You Are a Sovereign Woman of Strength, Love, and Grace
Has Been Awarded A 5-Star Editorial Book
Review Given By Reader’s Favorite Book Magazine!

 


Reviewed by Diana Lopez for Readers’ Favorite Book Magazine

You Are a Sovereign Woman of Strength, Love, and Grace is an inspiring book that will help you
discover who you truly are…

Elizabeth Upton addresses the importance of balancing body, mind, and soul, emphasizing the need to appreciate our inner and outer beauty. She teaches us to strengthen ourselves internally and act with courage in our decisions through affirmations.
At the same time, she reminds us of the importance of assuming our responsibilities and being conscious of our actions. She also encourages us to pursue our dreams with confidence and joy.
She highlights the mind’s ability to overcome negative emotions and achieve freedom, happiness, and security. This book will motivate you to take control of your life and live fully.

I loved Elizabeth Upton’s statements because of the diversity of topics she addresses. Although her perspective is profound, her writing style is clear, direct, and positive. She talks about real problems like organizing time between family and work responsibilities. She also offers practical advice for living in the present and letting go of the past. She even explains how to devise action plans to achieve your goals. I appreciated her words for their comforting, loving, and inspiring nature.

Elizabeth gives us the strength to develop our creativity and encourages us to try new things, accepting success and failure equally because we learn from both results. You Are a Sovereign Woman of Strength, Love, and Grace is ideal for taking a moment of tranquility and getting away from daily stress with uplifting phrases to relax and recharge energies.

I highly suggest all women read this captivating book!

Her experiences run the gamete from inspiring success stories to tragic endings as she writes within her mysteries.

Kim began networking and connected with numerous homicide detectives, medical examiners, and prison officials. Her research has taken her to many places, including morgues, death row, and the occasional midnight visit to cemeteries to gain material for her novels.

Early ARC And BETA Reader Reviews

“Kim Carter, the Queen of mystery thrillers, is at the top of her game in her new novel. Die-hard fans won’t be disappointed, and new readers will be converted to her world.”
– Shaun Sinclair, author, publisher, actor, screenwriter, and executive producer

“Kim Carter does it again, sending her two senior lady private eyes out to prove age is not a deterrent to good old-fashioned sleuthing. From the first page, the author skillfully weaves her characters together with humor and imagination, resulting in a gripping but delightful mystery.”
– Barbara Daniels Dena, award-winning author of The Soul Series, a collection of short stories.


The dazzling golden sleuths, Clara and Iris, and the rest of their crew are at it again. I’m glad that Quita is back, and we can see her growth into a ‘Boss.’ The Root Of All Evil has a cleverly woven plot and a splendid touch of humor, making it the perfect escape.
Novelist Kim Carter did not disappoint us, as she’s masterfully crafted a dynamic ‘whodunit’ that will provide the thrill of uncovering hidden truths and the real suspects! This book is a silent orchestration of suspense, pulling us into a dance with the unknown. Every twist in this intricate tapestry of intrigue conceals another layer of deception, dysfunction, and love.
– Lissha Sadler, Founder of Visions and Books and Hardcore Grind Magazine

Back to Slavery by Rod Ballard
Fiction – Historical Suspense
African-American Mystery, Drama
116 Pages – Available From Amazon Books


ABOUT THE BOOK:

Royal is an outstanding high school basketball player from Atlanta, Georgia, who has a bright future ahead of him. Even though things are going great for him, he really doesn’t understand how far his people (African ancestors) have come for him to be able to be in the position he’s in. Royal didn’t care much about what his ancestors had to go through in the past. He thought slavery was pretty simple. “Just sit back, do your work in the fields, and listen to the white man. How bad could that be?”

Not caring about how tough slavery was for his ancestors, one night after he falls asleep, Royal awakens in an unfamiliar place. He wasn’t in Atlanta, Georgia, anymore. He wakes up on a slave plantation where he witnesses hangings, beatings, sufferings, and hard labor in the fields. He goes to sleep every night wishing to wake up in his bed back in Atlanta, only to wake back up in ‘slavery’ each time. Royal is horrified as he tries to survive slavery and everything that comes with it. Will Royal ever make it back home? Or will he forever be stuck back in slavery?

“Back To Slavery” Awarded 5 Stars by Reader’s Favorite Book Influencers!


Reviewed by Adanna Ora for Readers’ Favorite

As a black boy living in Atlanta, Georgia, with a wonderful family and a promising basketball career, loved by his teachers and classmates alike, Royal thought that life couldn’t be more perfect. He based his view on material things and didn’t stop to appreciate that life hadn’t always been like that for his people. Anytime he was reminded of his privileges, especially considering what his ancestors had been through in earlier times, slaving away for their white masters, he brushed it aside. However, a day came when he experienced something that changed his life and his perspective forever. What could that be, and what did he experience? Back to Slavery by Rod Ballard is a drama that reviews black history and pinpoints several lessons that can be learned from it.

Back to Slavery has two settings, relating to both historical and modern times. Each comes with a specific language and style, giving the reader a different experience and the ability to enjoy the author’s rich talent for writing. There is also abundant use of suspense to keep readers longing for more and keeping them on their toes the whole time. I love the sense of mystery that surrounds certain events in the story.

Above all, the moral lessons are enormous. It helps humans, especially black Americans, to be aware of their history and know the price their ancestors paid for them to be where they are at the moment. It also preaches the equality of races and the need for everyone to live in peace, irrespective of their race or color. The book helps us to be grateful for what we have now and be empathetic toward the plight of others who are not as privileged as we are. I enjoyed reading this amazing work from Rod Ballard, and I hope that others appreciate it as much as I did. I highly suggest everyone read it!
