Awesome new items ...

Come in and take a look!

It is always the season for giving

I absolutely love to give. Clothing, books, baby shower gifts, my art and sometimes even my writing skills.
Right now many working artists are reading this and they are thinking, ugh, stop giving your creativity away for free!
And they too are right and I do sell a few items here and there but it's hard out there for a crafter, artist, writer...or where ever the creative muses take me on any given day.
Now I am initiating a fundraiser to help out two very worthy causes. The first is funding to help underserved children receive their very own books via Usborne Books and More.
I am also proudly supporting a former student who is for the 2nd year in a row, going to a well known homeless area and passing out cold water, fruit and care packages. Although I cannot be there, I am glad to support her in her efforts.

Please click on the following image below to view some of my artwork and with each purchase, $5 will go towards assisting these very worthy causes.
Thank you so much for your purchases!

Oh, Helicopter!

Oh, Helicopter

Paula J. Sanders-Nelson

Originally published at HypeKast.com

Recently, I gave my post-millennial students a very complicated research assignment. Each student would have to find current or historical articles about a famous family member or
friend of the family. To my surprise, the most difficult task proved to be having a conversation with family members to discern things about people in their families. The assignment
quickly fell apart. Parents immediately started emailing disclaimers that there was
NOTHING to discover, no family available or the typical “woe is my child” excuse.
So, I relented and revised the assignment so that they had to research the meaning
and origin of their family name and then locate 3 positive articles, current or historical,
about someone with the same sur name. I even provide the website the students could
use to look up surname origins and meaning.

The excuses piled in from parents. My inbox was full!

I even helped a student find amazing information on a relative, while in my class and
she still failed to get the assignment completed once she got home. She hadn’t even
tried outside of class to research any further.

Parents continued on the attack:

“What does this have to do with English class?”

“It’s teaching students to use the internet as a
research tool.”

“Can they do something else?”

“No, I’ve already modified the assignment.”

“Can they have more time? This was really hard.”

“No, I have given a grace period of four days instead
of the regulated three, with 10 points off for each day that it is late. Sorry.”

Parent conferences have been scheduled. Calls to the principal have been made.

On the flip side of this disastrous assignment, students
who did go home and have an actual conversation with
Mom and Dad produced amazing work.
I read about a parent risking her life to get out of Vietnam
and to America, a grandfather who is a veteran sports writer
and another relative who is an innovative educator in the Caribbean.

The students who tackled the assignment not only walked
away proudly with an excellent mark, but they discovered a
new source of pride in their family. Most of all, I am thankful
for the parents who didn’t make lame-ass excuses or attack
the teacher for having the audacity to challenge their child
with an assignment that would force them to look at
who they are and where they come from.

This assignment gave me great insight into David T Conley’s position that our students
are ill equipped to handle the rigors of college. I’ve come to believe that his theory is valid
and is mainly due to all the damn wind being generated from their helicopter parents
blowing every assignment with the slightest challenge way
out of proportion.

Craigslist University: Accepted

2016-04-15T19:27:00.001-05:00

by J. Sanders-Nelson, 2016

Going through a freelance writer’s drought of paying gigs, I had this idea to list my writing services on Craigslist—hey we writers are always on our hustle, right? We are ridiculed for our college majors which are mainly English, Creative writing or any humanities degree and yet the same “funny” people who crack the same lame ass jokes about writers only teaching or working fast food continue year after year taking for granted that a writer is behind their current existence (from the instructions to putting together an IKEA shelf to the side effects of anti –depressants).

Now where was I, oh yes, so I went to the “services” link on Craigslist and it was like walking through the woods on a late night date with Jason Vorhees.

Chilling.

The first 100 listings were for academic writing assistance. One listing even offered, for a fee, of course, to take online classes for students! According to Neoacademic.com, “These websites employ people to write papers for undergraduates for a fee. A student might pay $2 per page for a term paper, for example. But such papers can be used in either in-person or online courses. This is not in any way unique to online courses.”

Really?

I wondered, how many paralegals, veterinarian assistants, and day care workers have used their excessive student loan dollars to pay some else to do their coursework? Yikes!

How many red-cheeked medical interns are smiling their way to the bank because some writer tucked away in a musty old home office, pounded out research papers for them? In a 2013 abstract posted by Medscape.com, “The reported prevalence of cheating among US medical students ranges from 0% to 58%. Cheating behaviors include copying from others, using unauthorized notes, sharing information about observed structured clinical encounters, and dishonesty about performing physical examinations on patients.”

