My Stars Are Still Shining : Amina Warsuma
Amina has succeeded in authoring an inspirational memoir about her life as an international fashion model whose life has influenced so many others.
Her journey from the tough streets of Harlem to the high-fashion runways of Paris and New York is remarkable. Companions on Amina’s journey include fashion-world luminaries, movie stars, and renown artist. Quite a contrast with her life as a physically and psychologically abused child.
Amina Warsuma’s new memoir offers readers a glimpse of some of the world’s most renowned artists and designers. And even while she was part of such an illustrious crowd, Warsuma learned that the most important path was her own.
Warsuma shares stories of everyone she’s met—from Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor to Truman Capote and Karl Lagerfeld. Each one had a unique spirit, and each had something to teach her about never giving up and never backing down. These lessons became the stars she followed to her destiny.

Link, an adventuresome, formless entity gets fascinated with Earth during his explorations of other worlds from his non-physical realm, Altura.
However, because he is formless, he can observe but cannot truly experience what it is to be physical. He wants to have this experience. That desire grows and eventually he chooses to trade his non-physical state, to become human.
Link’s discovery of his physical condition following his transfer to Earth takes him through a series of shocks, as he uncovers up close and personal, the alienation from the whole that is the human condition and the psychic and physical heaviness of being human.
It is in this state of self-discovery that Dax, a curious, lovable 12-year old boy, and the village favorite, comes upon Link (the new human) naked.
The first of many conversations unfolds in which Dax, along with the reader, gets acquainted with the higher consciousness of Link’s non-physical, timeless world which is a reflection of the true home, that we have long forgotten, caught up as we are in the distractions and conflicts of life on Planet Earth.
Through Dax and his grandmother, Link is introduced to the village, and there he begins his journey of understanding the complicated nuances of the human condition, while attempting to create a link to and remembrance of that other world that we have long left behind.

Dark Knights : Robert L. Bryan
Police Officers are the modern-day embodiment of medieval knights, going to work each day with a noble cause to protect and serve society.
The profession requires cops to see people at their worst. They see death, tragedy, crime, and despair on a daily basis.
The very nature of the tasks cops perform and the things cops see skews their sense of humor. Sometimes, a sense of humor is the only defense mechanism in a police officer’s tool box. Stripped of the ability to laugh, or forced to be politically correct in a politically incorrect work environment can be hazardous to one’s health. Coping becomes an essential component of a police officer’s arsenal.
One of the primary coping mechanisms utilized by cops is humor. A cop can find something funny about almost anything, regardless of how tragic the circumstances. Dark humor involves making light of a serious, disturbing or taboo subject matter. It is sometimes viewed as morbid, cruel, offensive, and graphic in nature and is yet, still found funny.
This is the story of the author’s twenty-year police career with the New York City Transit Police and NYPD as he worked with some of New York City’s darkest knights – those cops who did and said the funniest things under the most difficult circumstances.
C-Case by Robert L. Bryan is also on Whizbuzz Books.
