New excerpt: Chapter one


The blood was all over the rug, it was a rainy day that May evening.  I could still here the loud 
shots as I layed on the ground, knocked unconscious.   As I tried to open up my eyes, I tried to 
recall.  what had led me to this moment. 
Immediately, I felt my thoughts getting away with me.  
 “ My Keyla, Please baby girl, be okay” !    
Suddenly, I could not breath, “ Oh I thought to myself it finally has happened!   As I started to try 
and open my eyes, I heard and officer’s voice calling me. 
At first all I heard was really muffled, for a second there I thought I was going deaf. 
Then my thoughts went back to earlier in the evening. 
“ Sadie, Please, calm down! Please put the gun down”!
   I thought to myself what was going on, am I dreaming, is this for real, what happened?   I kept 
trying to scream, but I felt so weak.  
“ Help me! Help me! please “ Help me”!
 “ Sadie, please, please, stop this, “ I am begging you”!
Mam!, Mam!,  called a man’s voice. 
“ Can you hear me, mam, the man, called out to her once again. 
“ Ah, yes I said trying to stay calm.   
“Good, he said in a calming tone. 
  As he continued speaking, I was in and out of consciousness.    
  I thought of happier times.   I began to see my daughter’s precious face and how happy she 
made me.   However, it was then that I began to gain this horrible feeling inside of me.

Excerpt : John Marshall Law School

The day finally arrived.  I  was going to be attending John Marshall Law School in Atlanta.    This was one of the proudest moments of my father’s life.   He was absolutely thrilled, that his  only child, a daughter had been accepted.    This made my father very happy and he just thought  it was so poetic, that I would soon be a member of such an elite group as he was.  After all, my father Jackson Martin had been an alumni of John Marshall Law School and  maintained a perfect 4.0 gpa and had been one of the top in his class.   He always wanted  to keep his legacy going and now all eyes were on me.    I was excited in being able to finally start at John Marshall so that I could finally have my  freedom or so I thought. You see my father did not like the fact that I had chosen to live with my boyfriend Dante  Caryle.  He was furious and always had his reservations about our relationship.   To say that my father and I were at a crossroads

Chapter 5 HIdden Truths

   It was a Monday Morning that mid date in November.   Mr. Charles Mason, District  attorney for the city of Raleigh in the state of North Carolina was informed he would be  taking the case to court beginning November 15, 2010.   He was relieved to begin on  this case.   Since the murder investigation had begun in May, all of the case was not  processed and ready for trial until late September. Since the criminal investigation did  not fully wrap up until late August.  There were many factors that were involved in this  investigation.  However it was mostly due in part to the long psychiatric evaluations  done to Mrs. Sadie Martin Carlyle and the fact that Dante’s parents fought to make sure  the trial was not moved to Atlanta Georgia were Sadie was born and raised.   This was  a very hard time for the Carlyle’s.   They were shocked at all that had transpired since  their only son’s death.  They both felt that the supposed victim and their for

Before We say I do by Author Emerald Barnes Review

Author Barnes is able to capture the big day approaching for Madison and Chase. It is the big day of their wedding and just when you thought you has seen the last of Zach. He is there to support his friends but mainly Chase and the relationship that has been broken between him and his father. Chase's father has just arrived and Zach is trying to help them both make a fresh start. Meanwhile Madison wants everything to work out for her future husband and love. This was a beautiful YA story full of love, emotion and faith. Emerald Barnes has done it again! It was amazing.  I must add I read the first version of this book and I am so in love with this new one.   I think it only enhanced on the story so much more.    My Rating was 5 stars!
