Stephanie, Monique and Cheryl are three high powered women, one is married and two are not. So how did all three end up with the same man? Two of whom attend the same church. Do they really believe the words coming out of their Pastor's mouth on Sunday morning? Or are they simply playing a role? Church hat on, hands raised in praise, belting out a "hallelujah," gleaming smile and the baddest suit known to man, a costume, the perfect embodiment carefully hidden behind a Church Face. www.lisawalkerthomas.com

For My Sisters is a collection of poems that gets to the heart of the matter as they lend credence to the various moods and attitudes we often find ourselves in. Through the pages of this book you'll find a poem entitled, "Dishonored Sister" it turns the mirror on our sisters who have agreed to share a married man with his wife. We also have the poem entitled, "The Angry Sister," in this poem we acknowledge that there are angry sisters out there, but we go deeper in that we try to look beyond the anger to see how our sister may have gotten that way. For My Sisters also takes a look at the lives of the Sister Giver, the Church Girl, and Sister Peace to name a few. As always thank you for agreeing to take this journey with me perhaps you'll see yourself or someone you know in the poems in this book, whatever the case I hope you enjoy it as you take some time for you. Blessings in Abundance! www.lisawalkerthomas.com

Kendall, Sabrina, and Gabrielle have more in common than good genes, status, and a French manicure. Sabrina is married to Marcus James, an NBA star, but behind closed doors she's a paper wife, that is a wife on paper only. Gabrielle was dumped by Brian the love of her life, when without rhyme or reason he called her an average chick and walked out on her, that's when she grabbed hold of Aaron, a sweat-suit wearing, ketchup-stained, loud mouthed fiasco. Kendall's been with Jason for three years but after he lost his job she became certain the only reason he's with her is for food, shelter, and an endless stream of cash. Will each of these women continue to accept fractional love served on a conditional platter? Will they continue to pretend like they have a man, happy to settle for what they know is a lie? www.lisawalkerthomas.com

How can two black women end their 20 year friendship over one white guy? Apparently easily because that is the exact reason Angela St. James ended her friendship with Ty Ellis. Within hours of meeting Brian Halston, Angela St. James found herself in his bed, and if Brian had his way that's the only place she would be. Angela has never responded to anyone like this in her life. But when a photograph of the two appear in the Atlanta Journal, Angela mistakenly believes Brian planted it there as a means to sabotage a major contract he was aware of, because of that Angela abruptly ends their relationship. Angela moves on quickly with the incredibly handsome Kelley Spencer, but when her best friend, Ty Ellis unknowingly catches the eye of her ex, Brian Halston, the flames of bitterness begin to spark. After causing a scene at a local bar when Angela walks in with Kelley and witnesses a tender kiss between, Ty and Brian, Angela becomes enraged. Angela then returns home with Kelley, where we learn some of the reasons why Angela is not too fond of her new beau, when we are introduced to some of his fetishes and proclivities. Angela makes it up in her mind to win Brian back. But when Vivian Avery the grand dam of advertising and Kelley's aunt senses the looming breakup, she threatens to ruin Angela if she breaks his heart. Attached at the hip to a man she doesn't want, and watching her best friend's happiness unfold with the man she yearns for Angela decides to stop at nothing to ruin Ty and get Brian back including sabotage, humiliation and murder...she just hadn't counted on a formidable, relentless opponent.
