinsley Phelps (November 27, 2009)

    Some people go around looking for love in the wrong places... but what happens when love is found on the streets? Will romance be given a chance to bloom or will it fall by the wayside? Three couples let you into their hoods, their lives and their hearts.

    "My Boo" by Marlon McCaulsky

    There's always that one person that will always have your heart and for Larenz that girl is Felicia. They fell in love as teenagers in Harlem and despite the allure of the streets Larenz has held on to her love. But the streets won't let go so easily and when his boy Q needs him to make a run with him Larenz must choose between being loyal to a friend or the love of his life.

    "By Your Side" by Ben Blaze

    Dominique and Blahzay have invested three years in a tumultuous relationship. Through the arguments, lies, abuse, and baby mama drama, Dominique has often called it quits, but manages to take her man back. After one of their many breakups, Blahzay's best friend is murdered in the streets, rocking the community and devastating him. Upon seeing the pain in his eyes, Dominique vows to always stay by her man s side. That pledge gets tested when another baby mama emerges, another man comes into the picture, and Blahzay's street crimes cause a tragedy. Will Dominique bail or stand by her promise?

    "For Love or Money" by K. Roland Williams

    Jasmine Brooks is a woman yearning for love. She has been through the wringer with men, and along with her tight knit group of girls; Rochelle and Simone, she has all but given up trying to find the perfect man and relationship. Her mind is swayed as Jasmine finally meets someone who could potentially be her soul mate-Darius Meeks, who is sexy, considerate, mysterious, financially secure-all of the things that the other men in her life had not been. Her bright future dims as Rio, the Latino crime boss of their hood begins to desire Jasmine and give her more att

    Poem 4 Young Brothers
    (Dedicated 2 Derrion Albert, 16 and Kevin Miller, 13)
    By Derrick James Thornton

    I don’t mean to wake you from obscurity…

    But there is No Santa Clause.
    No Easter Bunny.
    No Tooth Fairy or Boogeyman hiding under your Bed.
    But there are two more young black men DEAD.

    And that’s a reality.
    One 16… Another 13…
    Each of them a casualty.
    They were old enough to know the dangers of street life,
    however still too young to be a formality.

    Young Black men…
    Why do we continue to look at life as if it’s disposable?
    We must learn that we cannot go in and out of this life- unnoticeable.
    We leave behind Black mothers and grandmothers who can do nothing more than become emotional…

    They wake up clinching bibles, and crying out for Jesus.
    And all the while… We make them take that extra mile….
    And kill each other for no obvious reason.

    But we “Gangsta” ain’t we?
    Proving our gangsta by talking all gangsta and rockin’ Chucks.
    It takes 3 of us to jump a brother, or shoot him in his head…
    When we can fight it out… Let the anger out…
    Both go home and the next morning each wake up.
    Man, we gotta get tired of taking close-ups…

    TV cameras and mug shots.
    We gotta get dedication…
    To education….
    And stop pushin crack rocks.

    In one week…
    Both Derrion Albert and Kevin Miller were murdered in the streets.
    One on a block in Chicago and the other on a street corner in Queens.
    Both of them were Royalty…
    Forced to exit so horribly…
    And neither of them were allowed to become KINGS.

    This…MUST STOP!!!!

    Midday In Atlanta (True Story)
    By Derrick James Thornton

    With a combined love for fish and grits.
    She and I embarked on a journey- written just like this…

    She was five foot two; the baddest chick.
    She liked hot sauce on everything- and didn’t limit a dish.

    The city of Atlanta was this lady’s stomping grounds of choices.
    Her body was perfect…
    She knew how to work it…
    And damn I loved her voice.

    She invited me to dinner…

    Fried chicken, yams, and collard greens.
    She could cook her ass off…
    And kept a brother on lean.

    She smelled tempting; I couldn’t help but stay for the eve.
    We were all up in the bedroom…
    Making some leg room…
    Can you imagine the scene?

    She and I got so close; nothing could slip in between.
    She fixed me a night cap;
    sat down in my lap
    And we shared a lil’ cast and crème.

    Lookin’ at my watch, I figured I’d stay for the nexus.
    She and I had suppa…
    We became luva’s…
    Only I had no idea I’d be meeting her husband at breakfast…

    Damn.

    Hi Urban Reviews,

    Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. The book that God has tasked me with completing, Carnal Striving Spiritual, is now available for secure purchase from my website - www.AnthonyJerrod.com, as well as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The already critically-acclaimed book is being endorsed by very prominent scholars, pastors and authors and has been reviewed as one of the best Christian books of 2009.

    Your help in advancing the Kingdom of God is appreciated. May you and yours have a wonderful day, and I hope that you will find something in the book that will bless you and/or help to improve your Christian walk.

    With humility and appreciation,

    Anthony
