GaptoothDiva Radio – Interview w/ Author Marvin D. Wilson of “Beware of The Devil’s Hug” Tonight at 9pm EST.

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 3 Comments

Marvin Wilson - Beware of the Devils Hug featured on GaptoothDiva RadioMarvin D. Wilson has had many rich life experiences, from Hippie Rock, Roll musician, to nightclub entertainer, to Zen student, and then ordained Buddhist minister. He was a carpenter, a small business owner, a network marketer, a sales trainer, a skilled trade’s instructor and adult education teacher, a public speaker and motivational coach, and now in his chosen “golden years” career, a writer and multi-published author with the self-proclaimed, “audacity to write novels.” He is also a professional editor, on staff with All Things That Matter Press and taking freelance projects as well.

Wilson describes his spiritual path as one who is a non-religious, dogma-free, maverick spiritualist Christian, with a strong bent toward Zen, Taoism, and the Law of Attraction, and who believes in the Oneness of all creation and all paths leading to re-awakening to the One. He is the proud father of three grown children and seven (and counting) grandchildren, and enjoys organic gardening as well as listening to, writing, performing and recording music—when not writing, travelling, and marketing his books.

Marvin Wilson - Beware of the Devils Hug featured on GaptoothDiva RadioMarvin writes primarily in the spiritual/inspirational genre, but likes to pen “cross-over” novels that appeal to a wide audience. His books are uplifting, sometimes weighty, oftentimes humorous, abidingly thought provoking, meant to instil and create passion and emotion, more than occasionally provocative to the point of controversial, and always “tell it like it is”, real world, no punches pulled writing. He likes to deliver spiritual messages in a non-preachy, often irreverent, sometimes sexy and ribald way, through the medium of an entertaining story.

“101 Things I Hate About Your House”

In 101 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOUR HOUSE: A Premier Designer Takes You on a  Room-by-Room Tour to Transform Your Home from Faux to Fabulous (Health Communications, Inc. March 2011), nationally renowned interior designer, James Swan shows readers how they can feel right at home in their house. After twenty years of working at the highest echelons of the design industry, Swan has seen it all and has observed virtually every mistake homeowners make. Throughout his career he’s learned this: We all make design mistakes and every house is a growing, evolving entity that asks  for attention, care, and consistent nourishment. Our living space provides a rich tapestry of opportunities, experiences, and memories in the making. 101 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOUR HOUSE teaches readers (and their houseguests) to truly enjoy the place they call home.  Swan provides readers with the basic principles they need to create a beautiful and gracious living space. Regardless of the state of their estate—be it massive or minuscule—or a person’s Style IQ, the principles of gracious living outlined in 101 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOUR HOUSE delivers a framework for a more beautiful and gracious home. This book is for all readers, regardless of whether their house is inspired by an English cottage, a French farmhouse, an Italian palazzo, or last month’s Design Within Reach catalogue — or if they have a lot of money to spend or very little. What does matter is that readers genuinely want to experience their home in a more beautiful way and that they are prepared to make easy, low-cost fixes to common mistakes. 101 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOUR HOUSE starts at the street, moves through the front door, and doesn’t stop until it has taken a peek into every room of  the house. Swan numbers the “101 Things” that make up this book so readers can easily reference items they find helpful, painful, or just too funny to forget, including the following:

#1. Dreary Little Mess: Nothing screams “dreary little mess” quite like
a front door masquerading as last winter’s snow tires. Clean it up. Wipe
it down. Patch it, paint it, stain it, wax it, but just get the door to
your home speaking a civilized language that is perfectly synchronized
with the impression you want to make.

#71. Age-Appropriate Design: Mom and Dad, it’s time to get over your
heels dragging on the subject of the kids growing up before your very
eyes. They will grow whether you want them to or not, so make the best of
a maturing problem and match their chronological age with the furnishings
in their rooms. A teenager (13 and older) should be sleeping in a double
bed, not in a childish twin. The progression from twin to double is a rite
of passage. Make it memorable for your young lady or gentleman.

#25. A Room without a Soul: If the gods of decorating are to be found
lurking in the details of your home, what do your details say? Take a
critical look at the small things that fill your table tops and shelves.
Do they tell a beautiful story, the story you want told? If not, then it’s
time to edit and rewrite your story.

