It's Been A While

So it's been a while since I've last written anything, or given any updates as far as my latest books and short stories are concerned. Well here is the latest, I have finished both The Receptionist and Altered: Genesis.

They were both scheduled to be released in late August, but due to some setbacks both projects were finished late and there are still no illustrations for either story. I am hoping to have both of them illustrated and published before the end of the year. Also, I've started to write the 5th book for the Adventures of Marco and Carla series. I have a working title and so far the story is coming together and I hope to have most of the also done by the end of the year.

But for now please continue to visit my blog. I will start updating it regularly and also please visit my new website Shamara Davis Books . Please continue to support me by buying a copy of any of my books or reading any of my free books which are available on Smashwords.com

Mind you because of the demands being placed on you by your new little bundle of joy you might feel that you have no time for yourself, and I would say that your right!

Eventually your little bundle starts sleeping thought   All of those demands and sleepless nights were something you thought you were prepared for, but when it finally came down to it you were totally wrong. Gone are helpful nurse's that would take your little one to the nursery when you wanted to take a nap. Gone are the extra...

RACISM AND "THE HEART OF DARKNESS"

Racism and "The Heart of Darkness" This essay was my own personal look at essays that explored racism in particular works and what accomplished authors had to say on the matter. Chinua Achebeā€™s essay ā€œAn Image if Africa: Racism in Conradā€™s Heart of Darknessā€, was written about the apparent racist undertone of Joseph Conradā€™s novel ā€œHeart of Darknessā€. The book takes us on a journey into the Congoā€™s and how Africans are described and treated in the time of European expansion and its thrust for ivory. Achebeā€™s attempts to explain to his readers why he thought the ā€œHeart of Darknessā€ and its author were both racist. Achebe proves his point by quoting parts of the novel that emphasized color over everything and the language that the author uses to describe the African natives was racist and unnecessary. As an example Achebe uses is Conradā€™s description of the African mistress in the novel and her European counterpart. ā€œShe was savage and superb, wild-eyed and magnific...
