Don't be a statistic; be a success story!

 

48 Laws of Hustling: Don't Be A Statistic is a self-help business book about many young men who fall victim to the siren song of the streets, often glamourized through music videos and movies. The secrets of the streets can propel you to success in any entrepreneurial endeavor you undertake, even in corporate America and as a working class citizen. Ricky St. Julien, formerly known as the rapper Silk G. pulls back the covers of the game or hustling as it is widely known, in an effort to keep forthcoming generations from becoming a statistic.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics an article in the January, 2014 Huff Post Black Voices, “One in every three black males born today can expect to go to prison at some point in their life, compared with one in every six Latino males, and one in every 17 white males if current incarceration trends continue.”

Many of these young men fall victim to the siren song of the streets…Often glamorized through music videos and movies. The truth is, the streets have rules, and the failure to make it big in the game-whatever that game may be is directly tied to the failure to learn, understand, and maintain the rules.

In 48 Laws of Hustling, St. Julien, who has spent time as a guest in the prison system, pulls back the covers of the game, or hustling as it is widely known in an effort to keep forthcoming generations from becoming a statistic.

#BookReview: Hearts Forged in Dragon Fire by Erica Hollis

Synopsis: For fans of Abigail Owen and Samantha Shannon comes a breathtaking, energetic novel where the only way to defeat a dragon is to outsmart it…

Most dragontongues don’t live long enough to learn from their mistakes. Lotte Meer is luckier than most, surviving long enough to communicate with the fierce, sullen, and temperamental dragons who are not above enjoying a human as a light snack. And she has the scars to prove it.

Now a massive, foul-tempered dragon has taken over the town of Morwassen's Pass, taking the citizens hostage. As long as they bring him their gold and treasure, he won’t reduce their city to a smoking heap of ash and death. Only, the treasure is running out and Lotte—with the help of sharp-tongued, unbelievably cute Maryse Basvaan—is their last and only hope. 

But this dragon is more cunning—and more cruel—than any other. Not only is he holding Lotte’s estranged mom captive, but he has a taste for betrayal…and somehow he’s stricken some kind of secret deal with the girl who’s already gone and stolen Lotte’s heart. 

Lotte won’t fail. She can’t. 

Because if she does…everyone dies.

Rome’s Last Noble Palace
Kimberly Sullivan
Publication date: December 6th 2023
Genres: Adult, Historical, Paranormal, Women’s Fiction

Two women. Two different centuries. One attic room

American Isabelle Field has been shipped off to Rome to live with her aunt, Princess Elizabeth Brancaccio. Isabelle’s aunt and mother share a common goal – replicating Elizabeth’s success by marrying Isabelle off to a European nobleman.

But Rome in 1896 is on the cusp of a new century and Isabelle longs for more than a titled husband. She secretly designs costumes for Rome’s burgeoning theatre environment and dreams of opening a fashion atelier. Can she gather the courage to forge a life for herself, even if it means going against expectations?

Over a century later, doctoral candidate Sophie Nouri can’t believe her good fortune when she is selected to intern in Rome’s Near Eastern Art Museum. Even better, the position includes an attic apartment in the spectacular museum property, the Palazzo Brancaccio.

Overseeing a major exhibition is stressful, but tension alone can’t explain the disturbing nighttime presence in the deserted hallways of the grand palace – especially one no one else can sense. Almost as if a spectral being is trying to communicate with Sophie directly. Or warn her.
