New Excerpt: Revised

 Prologue: 
“ Sadie why are you acting up?  Why are you trembling?”, please let 
me help you”! 
  The room got pitched dark and Sadie felt the room begin to spin rapidly.  
“ Stay away from me Dante!,  or I swear I will kill you”.   “ You have 
hurt me for the very last time!” 
As she said this Dante tried to walk quietly towards her.   
“ Please baby- Why don’t you let me call the doctor so he can help you?
After a brief silence- Sadie grabs a gun.   
“ Sadie  please put the gun down”!, he said urgently.   “Please baby, 
don’t do this” !   “ Give me the gun, okay, I promise you darlin, we can 
get through this!”, he said in a stern tone. 
“ No! Dante, don’t try to make me forget all you have done to me” !  
   As Sadie cried out, her thoughts began to run away with her.     As she looked down, 
at the 9 millimeter gun she had in her hand, her nose began to bleed.   Then suddenly 
her vision got very blurry.   She could hear her daughter’s cry and all of a sudden the room 
begins to move  in different directions.   She could barely hear Dante’s voice.  It is slowly dimming away,  and she can see his  

 brown eyes fading.    All of a sudden she begins to stumble  down and a gun
suddenly goes off...

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

Shades of a Battered Mind by: Sylvia Stein

Hello everyone, I wanted to share a tease of my upcoming book which I am working very hard on:  This is my WIP: I hope you enjoy! Shades of a Battered Mind  by Sylvia Stein  Chapter 1   “ The Normal Life “ As I lie here holding on to my sanity.   I have to say never in a million years would I have thought all would turn out the way it did.   You see for most of my life I had been searching and hoping that one day I would find the one  and be able to finally lead a “ normal life.”  However nothing could be farther from the truth.  My name is Sadie Martin Carlyle and  on May 27, 2010 I was charged with the murder of my husband Dante Carlyle.   The thing that makes this so horrific is that  I do not even remember  committing the crime.    All I know is that when I awoke the next morning,  My husband Dante was dead and I was found  next to his body and the murder weapon.   As of now all I can do is await my trial which will not be for a few months.   Sadly
