    Jen Flanders here. Just another starving artist in New York City. I walk dogs for money, practice yoga for sanity, and hit up my friends at a local bakery to supplement my diet. Unfortunately, rent is due and I'm running out of cash. 
     
     
     
    After begging the universe for a sign that help is on the way, my phone pings with a text. 
     
     
     
    GOD: You can do it; I believe in you! 
     
     
     
    Wait?! GOD is texting me? I know it sounds crazy, but I'm so desperate, I'm willing to believe just about anything right now. So, I ask him for help. 
     
     
     
    On the first day of texting, he gets me a job that will keep me afloat. On the second day, he hooks me up with a killer wardrobe. And on the third, he agrees to meet me at a pub to discuss my future. 
     
     
     
    Only, it turns out GOD isn't a deity, but a divinely handsome lawyer named Gabriel Oliver Daily, who thinks he's been helping out his friend's little sister. He's the man of my dreams, but it's never going to happen between us because I'm a whack-a-doodle who thinks she's been texting the Lord himself, and, I don't know how to explain that to him. Plus, he's got a serious girlfriend, and they're perfect for each other. 
     
     
     
    Although, I'm learning things aren't always as they appear . . .

    Pieces of a Broken Mind is the raw and honest portrayal of Richard Bryght, a struggling Seattle writer with dreams too big for a single lifetime—navigating love, loss, and the pursuit of artistic fulfillment. Haunted by a past relationship and his mother's mental decline into Alzheimer's. Then, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arises—to turn his self-published book into a movie. Richard embarks on a transformative leap of faith, with his best friend Danny by his side and his mother's blessings, leaving Seattle behind to move to the City of Angels and chase his dreams.This gritty story takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of fame and the creative process in a new city filled with distractions. Through Richard's eyes, we experience a broken and beautiful world where contradictions and paradoxes intertwine. As Richard struggles with the pressures of success and battles his inner demons—he finds himself lost in a sea of self-destruction, searching for solace in drugs and casual relationships with adult film stars.Beyond being a captivating story, Pieces of a Broken Mind serves as a love letter to Los Angeles, the pursuit of dreams, the written word, and the resilience to never give up. It's a reminder that no matter how broken we may feel, we all have the ability to pick up the pieces and create something beautiful.

    Set in the village of Cousins Cove, Jamaica, One People plunges us into a small community where everyone knows everyone's business, poverty is a way of life and dreams of escape trickle through fingers. Guy Kennaway's comic novel – sparkling with irreverent wit and written partly in Patwa – is cherished in Jamaica for its humour and humanity. It celebrates the essence of the island, where 'culture is something that comes from the ground up and good times do not require a whole heap o' money'. First published in 1997, the book grew out of the tales that Kennaway listened to on the island during his first ten years as an idle expatriate.
