About
The Book
Nikiya
Barnett aka Nikki, is still secretly suffering in silence concerning losing the
love of her life, Raja Abrams. She desires total healing from God, but somehow
seems to be stuck in her heart and mind. She alongside her two best friends who
happens to be her coworkers, are trying to make Salon Select the new ‘it’ spot
but this does not happen until they invite God in, by way of Sappora Ink.
Sappora Ink is the new blog talk show host with a show
entitled, RFRT~Real Folks, Real Truths. Sister Ink is a straight to the point,
raw, doctrinaire Christian girl trying to help her friends in this sinful
world. She is changing the world one show at a time, and taking Shreveport by
storm with the help of Nikiya Barnett, the owner of Salon Select, who has
opened her salon as a hosting spot. Little does Nikki know, Sappora is closer
to Raja than she thinks?
Raja is stuck in a world wind of adversity that he seems
to have created for himself. Through R.A.B.~ Raja Abrams Broadcasting, he is
trying to secretly make Nikki aware that their time together was not a waste,
but will his method be the same method used to change his life forever?
Things happen when we choose to let God in. Whether we
appreciate His ways or not, we must remember, His ways are not our ways. Will
life change for the better for Nikiya and Raja, or is the plan that has been
laid before them all a part of God’s plan?
Nikiya “Nikki” Barnett
"Nikiya Barnett, known to
shop patrons and friends as Nikki, was eager to tune in to RFRT with Sister
Sappora Ink. The blog talk show previewed for the first time the past week,
rating high and considered a hit by reviewers. As far as Nikki was concerned,
the
world needed someone who would tell the truth, live the
truth, and share the truth, even if it were a blog talk show host.
As explained, Sister Ink answered questions about
relationships, and although honest, she was raw. Against her will, Nikki
listened to blog talk shows often blaming the desire to be a good best friend
for this phenomenon. A couple of them were worth listening to, but some were
uninformative and a useless waste of time. The hosts were inexperienced or too
pretentious to explain life’s circumstances with realness and clarity. They
failed to solve problems or share foundational truths from the Gospels, as Chelle
declared Sister Ink did.
For the first time, Nikki’s curiosity about a show’s
review ignited interest and Nikki refused to miss it. Intent on judging for
herself perhaps sparked the motivation. It may also have been the desire to
understand how she lost the love or her life or the need for spiritual advice.
Either way, Nikki would be in the front of the computer, with an open mind
centered on Sis. Ink.
The only dilemma was making
it home on time. Nikki’s solution may not have been perfect but it was plausible.
She drove 85 in and 70 mph zone, praying the angels would blind the police. The
inability to afford another speeding ticket should have detoured Nikki from
breaking the law, not to mention how dumb it would be
to get a ticket resulting from rushing to hear a talk show, but it didn’t. With
long hair weave blowing, as the wind whipped through the windows of the car,
Nikki uncaring and unconcerned bobbed and sang along with the music. We are
conquerors, conquerors.
Driving fast, the “zooming” of the other passing vehicles
warranted a rear view mirror check. Dang Nikki! The thought was not a result of
a police approaching, but the reality of looking at a calescent mess. Nikki
snickered, but noticed the children in the car to the left laughing and pointing
their fingers. Nikki licked at the children and then sped past them."
How To Avoid the Rejection Blues
By Author Danyelle Scroggins
It would
be crazy for me to tell you to not feel any emotions when your project, your
baby, your vision, your dream is just shot down,
and there seems to be no good enough reason why. Yes, I do not have any authors
around me who would not react to rejection, but I do have authors around me
(including myself) who have learned that every “NO,” opens the door to a better “YES.”
For me,
it was a double whammy sometimes because not only were they rejecting me, I
often felt like they were rejecting my God. This not only saddens me, but it caused me to be angry
especially when they would say, “Your books are a bit too preachy and straight
forward.” That made me realize so many people are so hooked on lies until it is
hard to write the truth (as you know it) and expect it to be received.
Now,
this could have very well caused me to retreat into a corner and not come out
until the rejection blues subsided, but
instead, I rejected the blues from rejection. I refused to give up on my dream
just because it was not suitable for the three people in that office who read
it. Thousands of people could use your message. One way or another, if God wants
a particular message delivered, it will be delivered by whom and to go where He chooses. You have to keep in the corners
of your mind, there is someone out there somewhere who needs to hear what I am
saying in this book.
Through
prayer and preservation, it will land in the hands of those who need it the most,
and all you have to do is expect just that. It takes faith to write a book, and
it will take the same faith and sometimes beyond to stay positive as you shop
your book for a deal. And when all else false, create your own deal with God
and produce, print, and promote exactly what God has given to you.
