Ice stepped out of the brownstone office and into the bright sunlight. He pulled off his sunglasses and tucked them into the left breast pocket of his navy Armani suit. He turned his face to the sun, and closed his eyes. His head snapped toward the sound. An elderly man, 70ish, with white hair and wide, frightened eyes, stood pointing a shaking, bony finger at him. 8220;It’s you. I know it’s you.”. 8220;Call 911,” he said. 8220;You did all that you could.”. 8220;What the hell did you do that for? 8220;I ...

Lena had always loved the rain. Showers at any time were an invitation to kick off her shoes, run outside, and dance. So she didn’t try to escape the sudden, torrential downpour, though lightning lit the black sky and thunder shook her bones. She stood perfectly still until her t-shirt was drenched and her shivering could have been from the cold. She wished it would rain forever. By Shelli Proffitt Howells.

She Stood for Freedom by Loki Mulholland. By Shelli Proffitt Howells. She Stood for Freedom by Loki Mulholland. I think this is a great and important book. Too often, I believe, we view the history of Civil Rights as something that belongs to African Americans. This book reminds us that the battle for Civil Rights lifted us all. This is an excellent book for teachers, homeschoolers, and parents to add to their libraries. Beauty and the Clockwork Beast. By Shelli Proffitt Howells. Lord Miles himself is cl...

So I was real surprised when the man pointed at me. I don’t know, just something about him didn’t strike me as mean. If Miss Kitty seemed surprised, too, she didn’t show it, although Miss Alice had to stifle a gasp. Miss Kitty beckoned me, and I led the way upstairs, swaying my hips real nice for the fellow, and meaning it this time. 8220;Do you ever get…people… who just want to talk? 8221; he asked. Well, yeah, that was something that happened to ugly whores, too. I felt a little deflated. 8220;He spent...

No more than sixteen, she guessed. He knelt before her, his fingers laced behind his head, his big, scared eyes flicking from her to the gun she aimed at him. 8220;You come into my house? 8221; she said. “My house? It ain’t bad enough you be disrespecting me every day on the streets, you have to come into my house? His lip quivered. Beads of sweat formed on his brow. His eyes watered, and he squeezed them shut to keep the tears back, then opened them again in panic. She took a step closer to him. He star...
