Truly Pertinent Questions
Price range: $3.99 through $24.99Author of three anthologies, In My Heart…On My Mind, The Root of My Affection, and Truly Pertinent Questions, Wayne D. Russell is an educator, researcher, poet, songwriter, and producer. He is known as pragmatist, his brusque yet seductive approach to writing challenges the reader to confront the esoteric.
Russell describes his poetry as political, provocative, and unapologetically blunt, taking the mundane and making it sublime. His writing assuages the readers to see the elegance in simplicity and to encourages them to confront the unknown.
This author invites the reader on a random walk through their constructed realities and further challenges them to explore its nebulous boundaries. He forces them to grapple with their own imagining; it is this quasi-spiritual exploration that gives credence to his body of work.
Wayne D. Russell is a Mathematics lecturer and researcher at Medgar Evers College, The City University of New York. He has written and presented academic papers, nationally and internationally, bringing innovation to Mathematics learning.
Russell is also the Chief Executive Officer of EduSols LLC, a New York based small business research entity. He is the Executive Director and principal songwriter of LyricSurge Records, a small independent recording label operating out of New York and Ft. Lauderdale.

A Conceptual Circus
Price range: $3.99 through $12.95TRANSFIGURATION I would expect nothing less. Carry your sword, my prophetess. Obstinate contumacy training. Find the objective that is more draining. More strenuous tasks will make you grow. Pain upon you I bestow. I’ll take it all and nothing less. I claim it back; I repossess. Tip the scale; Turn it over. Mark the unused; What’s leftover. The main part no longer exists; Despite the reduction, it persists. Continued movement; A quest for traction. An opposite and negative reaction. Hex induced metamorphosis; Reoccur once again for us. Physically and internally hanging. The process of rearranging. The alteration was so fitting. Now they’re pausing; They’re intermitting. In reaffirming the causation; Keep kempt, and maintain your original explanation. Wear our serpent prophetess; Prior to you was profitless. The soil was sown with no reaping. Tear our hearts out for your keeping. Beyond the boundaries of what is permitted. Reward me for the sins I’ve committed. My acts were bold; Caress my flesh. I give it all and nothing less. The facsimile will shudder. Express what it is I utter. Amidst psychos and others. Among psychos and others. Live with vigor; Efficiently transfigure. Disfigure; Change his figure. Make it so; Mark the torso. Undergo; Nock the torso. Let it grow; Open the torso. Let him know; Carve the torso. Mark the torso. Undergo; Nock the torso. Let it grow; Open the torso. Let him know;

Letters Of Life: Whispers, Secrets, & Lies
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Letters of Life is a collection of perceptive, achingly honest poems that offer a decisive view which makes no apologies. These verses attempt to simplify rather than complicate the common ills which plague humanity. Often providing insight into life’s often messy entanglements.
These poems are divided into three separate sections. In “Whispers” we examine those things that people speak softly about under breath. The poems in “Secrets” reflect a pool of applied wisdom and answers to personal questions. And “Lies” deals with rumors, half-truths, and false impressions. Tying all the poems together is an undercurrent of truth.
“For in truth, there is love, in love, there is understanding. In understanding, there is forgiveness.”
In this stunning collection, whispers will cease; secrets will be revealed; and lies will manifest-but the truth will remain evident throughout.

Ron’s Ramblings: Characters, Critters and Us Cantankerous Rednecks
Price range: $5.99 through $19.99Big Sky Country is one of the many nicknames for the state of Montana, the place the author calls home. While Montana is a diverse state in people and in geography, north-eastern Montana is characterized by soft rolling hills and sharp coulees; scrub grass, sage brush and wild flowers cover the prairie lands and tall cottonwood, ash and willow trees shade the waterways, all outlined against skies a magnificent shade of blue which make this countryside unforgettable and unique. The people that have and still do call this place home are just as unforgettable and unique as the skies.
This is a collection of stories and tales, mostly centered around the rural area of north-eastern Montana; some are from the authors own experience, including family and local history, as well as stories of wildlife, hunting and farming, and some belong to others who have been kind enough to share their own histories and recollections.

Words of the Broken
Price range: $3.99 through $7.95These are some things I wrote based on my personal experience from mental, verbal and emotional abuse.
Their victims suffer for years after it happened. In my opinion, they are the worst kinds of abuse.
They damage their victims in the worst way. The damage they cause cannot be seen by others and lasts for eternity.
Time heals broken bones.
Nothing heals a broken mind.

God Speaks to Me in Silence
Price range: $3.99 through $16.99Where does poetry come from? For Janet Safford Cline, her poetry comes from a lifetime of loving words and putting them together to express her faith in Jesus Christ. A lifelong Christian, in her inspiring poetry collection, God Speaks to Me in Silence, she imagines biblical scenes and stories in the poems “Shepherds, “Temptations” and “Why” She gently pokes fun at Sundays-only Christians in “Dear Bishop” Janet lived many years in the Texas Panhandle and recalls it lovingly in her poem “In the Panhandle” and she ponders her life in several poems about her family and friends. For the last forty years, she has lived on the Texas Gulf Coast, complete with hurricanes and uncertain weather, all of which is reflected in God Speaks to Me in Silence. God speaks to me in silence, never bombast or demand. The Lord of Lords is patient, always holding out his hand. I seldom take the time to sit and wait for his soft word, But I know God’s there and waits for me whatever has occurred. It’s only when I quiet down I hear God’s wondrous voice. God’s always there to talk to me, but I have to make the choice. God speaks to me in silence, when my mind is rapt and still, And it’s up to me to listen then to hear his perfect will.
