Toni LaRue is releasing her controversial debut novella Abandoned Secrets this summer. A young woman’s search for mother that abandoned her takes her into the underground world of human sex trafficking. Toni’s goals are to offer her readers a variety of stories and show that black authors don’t have to only write urban fiction.

The Conscious Sexual Self Workbook by Melissa Fritchle seeks to empower women with a sex-positive guide to exploring and understanding your sexual history, beliefs, desires and intentions.Like sex itself, the workbook takes an intimate and fun approach that emphasizes meeting your own needs as opposed to following the crowd. Think of it as the honest and forthright big sister that all of us could have used but few of us had.