How many people have cheated and really don’t know their stuff but still sit pretty and get paid to perform on a good-paying job they are NOT qualified for either by education or experience?

According to James Spencer, an IT manager, and consultant, the cost of hiring unqualified workers can be at great cost: “…your customers will come in contact with these "less-qualified" individuals. If customers are not happy with the service they receive, you risk losing them—a costly mistake. Plus, the morale of the rest of your staff may deteriorate if they are burdened with additional workload because you’ve hired workers who can’t do their job. The cost of turnover is high, and you will be faced with this expense if veteran staff members decide to leave.”

What kind of world are we living in where people can pay for some else to receive the required education? What kind of learners, workers and producers are we leaving this world to? An associate dean at the University of Florida, Chris Loschiavo addresses this issue in his article, “Why do students cheat? Listen to this dean’s words”, which suggests that 70% of college students admit to some type of cheating. Loschiavo goes on to state that students may behave this way for several reasons, the prime example being that they are “…motivated by the path to success that they see around them – people cheating without incurring any real consequences.”

Most disheartening is that fact that society seems to reward some of these behaviors with more attention.

Will there ever be laws against cyber-cheating in an attempt to instill integrity back into our culture?

Or will Craigslist simply join the growing number of for-profit education institutions? Congratulations, you have been accepted into Craigslist University, but then again, so is everyone else.

SCHNICTION: Hybrid writing revealed

2014-04-05T15:53:00.000-05:00

Writer J. Sanders-Nelson, sat out to publish a novella of small confessions. She thought she had a grip on life enough to reveal tid-bits of her life. So, she bundled together writings from over a ten year span and publish them.

However, J. struggled with the title, she struggled with coming up with what exactly it was she was publishing. This went on for about a week and finally, she settled on SCHNICTION. Her choice of the title, in her mind encompassed every aspect of her work, fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry and prose. It was a hodge-podge of musings, ranting, ravings, journaling, poetic and fictional longing of unrequited love…so abstract, so cohesive that she had to come up with her own name for the compilation. Then, she stumbled upon a post from Brevity magazine’s Facebook page about “hybrid” writing. The door opened and clarity rushed in; her writing was of a hybrid nature, in that it contained influence from all formats, forms and even genres of writing.

Hybrid writing is a relatively new term and articles regarding this kind of writing are limited. However, Jessica Dewberry’s article, “In the Trenches with Hybrid at AWP 2014” was very enlightening and offered some solace regarding hybrid writing. In the end, however, Dewberry simply calls herself a writer and not a hybrid writer. Because the terms was just too broad, too complex to try and fully explain:

“When people used to ask, “What do you write?” I found myself always wanting to include hybrid in my response. I would start the hot breath sound of the letter “h” before inhaling it back and then just describe a piece I was working on, hoping they got the picture. When I got back from the AWP, I deleted hybrid from my online profiles, leaving writer to speak for itself.” Dewberry

It was at this point that J. Sanders-Nelson, decided that perhaps adding “hybrid” to brand her writing might give a better impression of her style or at least get someone to crack open a page out of shear curiosity. She however, still simply refers to herself as, a writer.

Blocked Much?

2013-07-07T19:13:00.000-05:00

by Paula J. Sanders

Writer’s block is a female dog, in heat with a bad mood, no doubt about it. To further the issues a writer may have with creating is that one stresses over the inability to “put it on the page” as my friend C. Stephen Foster always says. But it’s not that easy? Or is it…

After multiple deaths in my family, writer’s block sat in and lingered, pointing and laughing at me, manifesting itself into the ‘lack of confidence monster” under my bed. I pouted and whined to friends but never really sought remedy. My friend Richard Ali, figured it could have been the case of over working myself, with two jobs during the summer, stating “…its quite a drag on creativity.” He was right of course, so I dropped one job and stuck with the one I felt was more creatively conducive.

