ENJOY ... FEELINGS by Tempie ... and ... HAUNTED HERITAGE AND OTHER STORIES by Albert Williams.....
..Editorial ReviewsBook Description
Manerva R. Jones is trapped in her Southern roots until she discovers her freedom is deeper than life itself. Her sense of passion, power, and spirit cause her to fight injustice at all cost. And it is injustice that takes her on a journey to Chicago where she meets two important people in her life. The three of them realize the irony of their freedom...battling love and lust...wanting to do the right thing...knowing God will forgive them....They are torn between living life to please family and following their hearts to their own happiness.Great Debut Novel
By J . Edwards (Houston,Texas) -I really enjoyed reading this authors debut novel from start to finish. I hope to see many more. In a world that is widespread in sending the message through TV, computers, video games, etc that if it isn't full of violence, crime, drugs and sex it isn't exciting ... well this new author shows that is absolutely not true. I was intrigued from start to finish... The story shows how our struggles as a people never really end but our happiness does surface. I would love to see this book in every library for all to read. I applaud this new author as well!Editorial ReviewsBook Description
“Haunted Heritage†is a tale about Margaret, a Dominican nurse returning to her homeland accompanied by her British husband. She soon becomes the joke of the village when she appears to be overtaken by bouts of manic depression as diagnosed by a psychiatrist. But as the story unfolds, to the bemusement of her husband, Phillip, Margaret is later hailed as one of the town’s famous residents when not only is she discovered to be the descendent of a famous writer, but also has a celebrated manuscript of her own. Other stories in this collection: “I’ve Seen It All Before,†“Baby in the Middle,†“Nature Guide,†“Recipe For Murder,†“The Little Lamb,†“Dear Sisters,†“My Little Lamb,†“The Storm†and “A Christmas Story.†Explore the lives of seemingly ordinary characters, thrown in unusual situations. The book also includes the love poem, “Goddess.†This publication will provide many hours of pleasant reading that will have you gagging for more from the same source.Seasoned Writer
By
Douglas Anderson (Chicago, IL)The Haunted Heritage and Other Stories was very thoughout and detailed. It took you on a journey of a British husband Phillip's ordeal with having to make decisions for his manic depressive nurse wife Margaret. The author takes you to their homeland with descriptive words and dialogue after been gone for seventeen years and their return. The story will have all your emotions flowing as you try to sense what will happen next. Strange things occur but the focus and story remain true to it's characters. The spirit of the West Indies rings clear and loud. This story welcomes a sequel and I hope to get one from this author.-----------------------------------------------------

TOMORROW’S AUTHOR TODAY
‘FEELINGS’AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWConducted via telephone on July 30, 2006.
BY ALBERT WILLIAMS
(MEET) TEMPIEE
very once in a while, there comes along an author who captures in real-time the spirit of a particular society.
One such author in my view, is Memphis-born, Tempie D. King, author of ‘‘Feelings’’ (ISBN -4241-0706-7) Published by Maryland-based, traditional publisher, Publishamerica LLLP. This 164-page publication is a modern-day, classic written in the literary tradition of the Deep South. Its treatment of its subject, matter resembles such writers as the renowned, Richard Wright, Toni Morrison, Ernest Hemingway and Og Mandino who are the author’s idols.
Following is an in-depth exclusive interview with the author herself, in which Tempie reflects on her past, present and future.
WILLIAMS: Tell us a little about your background. What prompted you to write ‘Feelings’. Who is Tempie?
TEMPIE: Ok Albert. Excellent question made me stop and think for minute. Tempie is…a very passionate, simple southern, down home country girl. She has a sense of family, she has been single. She is 51 years old. She has never married. She has no children she is the oldest of five. In a sense she has mothered her siblings. She is that type of person. She has been writing basically all of her life. That has been her estate. She’s very expressive. She’s very emotional. She’s very proud of that. And ‘Feelings’ was not originally thought out to be novel. ‘Feelings’ is simply what it is, her ‘Feelings’. ‘‘Feelings’’ is a combination…is compiled of all her 51 years of notes when she was going through life. When she had moments

of almost anything. Whether she was happy about getting a gift, or whether she was sad about losing a friend, whether she got a promotion on her job, It was sort of her diary; it was journal. Back when people didn’t really write, this was ‘Feelings’ is her friend too. Basically, that’s what ‘Feelings’ is. ‘Feelings’ kind of grew with her.
WILLIAMS: …And you come from Memphis, right?
TEMPIE: Born and raised in Memphis Tennessee.
WILLIAMS: Now when did you realize that you wanted to turn these journalistic doodlings into a novel? What inspired you to want to publish a novel?