#83. A Closet Case: Follow these three easy steps and win big in the
game of small closets. One: edit out things you’ve not touched in more
than nine months. Two: divide and win. Divide your wardrobe by season and,
three: high and low. Extra storage can be found high on shelves and
beneath beds.

#15. Soap Soup: Toss the gooey, goopy bar of soap and the dish too.
Upgrade your powder room with this simple A-list trick; nothing says
luxury like a beautiful bottle of spa-style hand soap and a small tray
displaying its matching wrapped bar soap. You’ve just elevated a mundane
moment and made it memorable.

#8. Smelling a rat: Beside the look of the house, a homeowner should
consider another layer of impression with which to astonish and astound
unwitting guests…take a deep breath and try not to choke on the aroma of
musty wet dogs, acrid cat boxes, marinating gym clothes, and damp, moldy
laundry. To put it succinctly: Buy a candle.

Swan also offers top ideas to make the living room ready for company — today; quick, practical projects to add pizzazz to anyone’s dining; valuable tips to make small spaces multifunctional, secrets to creating a bedroom sanctuary (tip: lose the TV!), and much more. Swan has partnered with veteran journalist Carol Beggy and award-winning set designer Stanley A. Meyer in 101 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOUR HOUSE to create a dazzlingly illustrated road map for navigating the subjective world of home design
and decoration.
Swan’s “take-no-prisoners” approach to home design offers fresh, upbeat and spot-on observations. Swan says, “Here it is, the ‘Cliffs Notes’ for a more beautiful home. Quibble if you must about your own personal style and artistic vision; or sit quietly by, knowing that you’ve single-handedly raised the bar for the stylishly impaired. It matters not.
There is room for all.” When the goal is to elevate our living experience from the ordinary to the exceptional, when we’ve taken steps to educate ourselves away from the faux pas and toward the fabulous, then we are well on our way to a more beautiful, gracious way of life. The plan that 101 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOUR HOUSE offers is simple: for readers to laugh, learn, and, most important, come to love their home as they’ve never loved it before. Now that’s beautiful.

GaptoothDiva Radio – 16 Universal Principles Every Woman Needs to Know, Interview with Patricia Davis Author of “The Diva Doctrine” Tonight 4/12 at 9pm

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 5 Comments

“The only thing you should be faking is confidence.”

Author Patricia V. Davis posted that piece of advice along with 15 others on her popular blog in the hopes that they’d help one of her 20-something readers save the precious time she was wasting by torturing herself needlessly, something too many young women do.

That first simple post hit a nerve; within a week it turned into an internet phenomenon – reposted by hundreds of other blogs and read by thousands. That massive response led to the creation of Patricia’s inspirational, yet hilarious and down-to-earth book. The Diva Doctrine: 16 Universal Principles Every Woman Needs to Know is the antidote to youth being “wasted on the young”, and makes a great stocking stuffer, Mother’s Day gift, or graduation gift.

“Patricia V. Davis is the ultimate diva! Wise and witty, she enlightens the rest of us on how to remain true to ourselves and how to shine in a world that needs her beacons of hope like never before. Every young woman should have a copy of THE DIVA DOCTRINE.”

~ New York Times Bestselling Author, Brenda Novak

Patricia V. Davis’s aim is to leave her spot of the world just a little bit better than it was before she got there. She focuses on that through her writing, teaching, philanthropic work, and the promoting of other people who she believes have that same goal.

Patricia is the author of the award-winning Harlot’s Sauce: A Memoir of Food, Family, Love, Loss and Greece, and The Diva Doctrine: 16 Universal Principles Every Woman Needs to Know. She has been called a “Renaissance Woman” by Carine Nadel in The Orange County Register for her writing. As founder and editor-in-chief of the non-partisan HS Radio e-magazine and podcast, Patricia loves encouraging new writers and interviewing other “Renaissance people”, such as Neal deGrasse Tyson, James Redford, Jane Friedman, and more. She holds a Master’s Degree in Creative Writing and Education, and has taught, spoken, read, and conducted seminars extensively in various venues and schools throughout the US and overseas. Patricia was named one of Top 25 Mentors for Young Women and Girls 2010, by the Hot Mommas Project. Her latest work, The Diva Doctrine, is an extension of the guidance and support she hopes to give to women.