I reached out to a few of my family of writers to get ideas on how they deal with or have dealt with writer’s block. My first response was from Montre Bible, author, artist, actor and self-proclaimed, local internet socialite, who provided a simple suggestion, “…you just stop and live a little... or just write a little...a sentence...don’t force it... but you need to relax or read a book…”

Normally, I would turn to my favorite author and muse, James Baldwin, and read the beginning of “Just Above my Head”. There is something about the grief of Hall Montana that blasts me back into the reality of how good I really do have it; most of the time. Only in the moment, in the midst of my own grief, I couldn’t bring myself to read about the loss of a little brother, having suffered the loss of my god-brother “Moses”. So I shied away from what usually works for me out of sadness and fear of memories.

However, according to Richard Ali, my most distant friend, a writer from Jos Plateau, Nigeria, author of “City of Memories”, believes a book could be just the seed you need. “The trick is to write whatever comes, usually stuff unrelated to the project at hand or to alternately pick up a book and read. Ideas have a way of doing strange fertilizing things to each other such that soon enough you're writing again on course.” Ah, Richard, the Eloquent, his words already taking root; growing. What might we find, bound and hidden away in the pages of our favorite text or a strange new novel, giving off ghostly musings at our reading leisure?

Do writers have leisure time? As a writer, have you ever told someone that writing is what you do for a living? Have they responded with, “Oh so you just sit around and write.” Um, yes because it’s just that damn easy: the starving, reclusive and lonely author, pondering life over the soothing whirl of his vintage electric typewriter.

It’s much more serious than that. “I write morning pages and I write and I remember each day. And if that fails I set a date to write with a friend--- no talking just lay track.” An avid believer in “The Artists Way” by Julia Cameron, actor, writer and author of “Awakening the Actor Within”, teacher and a second personality of Miss Celie (from The Color Purple), C. Stephen Foster, proffered his ritual, which has proven to be the golden egg for him.

But a thousand year old egg for me... I started my morning pages, for one morning and stopped when I didn’t wake up writing the latest greatest story in the world. The most frustrating thing about battling writer’s block is how many ideas without inspiration I had swarming around my head like drunken bees. Similar to the creative fate of my friend, co-founder of Blaque Artists Collective and creative partner in dramatic crime, Buster Spiller. This is what he shared:

“I wait for inspiration to write. If I really want to 'spark' that inspiration, I watch a movie or TV program related to the theme and that sometimes helps. For me, writing is a 'feeling'. Like yesterday, I was thinking about writing something that would be the equivalent of "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry in terms of the need for a GOOD family drama with issues of today…That thought stayed with me and this morning when I got up, I had the concept. Then I had the title. [My partner] and I walked the babies (Sadie, elder black lab and Beau, baby lab and newest member of the family) around the lake, the characters started to come to me but vaguely. I got home to write and BOOM, writer's block. LOL! By chance (and probably not), my female cousin called to talk about some family issues. As we talked, the character descriptions came to me like rapid fire! She had to hang up momentarily and during that brief period, I cranked out the descriptions of the 8 characters.”

So is it providence for Buster or maybe for everyone. I learned from Stephen that what you put out into the Universe is what you get back. So as writers perhaps we are always putting out or pleading to the Universe for inspiration and suddenly it comes in the form of a phone call, text chain message or finding an old picture of something that sparks a memory and then…your fingers tingle.

Is there a missing method? A secret to getting around this giant block of Gibraltar halting the flow of creativity? Donnie Wilson, writer, director, producer and dear friend has it almost down to a science. “Whenever I encounter writer's block, I will do a combination of one or three things":

1. Completely remove myself from the piece to involve myself in someone else's Creative endeavor. This usually reinvigorates my writing immediately.

2. I will highlight key questions regarding the direction of the work and mull over them ad nauseum until my sub conscious is engaged. When I go to sleep my creative juices start to flow, sometimes waking me in the middle of the night with inspiration. However, this method is not time dependable and can't be relied upon if I have a deadline. But I must say it has created some of my best writing.

3. I push through it. Not giving myself a break. And if it a small blockage, I am able to move creatively forward.”

illustration by JADII

Pushing through it, in the end, isn’t that what any good writer will do, deadline or not. Don’t we have to get it out and on the page? Isn’t there within us some eternal itch, the gifting we have pressing against us like tiny fetus feet, waiting to be born? And what do we do? We push.

Of course during the worrying about my bout of never ending writer’s block, inspiration dropped down on me like a ton of bricks and the veil was lifted. Now, I am writing, revising and writing some more. I guess my personal solution: stop stressing about it, stop obsessing about it and the words will come. Which-ever advice you take or ignore, the ultimate goal is to tell the story, get it out, at all creative cost, dammit tell that story and bask in your own personal glory.

