On My Mind

What is Happening in Florida- The Stand Your Ground Law

2/24/2014

As I watch Politics Nation on MSNBC, I'm amazed! I've loosely followed the tragedies in Florida with my mouth sort of open in shock that in 2014 we're still at such a disadvantage as black people. I mean, in my own little bubble, I sometimes forget I'm black and most of my friends are white. We're just people striving to have great lives together.

So what is happening in Florida? They are trying to make sure people can stand their ground and use deadly force to do so. Two white men have killed black young men without receiving the sentencing they deserved. A black woman who fired a warning shot that hit no one was sent to prison. Justice is not equal in Florida and apparently blacks cannot assume they will receive the same protections under the law as their white counterparts. What does this have to do with you?

Namely, whether you're white or black, we all have to watch our lawmakers. I'm not of the opinion that most people are prejudice. I believe most people are uninformed. We leave our courts unchecked and our lawmakers too free to venture from their promises and our wishes. The news makes us afraid and sometimes seeks to steal our power by making the problem seem too big for us. But this country is great because it is supposed to be a country ran by the people for the people. We all, each voice, has power.

In states like Florida, it isn't just the trampling on the rights of blacks that is alarming. The most alarming aspect of miscarriage of the law is that it can truly happen to anyone. Look at it this way: all people are protected under the law, so to speak. Blacks were ensured extra protection under the letter of the law because it was necessary. Now if someone who has been afforded extra protection can be so easily violated, what protects those who are only basically covered? I mean, if someone will trample five laws to hurt someone, what keeps them from trampling two to hurt you?

I don't want you to be afraid. I want you to be informed. I want you to begin thinking beyond the news shows, beyond the televised promises of politicians and get involved with YOUR life, even the political parts. Be true to YOUR values. You're going to leave this world to YOUR children. We cannot put this country on autopilot. We MUST man the helm or our children will pay the price!

Advertising Your Book on a Budget

2/1/2014

In the last few weeks, I've been working hard at optimizing my websites and increasing my web presence. It's been going wonderfully. I know how tough it is as an author to continually grow and find new venues for your book and advertisements. With the flurry of spam online, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a way to promote without being relegated to the spam folder, deleted as a friend or even reported for your advertising activities.


One way to get around all that is to work with other authors and site owners to purchase ads and links. I'm now selling links and ad space on my website at a very inexpensive price. All the money collected will be used to promote the site, increasing visibility for everyone involved. Some of my marketing plans include blog and website features, tweetfests and Newswire services. If you're looking for more promotional assistance, check out my packages below and then contact me to get started. Your book deserves an audience!


LINKED UP
Your book buying link is placed on the website along with your website link, if it is a different site. A thumbnail of your book is put up. 90 days of exposure for only $15


BOOK/AUTHOR BANNER
Your book and your photo are used to make a banner with an active link to the site or book buying link of your choice. The banner ad is good for 30 days. Only $50


FEATURE PAGE
Your book gets a dedicated page on one of my sites for 30 days. The cover is posted, author bio, up to five links, up to 3 reviews and up to 3 paragraphs of an excerpt for your book. Only $200 (for a limited time)


For more information, email me or follow me on Facebook.
