Harnessing their extraordinary abilities, the boys will undertake an epic quest to fulfill a centuries-old prophecy. Cut off from their allies, Bobby and Jinx combat supernatural barriers, raging rivers, and deadly beasts. They’ll face savage natives, vengeful ghosts, and ruthless mercenaries who can conjure a person’s darkest fears. Past and present will collide, with the power of eternity on the line. Can Bobby fulfill the prophecy and lay the temple’s spirits to rest? If not, Bobby and his friends may become permanent inhabitants of the Temple of Eternity.

As his powers increase, Bobby is thrust into a cesspool of conspiracy, lies, and betrayal. A jade amulet left by his clairvoyant grandfather may provide answers, but what exactly is his family’s connection to this mysterious place?
Can Bobby master his talents in time to uncover the truth? If not, his fate–and the fate of the entire Jade Academy–may be sealed.

Hello, this serves as an introductory post for Author Nichole Troupe, whose title, “Just Like You,” is being released in print November 2019. Nichole is a marvel. As a quadriplegic survivor, she is not only an aspiring children’s author, she is also a loving mother.
The title, “Just Like You,” is about a young girl named “Tina” who has been diagnosed with Autism. She attends public school and has subconscious concerns about socializing with other school children and how to communicate while remaining respected and appreciated.
Tina learns that she can make friends and relate to the people around her and they learn that having a disability does not shape the heart and mind of an individual.
It is a wonderfully illustrated book that encourages young children to seek out one another while understanding differences with empathy in order to build a better future in the short scope of day-to-day . . .
About the Author:
Even though Nichole was a happy kid, she had a hard life even from the very beginning. At three (3) months of age, Nichole was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis, which required a VP shunt placement so spinal fluid wouldn’t leak into her brain. As she grew, more surgeries were required. Nichole even had surgery one (1) surgery on her birthday.
At age sixteen (16), Nichole nearly died when a tube came undone permitting fluid to drain into her brain. Thank-fully, her team reacted well and saved her. If everyone hadn’t reacted appropriately – Nichole probably wouldn’t be alive today, but the emergency resulted in a shunt replacement surgery that thankfully, was a success.
At twenty-one (21) years of age, Nichole conceived a baby and subsequently lost her child to miscarriage. After-ward, she was unable to walk at a normal pace without stumbling. No one knew why. Two (2) years later, after trying to conceive another baby, Nichole was blessed with her little girl; however, once again her walking lessened, resulting in a requirement of a four-wheel walker with a seat.
Even though Nichole had help, it barely worked for her. After three (3) years of struggling with her four-wheel walker . . . Nichole’s leg gave out completely.
When that happened, doctors gave Nichole an MRI, which is a picture of the body inside and out and it showed she needed spinal surgery. This eventually resulted in her becoming a quadriplegic. When she the first surgery occur-red, Nichole was able to use her upper body for a little more than one (1) year. Gradually, this changed, resulting in the need for a permanent wheelchair.
Eventually, Nichole required around-the-clock care, which became frustrating for her. Moving from independence to needing assistance with her hair, washing and brushing her teeth did not feel good for Nichole at age thirty-two (32).
To relieve stress, and thwart anxiety, like Tina in “Just Like You,” Nichole began writing. She moved from California to Washington State and found a suitable home to live in.
Nichole began seeing a counselor. She learned writing is the best way for her not to become angry about her physical limitations. Writing provides inspiration and an outlet to the world beyond disability and it is what she loves to do today.
After one of Nichole’s nurses bought her a device to talk into that writes everything she says, she put the gift to good use and developed, “Just Like You.”
Today, Nichole inspires children to learn more about people around them in a nonjudgmental manner while embracing and learning from their universal differences.
Currently, she is working on her second children’s book for release in 2020.

Carthage, NC, United States, October 30, 2019 – DonnaInk Publications releases Faces of Rap Mothers, by Candy Strother DeVore Mitchell. This is a book about the women involved in the lives of rap and hip-hop’s superstars. As a compilation of works – this title includes back stories from women who have supported rap and hip-hop artists dating as far back as the 1970’s. Surprisingly, in the compilation, when revealing the history of the development of rap and hip-hop’s legendary artists – predominantly from the West Coast, readers learn unlike the Italian-American crooners of the 1930’s to 1950’s who appeared slated to excel through their Italian heritage and its influence on media during their era . . . these rap and hip-hop artists literally sprang up among localities in an unplanned fashion – no one was pulling strings to ensure these artists reached epic results. Yet, the rap and hip-hop community, developed with a strong camaraderie where the performers happenstance into each others lives.
This fact, along with a host of others, makes Faces of Rap Mothers an intriguing read. On its face (no pun intended) the title sounds like a fan publication sharing factoids using the superstar’s status as an integer or hook to ignite sales. In actuality, the title delivers background on the origins of rap and hip-hop, tells intimate stories of the women who support the industry’s icons, and shares unique information, such as where The Jackson Five practiced and learned to play instruments, sing and dance. Most interesting is how this group of successful artists rose from all over the country, grew to know one another – typically while not famous – remained loyal as friends and associates to this day and reached goals that rose from parallel silos almost simultaneously without necessarily interacting in regard to achievement of their successes. A sense of fate results that turns the ideology of the formation of rap and hip-hop on its head. Certainly, the backstories didn’t map to what this reviewer anticipated. This is a book that is worthy of purchase and review, especially with fans of the genre.
Faces of Rap Mothers is made available through the Beat Deep Books Imprint of publisher DonnaInk Publications at https://www.donnaink.com in an assortment of formats, as follows:
For bulk orders, write to contact@donnainkpublications.com – in email, identify the number of books desired and an invoice / purchase order will be returned using industry-standard reductions from retail cost. Once it is received, remit payment and the order is processed same day until 6PM EST and next a.m. after 6PM EST.
Shipments from AMAZON and B&N may take a shorter amount of time – typically, AMAZON is faster than B&N. However, their retail rates are higher. DonnaInk Publications sells the title at discounted rates that are closer to wholesale and to match large distributor shipping speeds expedited shipping costs should be indicated by readers at checkout for additional cost. Of course, hardly anyone beats AMAZON’s overnight processing and billion-dollar overhead budget; however, where a reader likes to save money and can be patient a few additional days . . . DonnaInk Publications is the most cost-effective purchase.
This release is the “first” in the Faces of Rap Mothers Series; additionally, two children’s stories are on the horizon by the Faces of Rap Mothers. One is slated for release by the Christmas holiday and the second either by the Holiday Season or just after New Year’s. The children’s books are for empowering children. The initial release concerns the first day at school and the second concerns bullying. And, the 2nd volume of Faces of Rap Mothers is releasing in the first to second quarter of 2020.
CDs are in development, which go together with these titles, and though not yet released through the publishing house, they are soon to be made available at DonnaInk Publications and AMAZON.