Mantra: “Writing is everything to me.” Repeat.

Universe=Heart

2011-07-20T18:55:00.000-05:00

"My heart is in sync with the Universe and my Universe is in sync with my heart. Therefore, I must be careful of how I love and even how I hate. The Universe will give me exactly what it is that I give out." ---J.Sanders, writer, teacher, mother

"What you give out is exactly what comes back to you, in it's own due time...that's what I would say because it is real..."--- Buster Spiller, actor, writer, director

"The universe has a way of returning favor whether you are in sync or not, so we should always be happily carefree with love and careful not to hate at all." ---TY, reasonalist

"The universe responds to your VIBRATION and to what you concentrate upon...so, if you are...focusing on being poor or unloved, or anything "negative" you are attracting MORE into your life....but IF you focus on positive and things that you WANT you are drawing that into your life...give up all negative, helpless, "victim" stories and talk only about what you want and it will swing into your life...start telling the miracle stories, the stories of awards you're winning, you books selling, and see for yourself how fast those things begin to show up....also, watch how quickly you tell a negative story and how FAST your life can start to swing THAT way. experiment and play with this law...." --- C. Stephen Foster, author, actor, writer, director, filmmaker

“I would respond that I absolutely believe in this. I'd even argue that I live my life by such a principle. I'm dealing with an issue with my car right now and I've been tempted to say the most evil, racist things to this man (he's Mexican) and make all kinds of threats. The problem is, internally, I feel like this man is OK deep down. He's just trying to make his money and feed his family. I'm still pissed, but I'm refraining from spitting venom at him because I feel like putting out that level of hatred towards someone will most definitely come back on me. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. Or sometimes immediately; either way it's coming back. I think people should always allow themselves to be mad - because bottling up all that negative energy is what'll have someone picking people off from a clock tower. However, being deliberately being mean to someone is uncalled for. If I refrain from cussing him out now, someone will refrain from cussing me out later. You ever cut somebody off - accidentally or on purpose, doesn't matter - and then almost immediately get cut off by someone else? That's the Universe correcting itself. Some things are small and require little to no inconvenience on your part. You'll be irritated, but it'll pass quickly because your initial infraction was mildly irritating to the Universe. Some things are big; so you get hit with your car getting stolen or losing $100 bucks in a parking lot or you might even accidentally harming yourself. The Universe always corrects itself. That's why you have to continuously count your blessings. Because somewhere along the way, you did something right and the Universe is pleased. It's why when you get blessed, you should look for chances to bless someone else. Because it gives them a chance to bless someone and so on. Think of the effects of that cycle of positivity. It's enough to make me believe in and live by the statement you've made above.”--- Catherine “Ms. Gata” Montgomery, writer, thespian

Ok the root of hate is fear. Fear is the absence of love and is our teacher to help us truly understand what love is. This is usually my quote "Suffering or fear is the illusion that affords us the opportunity to understand the reality of love." ---Ty Hudnall, alternative healer, musician, astrologist

Getting Started: Advice from Seasoned Scribes

2011-05-24T20:40:00.004-05:00

by J. Sanders-Nelson

Many people have asked me, "how did you write a novel?" "where did you start?" or "how do you start?".
Most times these questions come from a person who has always long to put creative ideas and stories to the page but were never quite sure where to start.
Pondering these pesky questions, I inquired of some of my most talented pen-toters to give their honest to goodness words of advice to would-be, could-be or should-be writers.

I begin with long time fellow writer, Willie Holmes, educator, writer and theatrical founder who simply replies:

"Writers write when they are tired and sleepy. Writers write when they are depressed or happy. Writers write in the midst of a tragic or inspiring moment. Writers write when the hypocrisy of love breaks down their immune system. Writers write when they don' t want to write. For those who want to write, just write."

C. Stephen Foster, cherished friend, actor, playwright, filmmaker and author of Awakening the Writer Within states,

"My advice to writers...don't worry if you are good or bad just WRITE! write, write write. write what you know, write what you don't know, write for fun, write for work, write, write, write.
While you are amassing a body of work with your daily writing, begin to send it out! Don't worry about it being perfect or what the "market" is or who will buy it, just send it out! OUT! OUT!
Don't wait for a response from agents, publishers or publications or even your friends, just send the work out. This is the biggest block for a lot of writers...they want to create in a cave, but you can't. The work must be out in the world. It's like fishing, you have to have your line in the water if you are going to catch a fish! Cast your line out there with good faith and you'll land an agent, publisher, producer.....IF you keep putting your work out there.