TEMPIE: Another good question. It’s interesting that you say that, because I really didn’t realize that until I had moved away from Memphis Tennessee. You see Albert, I’m very proud of being 51, and I will tell you that I spent half of my life in Memphis, and half of my life in Chicago up until now. So it was at the latter half, that I felt that I was at a crossroad. I remember being a strong, southern somebody, in a very opposite place that I was born and landed in Chicago. And I remember I was going through a transition period between jobs. In fact I was unemployed at the time. And I had a lot of time on my hands. Well, I am sure that every person goes through transition periods. My transition past time at that time, as I remembered was that I relied on doing what I did best; and that was sitting and analyzing my life and my self. And doing that I had a lot of time on my hands and started reading more and going through my notes. I found my self, getting up early in the mornings. That’s when I, I don’t mind telling you too, from a religious point of view, God and has always been my guide, and he would get me up about 3am to 4 am every morning. And then reading my scriptures, and reading my notes, and little by little, things just kind of came up to me, and I found myself just excited about writing. When I started writing, the story sort of leaped out. One thing led to another. It really surprised me. Because I found out that within a couple weeks time, I had written a chapter…and it excited me. I think I always had this secret desire deep down to write…but I hadn’t really pursued it until then. So it really gave me an opportunity to challenge my self, and I found myself going to the library to learn how you write novel.“I had no idea that I would actually write a novel, but I did know that I had stumbled up on something that could not be ignored.â€
This is basically how it started. I’d like to say also, ‘Feelings’ was written ten years ago…that’s when I wrote it. I remember every day, it was like a had an obsession. I’d go to the library and I made a job out of learning how to write a novel myself. I read every writing book on fiction. I found out something about myself that in writing, I became very happy. You can see how I am now because of what it did for me. I was this person away from home. I was going through my own life obstacles but I didn’t want family and people to know. So I would just write down what I was feeling, and when I did that gave me a sense fulfilment. It made me feel good about my self and my life…it filled a lot of voids, and so I built on that. One thing led to another, and the idea came to me, I knew I had been successful in jobs, and the reason why I didn’t have one at the time was no fault of my own, it was simply down-sizing. I had been at the height of my career in Chicago. I had become very successful in management, sales, marketing, education and healthcare. You name it I thank God I had been able to accomplish so many things. I will also share I was able to meet so many people in my career and walk through life including my walk through the years while living over twenty years in Chicago. I will get a little ahead of myself and say, later after I had my book, ‘‘Feelings’’ published I choose to use the picture on the back cover because it represented such a successful time in which I was able to model some of Oprah’s clothes that were specially designed for her from one of her designer shops in Chicago. No Albert, I have never met Oprah, however, my signature picture wearing the apple green pantsuit with the bold and colourful scarf on my book cover back is one of the outfits from that designer shop. My wish is to someday meet Oprah and tell her and let her know how much I have always admired her and what an inspiration she has always been to me in my life. Then all of a sudden with no prior notice or indication
my job was no more.
TEMPIE CELEBRATES HER 40th BIRTHDAY.
I always believed that God doesn’t close on door without opening another. In the meantime this became a hobby…it became a very fruitful hobby, and it became one that I enjoyed. I remember taking my note pad everywhere, really I became my own agent, I became my own person. And my dream really started then. I had no idea that I would actually write a novel, but I did know that I had stumbled upon something that could not be ignored.TEMPIE’S FAVOURITE AUTHORS…
WILLIAMS: Ok. Now Tempie, we’ll talk a little about the characters in the novel its self in a while, but who are your favourite authors? Do you have any favourite writers who may have influenced your writing style?
TEMPIE: Yes. Oh you have excellent questions! In fact to answer that, I got to say that along with writing my other hobby is reading. I love reading, and in answering this I want to make sure that you hear me on this because my writing style is to enjoy a good book, and it doesn’t matter the ethnicity of the author. I’m above that. I could care less whether the author is black, white, blue or yellow. So in being that, that is how I wanted my writing to be as well. I didn’t want to get locked in a box. So what I did was to look at my best authors and the one that came foremost to me was a man called Og Mandino. In fact I would use his book as a reference to training on my job at times with his provoking messages. I was a manager for so many years in sales and marketing and I remember at the time while I was writing, I was reading his book, ‘The Return of the Rag Picker.’ It was this book Albert, that inspired me to write because in his book, he has a spiritual undertone, throughout the setting. I used to write many thoughts while I was reading it…he has about twelve or thirteen books…I’ve read all of them. But this particular book, I could feel myself in it.“I knew that in capturing these three writers, that it could put me on a platform to feel good about my work.â€It was written almost in the area that I lived in Chicago right along the same streets. As I was reading his book, he was so descriptive, of the details of telling the scenes that I felt the man was sitting right next to me writing. So this gave me the inspiration of identifying and saying I could do this too! I could right just as he wrote ‘cause it was where I was that all wa