Mack Mama “Tales of the Original Bad Girl” Autobiography       

 “I wrote my autobiography in hopes of reaching some wild teen that may be going through what I went through….
I tell my story not to glorify my transgressions but to discourage the youth of today that may identify with my situation not to go down the same road I took to my destruction…
…If my story can help save a life then I am willing to bare my soul….. I tell my story through music that’s why it was important to include the soundtrack with my book…
I want my memoirs to be used as a case study to hopefully fix and understand the social problems that plague many youths growing up in urban cities around the world.
My music and my story is my testimony listen to me and read with an open mind and heart. This is the story of the person behind Mack Mama the entertainer this is the story of Natoka Dora Williams.” – Mack Mama

The eBook download includes the full Autobiography and 16 additional pages of color photos.  

After doing 13 years in prison she decided to share her life story in hopes of reaching the youth that may be pursuing the wrong paths in life. She lost her mother when she was sixteen at the early age of thirty six from the Aids Virus. This caused her to run to the streets with a vengeance.

She turned into a very bad girl shooting four people and committing every crime imaginable. She suffered from domestic abuse from her spouse who was nine years her senior and inevitable became the abuser in her relationships with women.

She discovered her musical talents while serving time on her first bid and pursued her career although she created her own road blocks by not giving up her hustling lifestyle. Her last prison stint changed her life and started her on her road to redemption. Her autobiography is indeed a page turner and a revelation about the entertainer’s tumultuous life.

GaptoothDiva Radio – How Mentoring and Motivation Moves Young Black Men From Prison to Purposeful Lives. Interview w/ The Authors of Brother to Brother: Motivation for Young African-American Men Tonight 1/11 @ 9pm

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 2 Comments

Whether or not you believe that there are more black men in prison than in college, depends on who is doing the counting. The truth is, regardless of the amount of men in jail vs. an institution of higher learning, the country could definitely use more mentors who are willing to dedicate their time to change. Often times we are so preoccupied by our busy schedules and our own ambitions that we fail to realize how many young people out there who are lost, socially, mentally and emotionally. How do we take steps to promote positive ambitions and assist in guiding our future generations to purposeful living. GaptoothDiva speaks to the Authors of Brother to Brother: Motivation for Young African- American Men, to learn how they plan to create change and make a difference in their community and beyond.

Brother to Brother: Motivation for Young African- American Men, in conjunction with Xlibris Publishing, is pleased to announce the release of their new and highly-anticipated book. Authored by Lloyd Young, Jr. and his three sons, Lloyd A. Young, Keon Young and Sean Young, Brother to Brother: Motivation for Young African-American Men is the family’s first major release that is already garnering top-tier support. The unique partnership is quickly setting a new standard for inspirational and motivational products geared toward ethnic communities that have been traditionally underrepresented.

About the Authors:

Who hasn’t been caught between Family and Drama? Interview w/ Author Jennifer Luckett Tonight 12/21 @ 9pm

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a Comment

Who hasn’t been faced with the challenges of wanting to help your family member who always seems to have a hold on life’s drama. How far will you go to see that person free from the enemies hold; or will the drama be so thick, it’ll force you to let go. GaptoothDiva talks candidly with Author Jennifer Luckett about the inspiration behind the riveting book, Caught In The Middle.

          

 

          

“Drama, drama and more drama! Caught in the middle is action packed, heartfelt and sure to pull the readers within the pages!” —Endy, Author of In My Hood I, II & III

JENNIFER LUCKETT

“A deep in the Dirty South tale that grips you like the Jaws of Life and holds you until the very end.” —Cash, Author of the street certified classic Trust No Man 1 & 2
Meet Lakeeysha Jackson, an attractive, young, hair salon owner whose mother, Michelle Williams, is released from prison after an eight-year prison sentence. Michelle reunites with her ex-boyfriend, Antonio “Tony” Dixon, and realizes that Tony’s addictive lifestyle is no longer the life she wants to live and gets involved with Officer John Shelby. Will Michelle allow her demons to interfere with her newfound love and happiness?