Most writers will send it to 2 or 3 people and then WAIT. WRONG! Don't wait! Send your work out as much as humanly possible. Thomas Edison tried 10,000 attempts until he discovered the light bulb, why do we writers stop at 10 rejection letters? Hmmmm. "Next!" is my rebel call.

But always, always WRITE, WRITE, WRITE! amass those pages and while you write think OUT, OUT, OUT! write letters, send emails, write blogs......I hope I'm clear that my advice to writers is simple: WRITE!"

P.Nettie Nelson, full-figured romance author and screenwriter believes that:

"We know whether or not we are to write. If this is your calling and you are running from it. STOP. If you are writing simply because you want to get rich quick, get into hedge funds or something. Writing is a passion, a love and a longing. Writers are passionate about their words, their stories and their characters. We love writing sometimes it seems more than the one we are in love with. We long to write when we cannot, it is like an addiction to words, they must pour from us...an unending ebb and flow of gifting. Write if that is who you are. You will know. It will come."

Bretton B. Holmes, entreprenuer by day, phenomenal playwright by night responds earnestly:

"Good question. I'd have to say that the best preliminary experience for writing is digging ditches. Manual labor and sweat is what it is all about. That and going somewhere you've never been before. If what you're writing doesn't make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, then you aren't digging and you need to sweat some more. Also, practice being in the moment. It is a good idea to practice this by going outside somewhere or sitting in a coffee shop and writing down as much as you possibly can about the entirety of the environment. After a while, your subconscious will retain this information that much more effectively and you will be able to then cull only what is absolutely necessary to convey the idea or emotion or scene. If you cannot write in the midst of screaming wives and children, neighborly disputes, when driving, when sleeping, when brushing your teeth, after getting fired from your job, in the midst of no job, in the midst of worrying about how to pay your rent, your car note, etc. then you should find some other endeavor in which to use your time. If I had a nickel for all the supposed authors who were either thinking about writing a book or were merely talking about writing one, I'd have a ton of nickels at my disposal. The real writers are writing and not talking about it, so with that, I will sign off and get back to it."

Finally, my internet pal, Carolina, for over five years makes a great point:

"I tell my screen writing students to just write. The first few drafts are like throwing up anyways, gotta get the stuff out. And then you can later figure out how to make it into something. Also, write for yourself, for your soul, because you want to. Don't worry about anything else or the future."

Well, there you have it. We are all different in a very special way by God's design, therefore of course four writers will respond to the question of "how to write" differently. It is ultimately up to the individual writer to find his or her voice and bring their inner world to life and into the hands of one who will appreciate the words they have merged into a story.
In the words of P. Nettie Nelson, "You will know. It will come."

P. Nettie Nelson's Interview with SORMAG

FEATURED AUTHOR: P. Nettie Nelson
Posted by LaShaunda Labels: Featured Author, Featured Authors

The Supper Models

A sexy romantic story of true friendship between four “Rubénesque” women.They defy all the modern myths that “no man wants a big girl”. Each character brings a unique quality into the four-way relationship: compassion, determination, wisdom, and courage. Each woman has her own conflict to contend with, but they manage to find the time to support each other in the truth spirit of sisterhood.

P. Nettie Nelson, a proud native Texan, has been writing most of her life. Discarding conventional romantic fiction character stereotypes, she brings a fresh new look and body image to the romantic heroine. Her work is simplistically sexy and very indulgent. She suggests a bubble bath, red wine, dark chocolate and John Coltrane to compliment her novel.

How did you start out your writing career?

I feel like I have been writing all of my life although I wrote my first story around 8 years old. I love all facets of writing: fiction, poetry, stage, screen even journalism.

What did you learn while writing this book?

I learned that there was actually a novel inside of me all of this time. The Supper Models actually started out as a short story, just a little something I had to get out of my system. Before I knew it, I had developed characters and they just kept on growing into a full novel.

What did you hope to accomplish with this book?

I wanted to continue the tradition of true friendship and sisterhood in fiction, demonstrated best by Alice Walker and Toni Morrison. I also want to dispel the fiction myth that all lead female characters are fragile, virginal waifs waiting to be rescued. That theme is great for a historical romance, but contemporary romantic fiction no longer needs a damsel in distress situation. And if she is, her girls can help her work it out! LOL!

