“One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.” —- Joan of Arc

My computer!

What would your best friend say about you?

About Stacy Deanne’s New book Melody:
Melody Cruz is certain her sister’s new boyfriend, the wealthy, charming and handsome Keith Taylor, has a dark past that he will do anything to hide. Wanting to protect her sister, Melody works to uncover Keith’s secrets, not realizing that in doing so, she is sacrificing her own safety—because Keith will go to any lengths, dangerous or violent, to keep himself in control.

At the same time, a man named the “Albany Predator” has been brutally raping black women throughout the city, and Melody is convinced that her best friend is the rapist’s next target. Detectives Brianna Morris and Steven Kemp are placed on the case, determined to bring the sadistic felon to justice. But when things couldn’t get anymore complicated, all evidence is turned around to reveal a surprising suspect.

    “I’LL TAKE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK IF YOU LIKE, TO THE VERGE OF BLISS AND THE MEDIAN OF FOREVER AND ALWAYS,”
    WERE THE WORDS I SPOKE.

    MORE AND MORE WE WATCH THE VALUE OF LOVE INCREASE.

    SALVATION HAD NO ROOM FOR GROWTH, SO THERE IS NO RELEASE.

    YOU DREAM A DREAM OF BEING RICH IN LOVE AND HIGH ON IT’S GRACE.

    THANKFULLY, JOY COMES IN THE MORNING, LIKE SUNRISE ON YOUR FACE.

    A LONELY HEART, FILLED WITH LOVE, STILL BEGGING FOR MORE.

    A LONELY HEART …STILL BLACKENED TO IT’S CORE.

    “I’LL TAKE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK IF YOU LIKE, TO THE VERGE OF BLISS AND THE MEDIAN OF FOREVER AND ALWAYS. ”

    EYES WIDE OPEN, LIPS SEALED TIGHT.

    LONGING AND WAITING TO BE LOVED RIGHT.

    ONCE BELIEVED DREAMS WERE WAITING TO BE LIVED.

    DESIRES DISAPPOINTED, EXHAUSTED IS MY WILL.

    EMBRACING TRUE LOVE, FORSAKEN BY IT SO….

    TO SAY THAT LOVE’S WEALTH IS PLENTY …WELL I JUST DON’T KNOW.

    “I’LL TAKE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK IF YOU LIKE, TO THE VERGE OF BLISS AND THE MEDIAN OF FOREVER AND ALWAYS,”
    STILL THE WORDS I OWE.

    ** I GOT NEXT **

  8. Tamika Smith says:

    Congratulations on your new book! It is nice see another successful woman. When I was reading your interview, I noticed that we have a few things in common. I love music, and your thoughts on ‘love’ is how I feel also. If you don’t have someone to love you and for you to love, your world seems like it isn’t complete.

    As far as your book, it seems very interesting and I would be honored to have an autographed copy of it. Thank you.

    May God have his hands in all that you do and to the success of your new book. Your view on love is so true and if most people would have this idea about love it would be so wonderful. Love does make everything worthwhile. May God continue to Bless you with your endeavor!

  12. Dion Bess says:

    One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying

    in some way this qoute is how most of us live our lives.even tho we don’t want to admit it but thats how we live our life.we know we only have one life so some of us no most of us live it that way.but the only problem we worry about what other people say or what other people may think of us.so we sacrifice who you are that is a fate worse than dying.belief is a strong weapon and i’m not talking about belief in God.because everybody belief in there is a heaven and a hell.i’m talking about belining in yourself knowing the distance that you will go your limits.just like melody she is certain her sister new boyfriend have a dark
    secret that he’s hiding.and just to keep her sister safe she will run into a buring house if she have to just to keep her safe.thats why i like your favorite quote because to me it’s saying be yourself and never give well that is just my opion.
    but the book melody sound like it will be a very nice book to read.

    As for the things to come in your life, always remember to put GOD first. And you will see all the blessings that He already have waiting on you, but it’s up to Stacy that determines when she is allowed to have them. GOD bless

    Congratulations on your new book, sista. It’s always encouraging to see an enterprising black wo/man achieve such a lofty goal of being published by a major entity and being so well received.