Another Sneak Peak At The New GaptoothDiva Book Dropping in 2011

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a Comment

Here is another snippet from the much anticipated GaptoothDiva book dropping next year. This book is probably going to be the most revealing project I’ve ever done, which is why it’s taking me so long. It’s not enough to claim to be all knowledgeable about certain aspects of life, then show no proof of how you concocted your theories. I don’t believe in teaching without providing a visual message that people can apply to their own lives. What you read is straight up real talk, I’m the same person on and off the internet. I mean what I say and I’m struggling everyday to not only motivate others but also myself. I’m not perfect, anybody can attest to saying that at one time or another. However I don’t pretend to be ever. This book that is expected to come out, is an open admission to my many imperfections and how I’m learning from them, adapting to them, and always inspired by them. My main goal for this book is for everyone to see how easy it is to do the same. Life may be full of trials and struggles, but it’s your job to make everyday look so damn easy.

    

         

 

Excerpt from the NEW GaptoothDiva book, expected release 2011

“ I could sit here and write about all my life experiences and then tell my readers don’t do what I’ve done, but what’s the fun in that? It’s not enough to list general issues that I’ve encountered and add poems to them. It’s not enough to put poems into a book and pray that the person reading this can figure it all out. I have to release those proverbial demons that used to lurk in the back of my mind in order to progress in my life and at the same time explain what I’ve gained from each experience. Some feelings might be hurt from this. Some people may stop speaking to me altogether and secretly pray I don’t succeed based off what you are about to read. However, that’s the point of this entire project. They say “Those that matter don’t mind, and those that mind don’t matter”, and I’m about to put that to the test.

All my life, I’ve been concerned about what people thought about me. I was scared to be too gentle and too kind, for fear of being taken advantage of. I was scared of being too aggressive and demanding for fear of being considered a bitch or arrogant. I dressed and behaved a certain way depending on who I was around, because I wanted to be liked. Every idea and every thought was calculated in order to avoid anyone’s disapproval, whether I respected them or not. I never did anything I wanted to do, because of other people’s reactions…until now.

My hope is that when people read this, they somehow develop the confidence that I lacked a few years ago, to embark on the things that bring happiness into their lives, regardless of what people think. I want people to learn that even the hardest people had some soft spots in life, or even the nicest people went through hard times. I’m happier now in my life, but a few years ago it was insanity. Everyone from my family, my friends, to complete strangers could feed off my desire to be liked. I had no God, people were my God, and that is no way to live. I had no faith that I was put here for a reason, or that I even served a purpose at all. If a close friend of mine told me they didn’t like my hair, I would change it. If my mother told me she didn’t like my job, I would quit. It took one person to not appreciate any aspect of me, and I would crumble into less than nothing. Did I say it was insanity?

When I found God, I was saved. Before I even raised my hand in that church service to give up all my old ways and profess my love for the Lord in front of everyone, I felt I was saved. I was saved because I decided right then and there that the only one I should live for was God, not man. I decided that the only conversation that should make me change anything about myself, is the conversation I have with God. Some seriously church going worshippers may disagree, but when someone pointed out God and told me how to talk to him, I was hooked. I didn’t need to register or sign up for any committees, I didn’t need to put my name on a list of new members, or anything. I felt like a changed person when I prayed for the first time and felt a presence on my shoulder pulling me up. It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and I could finally breathe.

I’ve been through some stuff in my life. Period. The type of life I led, it’s amazing that I’m not dead, in jail, or strung-out on drugs. It wasn’t me that got me through it, it was all God. What I take from those experiences differ from case to case, but the one thing that remains constant is that every single time I was saved God was the cause. I was saved from physical abuse, mental abuse, I was saved from self-mutilation and self-destruction, I was saved from drugs and sex, I was saved from death. With all the saving, I figured there had to be something I am supposed to do. There is a reason why God spared me and put me in arenas where I could possibly do something for another lost person. I don’t take that lightly at all. I am not perfect in any shape or form, and I still make mistakes just like any human being with a pulse, but what and how I feel about myself has changed. The value I put on my life back then compared to now, has quadrupled and multiplied. My standards have changed, my goals have changed, everything has been geared and forwarded to a much more positive place. I look back at how I used be and sometimes regret all that wasted time and effort on trying to be what I wasn’t destined to be. Now that I’ve found my purpose and that confidence that was buried so deep, I’m a better version of myself.