Which character did you have the most fun writing about?

BillieJean! She is confident, sexy and smart and she wears a 14/16. What? She has big brand new breast implants to add to her voluptuousness and she's got that little bit of freak in her; we all need that fantasy sometimes.

What has surprised you most about becoming a published author?

I am surprised by the dedication it takes to promote yourself, to get out there and get the word out. Its as if afte work, I go back to work, blogging, facebooking, looking for ways to draw readers to my work.

What aspect of writing do you love the best, and which do you hate the most?

I love when the feeling just flows and the pages are filling up and I getting all into the action and feeling it...and then the phone rings or my man needs taking care of and I have to stop!

What are three things you wish you’d known before you reached where you are now?

First I wish I had just epublished this novel at first and not faced the numerous rejections. Secondly, I wish I had more time to dedicate to promoting my writing. Finally, in the midst of my second novel, I realized now that I under-estimated the depth of the story and I am working extra hard at completing it. (hope that makes sense?)

Can you give us one do and one don’t for those aspiring to be a writer?

First time writers, its ok if you start out writing the greatest novel of all time, and it ends after five pages; call it a good short story and move on. Writing is a learning and growing process. It's about quality not quantity. Big cliche right?

What one thing about writing do you wish other non-writers would understand?

That writing is a gift, not a money maker. If you're trying to break into writing to be rich, good luck and let me know how that works out.

If you could be a character from any book you've read, who would you be?

Ruby Montana from James Baldwin's Just above my head. Her character is strong, understanding and she loves her man and has his back throughout the story. Not once does she doubt him or think him weak, even in the midst of his breaking down after loosing his brother, she just lays real good loving on him and makes him get up out of bed and face the world. Now that is one hell of a woman!

When you're not writing, what do you like to do in your spare time?

Spare time is me time. I love going to bookstores, especially used books, records and stuff. I can browse for hours.

What do you do to interact with your readers?

Being a new e-author, I started a facebook account and I am looking at other options for reaching out. Ideas are welcome!

Our theme for this month is Ebooks. Do you own an ereader and if so, what the last book you downloaded? If you don’t own an ereader, do you see yourself purchasing one in the future?

I do own an e-reader and the last download was Eric Jerome Dickey's "Tempted by Trouble"

Oprah always asks, What do you know for sure?

In the words of N'dambi, "I think for sure that what it is will be whatever it will be. Wait and you will see what will be will be." It's just that simple ladies.

Can you give us a sneak peek of your next book?

The next book, a spin-off of The Supper Models, is a ultra-erotic look into one of the very minor characters life, who will become major in your hearts!

How can readers get in contact with you? (mail, email, website)

I am on Facebook. Just drop me a line, be my friends.LOL! I would love feedback from readers! Plus I will be posting a sneak peak of the upcoming spin-off novel soon.

The Supper Models by P. Nettie Nelson

2011-04-12T22:46:00.000-05:00

W riting since the ripe old age of 8 years old, P. Nettie Nelson has finally brought her vision to her first epublished novel.

The Supper Models is the sexy romantic story of true friendship between four “Rubénesque” women. It’s “Mo'Nique” meets “Sex and the City”. The Supper Models are desirable, confident and lovable. They defy all the modern myths that “no man wants a big girl”. Each character brings a unique quality into the four-way relationship: compassion, determination, wisdom, and courage. Each woman has her own conflict to contend with, but they manage to find the time to support each other.
o Marcella Jackson, the single mother of a feisty three year old emerges from her shell to find real love with rancher Justin Brookens.
o Ty Spriggs also a single mother raising a spirited teenage daughter, must comes to terms with her impending empty nest in the midst of a budding romance with her handyman Isaiah Rhabb as well as riding herself of the tasty temptation of international business man and lover Soladeen Oleeman.
o Gail Rushmore, is a successful handbag designer and business woman, happily married but miserable lonely. Her loneliness pushes her into the arms of an unexpected lover and out of her marriage.
o And finally there is BillieJean Camden, sex goddess, temptress; full of life but short on love. She doesn’t believe in it; every man under thirty is just a conquest waiting to happen. Her reckless life style however, will teach her the greatest lesson about life and love and she will finally have to come to terms with her promiscuous ways.
