Words Of Expression
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99In her poem “The Lost Courage,” Tanya Marie Breaud exhibits the style and emotive voice that weaves its poignant way through Words of Expression, her first published collection of verse.
“Hear me when I cry at night,
be Mother’s arms that hold me tight.
Bring me up when I fall down,
Come to me when no one else is around. . .
Listen to the words that I speak,
give me courage when I’m scared and weak.”
With inspiration continuously evolving from her personal experience, Ms. Breaud delights her readers with poetry that tugs at their heartstrings while wringing out their disappointed, wet washcloths of heartache. From high-spirited enthusiasm to sad, distressing loneliness, these poems run the gamut of truth, longing, forgiveness, faith, and hope. Readers will surely find solace in this poet’s words, as well as the reassuring momentum to keep going in life, despite the obstacles placed before them.
In true spiritual observance, Tanya Marie Breaud confides in the Introduction to her book, “All the chances I never took, I’m now taking. For the longest time I have searched for a way to express myself. I finally found my way through Words of Expression.”
It is her hope that her readers will, too!

The Big One: The First 52
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99The author examines the invaluable gift of time within the context of eternity, through the lenses of profound themes in the forms of storytelling and poetry.

The benefits of struggles in the life of the believer and the power of God’s love are conspicuous throughout. These discussions are centered not only on the eternal destiny of mankind, but also on the possibility of living successfully and abundantly in this life. The Big One flowed from a loving relationship between the author and his Savior and is a unique gift from God. These verses portray fundamental concepts in a lucid, unpretentious and honest manner. As you read, you will experience a magnetism which pulls you to the secret place of the Most High and propels you toward the real reason you are alive-to fear, obey, enjoy, and glorify God.

The Art Of Dying
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99Much writing on the subject of death, dying, cancer, and grief is often sugar coated. That is understandable, considering the difficulty experienced by those dealing with it. However, in the process of grieving, it is essential to express, in often raw terms, how excruciating it is. Jere Truer, being both a therapist and a widower, worked through his grief via poetry and honesty, with the hope that these poems will validate others’ reality, give permission to bear down into grief and emerge on the other side of it.

The Beacon
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99Life sometimes takes us to task.
So we seek our knowledge from the past,
Only to learn that life is an ever changing path
that rolls us in and out of the shadows.
Like a captain of your ship a sail,
Without a Beacon, you’ll surely fail
To find your way upon the seas of life,
And run aground in tears and strife.
That’s why the Beacon came to be,
To shine its light on you and me,
And help guide us safely to shore,
To be lost in life’s seas no more -

Poems
$8.99‘Poetry is a collaboration between readers and author. The author writes his impressions and understanding of a given subject but relies on the imagination of the reader to share and explore the implications of his words. Although we are separated by time and distance, a spiritual and emotional
bond is achieved when author and reader share the epiphany of a poem.’

Afro-American Me
Price range: $3.99 through $7.99Afro-American Me is a literary collection of my poems and essays written while pursuing an associate degree in mental health/chemical dependency at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio. I used to think writing papers about self-inventory and awareness was a way of inducing a severe headache. Boy, was I wrong! I learned so much more about myself than I could ever imagine. Attending college has been more than just a higher education; it’s been a journey of discovering my true purpose and creative talents.
All my college instructors brought out the best in me. One instructor told me, “Always write what you know about.” That advice grew with me, and it’s never failed me. My poetry teacher always challenged me to go deeper with my poems. That advice motivated me to rewrite and revise my poems until they become masterpieces. I will never forget the last thing my poetry teacher said to me: “When you write your book, I’d like to have a copy.” Every poem and essay I’ve written has a personal connection-something I know about, a personal experience, how I feel, or my opinion about something.

Wrinkles
$3.99I think it was Maxim Gorky (lower depths) who once said that laughter not only opens the mouth to laugh but also opens the mind to thought.
In this book, there are many poems that give that food for thought, for consideration and debate, but I have added a humorous bent on much of the material, for as in my case at least, humour is a good, strong tool in dealing in many cases of diversity.
As for the rest of the book, well, it’s a mixture really with funny poems, well, just for a sake of a laugh.