If you are reading this, I want you to gain something. I want you to gain a better understanding of me, of life and love, but most importantly of yourself and what you are doing with your time on earth. I almost died a total of six times, yes six times, and the last time was enough to wake me up. I guess I’m hard-headed (laugh), but even if it was once, you never know if you’ll get those three extra chances that I had. Life is too short to not be yourself, to not love yourself, and to not strive for your dreams, not matter how big or how small. I came up with the name GaptoothDiva, because that is what I am. I am a diva who struts every time she walks, who loves to get dolled up and fly, and demands attention everywhere. I just happen to have a very noticeable gap in my teeth, which I learned to accept and use to benefit me. You’ll never forget my face and now you’ll never forget my story.”

GaptoothDiva Radio – How Much Do You Know About Polygamy In America? Interview with Author Susanna Barlow of the personal Memoir “What Peace There May Be” Tonight 12/1 @ 9pm

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a Comment

Polygamy In America

Susanna is the 23rd child of 46 children, the quintessential middle child. Growing up in a fundamentalist religious home shaped her life, her values, and her views on literally everything. Although she is no longer affiliated with any polygamous group on a religious level she is surrounded by family and friends who are practicing polygamists.

She is currently working on her second memoir detailing her marriage within the polygamous culture and what motivated her to leave. Another important theme in the second book is the impact of abuse on relationships and the ability to parent.

Susanna lives in Bluffdale Utah with her husband, six children and their dog.

Author’s Note

“I was born to write this book. It is as if all the events of my life culminated to the moment I began writing it. From that point my life has sprung forward in directions I could never have anticipated and has brought me blessings I could only appreciate from this vantage point of my life. While it seems from the viewpoint of the past that my life was filled with heartache and tragedy from where I stand today I see it for the gift that it was. It was a moment in my life, it isn’t my life. I needed to write the book in order to see it differently. I became different by writing it.

That is not to say it wasn’t a difficult task to write the book. I traveled deep into the emotional pain of my past and turned over every rock and looked at every violation as if it were happening all over again. It was like creating an earthquake in a major metropolis. Buildings crashed, bridges collapsed and when I was finished my life was in crumbles. It was out of these crumbles that I reconstructed a new life. The life I was meant to create, just as I was meant to be the one that dismantled the old. In the end, I lived the life I was given so that I could write about it and in some way serve the world. In writing the book, I let the rotting parts of myself die and I asked the book to carry the emotional truth that my body could no longer hold.

I will write many books but this one will always be the threshold that I had to cross in order to write anything at all. It opened my mouth. It freed me. “

Susan Barlow

Susanna has been a keynote speaker for an abuse recovery group in Portland Oregon and most recently spoke at The Successful Mothering Convention. Ms. Barlow has been contacted by local polygamy groups one of them” Holding Out Help” and was asked to be in their DVD which is going out to churches and schools. In addition Susanna Barlow has been interviewed on Good Things Utah, across the nation on radio as well as Canada. Her book is getting into libraries in different states and also seen in Publishers Weekly.

We are aware her book is in other countries, South Africa, Pakistan, Turkey and Australia…those are ones we know of. National Geographic’s cover story for February “Polygamy in America” and also aired a documentary “Inside Polygamy: Life in Bountiful.” Susanna has family members in both areas featured in the article Colorado City and the documentary filmed in Bountiful Canada.

Susanna Barlow’s Memoir “What Peace There May Be”… Finalist in the Prestigious 2010 Indie Excellence Awards in the Memoir Category.

Young Susanna didn’t know anything other than the family environment that was created for her; a system without regard for society or man’s laws. Raised in a sequestered home in a busy city neighborhood, everything beyond the front gate was off-limits.

The isolation proved to be a breeding ground for abuse and Susanna struggled to reconcile her desire to escape and her need to belong. The book recounts six critical years of Susanna’s youth during which she struggled to come to terms with the conditions of her life.

This coming of age story is as much a testament to survival as it is to surrender. Pushed to the limits of her coping abilities, Susanna tried everything she could think of to bring about the peace that always seemed out of reach.

In an impulsive moment and an act of daring, she contacted a newspaper journalist and found herself in a predicament that she never before considered. That decision became the impetus that propelled her to where she wanted to be and to finally find personal peace.

Although Ms. Barlow is no longer affiliated with any polygamous group on a religious level, she is surrounded by family and friends who are practicing polygamists. She says, “Although I suffered abuse at the hands of one of “the mothers”, I currently know many decent people who are living this lifestyle.”

Susanna Barlow is currently working on her second book. Ms. Barlow has been interviewed across the United States and Canada on radio, Good Things Utah, Keynote Speaker in Portland Oregon for an abuse recovery group, book clubs, approached by different polygamy groups helping transition those who have left. Susanna is married and the mother of six children, writer, author, painter, teacher and also has written plays. Her book is available at The King’s English, Barnes and Noble and Amazon. You can order her book or contact Susanna on her website for speaking or asking questions. You also may join as a fan on her face book author site.

Poem “Will Not Be Average” from GaptoothDiva’s Upcoming Book Release. Sneak Peak!!

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 1 Comment

Here is a poem from my upcoming book, expected to drop next year. I’m excited and can’t wait for you all to read it. I think it will be not only inspirational but may provide a candid insight of some of the things that I have experienced that I chose to learn and gain from, not dwell on and allow to be obstacles. Shout out to all of you who inspired me to go farther in my career and supported me, even when I didn’t quite support myself.

This poem is the epitome of that breakthrough moment when you say, I’m not trying to be like anyone else anymore. I want to get to my top, to my limitless sky. This was my breakthrough moment. I actually said these words to myself.

Will Not Be Average

Failure is an option that I won’t accept

I only get one life to live, so I live with no regrets

Go hard or go home has always been my model

Life’s not a scratch ticket and this is not the lotto

You can’t play a number just because you think you got it

Running off of luck instead of using logic

Pain and the struggle your body just absorbs it

Signs of a breakthrough but you’ll can just ignore it

Content and satisfied, what you living is just boring

Until you’re sick of living and you sick so you nausaus

Chances continue coming, but your minds keep on pausing

Confusing fear of success as you way being cautious

I will not be average

I will not be average

My hustle is so savage

I’m going after everything, what I touch turns to magic

My hugs turn to love and I make money out of cabbage

It’s a habit, I refuse to be plastic

A Barbie and I am hardly

Bruised up with scarred knees

Even in a dark scene, I dream and I am godly

I’m anointed in the belief that what I believe

I will achieve

With no sight I will see, with no air I will breathe

My faith takes over when life gets a hold of me

I don’t just rebuke my enemies, I actually force them to leave

With an abuse, I’m profuse

It’s the truth I can’t mask it

I throw up the deuces

Cause I refuse to be average

Hating on the next person for what I ain’t got

Their progress reminding me that I ain’t hot

I gotta get mine

Trying to go places that I can’t find

Beating my own obstacles to the race line

Got so much to do that I hate time

Smiling through every tear when I ain’t fine

And even when I’m forces to, I ain’t lying

I’m speeding in my own lane with no brake signs

And my goal is to rattle brains and to shake spines

I’m laughing in the dark, when you hear that they crying

No mo excuses, your just surviving while they trying

The truth is the battles yours today and it ain’t mine

Cause I have lived the life of a savage

Filled with less blessings, just drastic

And instead of playing the card of the tragic

I decided…

I will not be average

Do you recall you first sexual experience? How did your first time affect you? Interview w/ Authors Kimberley Johnson & Ann Werner of The Virgin Diaries 10/28 @ 9pm

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a Comment

How many of us remember our first sexual experience, whether good or bad, and think about specific moments we would either change or do again if we could? A first time sexual experience is a momentous occasions in life, but should be taken seriously due to risk of disease and/or pregnancy. If provided the opportunity to counsel a person who is considering losing their virginity, what would you say? People of all ages are interested in how others tackled their first time and how it made them feel physically and emotionally. Many people don’t realize that whether your first time was beautiful, awkward, horrible, or sad, you can mentor someone, and help them avoid some of the mistakes made by so many others. GaptoothDiva talks with the Authors of The Virgin Diaries, discussing how this book could be utilized as a tool to bring some comfort to anyone’s first time.

Hundreds of years of collective experience answer the questions every virgin has. THE VIRGIN DIARIES is a book about sex that really isn’t about sex at all. Rather, it’s about the feelings associated with that first time: wondering about it, worrying about it, the expectations, the surprises and the disappointments. Within these pages are the recollections of seventy-two people, young and old, gay and straight, who responded to the call for answers. This candid collection of stories provides a unique opportunity to be a fly on the wall. There is no commentary. The stories stand on their own, allowing the reader to form his or her own conclusions. Whether you are a virgin and desire to make an informed decision, a parent faced with “the talk” or are interested in reading detailed accounts of one of life’s most personal experiences, THE VIRGIN DIARIES offers confidential insights and illustrates the commonalities we all share: our hopes, dreams, fears and insecurities. It shows that we are all human and therefore, all connected.

Kimberley A. Johnson and Ann Werner are a mother/daughter writing team. Both women worked on the popular daytime drama Days of Our Lives for over seven years. In 2004, Kimberley came up with the idea for The Virgin Diaries and over a period of time, Ann came on board.

Ann writes fiction and has book out titled The People Next Door.

Both women started the company Ark Stories to continue making books written by John and Jane Q. Public, exploring the human experience. The Virgin Diaries was created originally for virgins to make informed decisions about sex as well as for parents who want to help educate their kids. The pair have been pleasantly surprised to find that men and women forty-five and up are really connecting to the stories.

GaptoothDiva Radio – How Educated Are You About Safe Sex? Interview w/ Dangerous Lee Activist & Author of Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a Comment
GaptoothDiva discusses safe sex and erotica with Author & Activist Dangerous Lee. The author of what some have described as “a serious REAL TALK novel about sex millennium style!”
 
Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down has Six Erotic Tales of Safe Sex Titles:
The Safe Sex Kit
Past Life Blues
Self Love and Pain
Elderly and Edible
An Honest Ho
Dating Dangerous Lee
Also includes: 
HIV Fact/HIV Fiction Definitions
 
 
About the Author
Dangerous Lee lives in Burton, Michigan with her daughter. She works part time as a Community Health Advocate and Testing Counselor with Wellness AIDS Services, Inc. of Flint, Michigan. When she is not writing or being an HIV activist, Dangerous currently keeps herself busy with small acting projects and abstract painting.

Dangerous Lee is a certified Community Health Advocate and HIV Testing Counselor at Wellness AIDS Services, Inc. of Flint, Michigan. She lives in Burton, Michigan with her daughter.

African Americans have the highest HIV infection rates in the United States. African Americans only make up 12% of the population, but almost half of the new HIV cases are African Americans. These numbers are very disproportionate and because HIV is such a taboo subject in the African American community many people are not getting the message.

International AIDS Activist, Hydeia Broadbent, shared her thoughts after reading “The Safe Sex Kit”; “I think it will help more people think about HIV/AIDS and STDs in their sexual relationships and also think about practicing safer sexual activities.”

HIV education and prevention is not only Dangerous Lee’s job, it is also her passion. Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down combines her passion for HIV prevention with her passion for the written word. Dangerous Lee is also an actress, internet radio personality, painter, and an activist for child sex abuse.

Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down was released March 15, 2010 and can be purchased through Create Space.

Please visit http://www.pantiesupskirtdown.com for book updates and visit http://www.dangerouslee.biz to see what Dangerous is up to next

“Working in HIV prevention I have learned a lot and I have had the pleasure of sharing my knowledge with thousands of people. With this book I want to reach millions more, not simply for fame and fortune but because millions of people lack the need-to-know information contained in the pages of this book.

People aged 13-24 have the highest new HIV infection rates and African Americans and Latinos have the highest infection rates in the United States. I equate a huge chunk of this problem with the lack of prevention education and proper sex education in our schools.

Abstinence only programs do us no good. Abstinence is fine, but we must also educate ourselves and our babies with the proper information so that when they’re ready to get busy they can do it safely.

We must keep it real when we discuss sex and inside the pages of “Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down” I get real nasty, real sexy, real deep, and speak the real truth about HIV.”
