Sometimes all we need is a word that will free us from years of struggles and entanglements. I believe you, the reader, will find something within the pages of this book that will resonate in your heart and move you to say, "That's me", "I can relate to that" or "I know someone going through that."I was frequently awakened in the middle of the night to transcribe captivating lines of prose that seemed to be sent hot off the press from heaven. I am so very grateful to God for the poetic download of various poems that He inspired me to share with you. Every word was written from the very depths of my heart and soul. I believe I have something to tell the world and I Just Can't Keep It to Myself. It is my prayer that this book will invoke some sort of memory of one's own spiritual needs and/or emotional experiences in life, so that progressive change into a whole person becomes possible.
Words ...they inspire. ...Words...they inform. Words...they incite. Words...they can heal...or--they can kill...and what you do with them matters Poet Carye D.

If you have ever had a challenge expressing your deep emotions or just need a literary dose of empowerment, then allow this collection of spoken word poetry in My Voice Out Loud be the answer to your prayers.

An unputdownable queer coming-of-age rom-com about life and love in Hollywood. - "This vibrant, sun-drenched romantic comedy is both an irresistible love story and a riveting exploration of Hollywood dynamics." --Rachel Lynn Solomon, New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Talk For aspiring cinematographer Luna Roth, coming out as bisexual at twenty-four is proving more difficult than she anticipated. Sure, her best friend and fellow queer Romy is thrilled for her--but she has no interest in coming out to her backwards parents, she wouldn't know how to flirt with a girl if one fell at her feet, and she has no sexual history to build off. Not to mention she really needs to focus her energy on escaping her emotionally-abusive-but-that's-Hollywood talent manager boss and actually get working under a real director of photography anyway. When she meets twenty-eight-year-old A-list actress Valeria Sullivan around the office, Luna thinks she's found her solution. She'll use Valeria's interest in her cinematography to get a PA job on the set of Valeria's directorial debut--and if Valeria is as gay as Luna suspects, and she happens to be Luna's route to losing her virginity, too . . . well, that's just an added bonus. Enlisting Romy's help, Luna starts the juggling act of her life--impress Valeria's DP to get another job after this one, get as close to Valeria as possible, and help Romy with her own career moves. But when Valeria begins to reciprocate romantic interest in Luna, the act begins to crumble--straining her relationship with Romy and leaving her job prospects precarious. Now Luna has to figure out if she can she fulfill her dreams as a filmmaker, keep her best friend, and get the girl. . . or if she's destined to end up on the cutting room floor.

Intent on pursuing a neglected passion, she pours herself into a guest professorship at USC, hoping to transition to academia fulltime. Standing in her way is her co-professor, Maeve Arko, whose brilliance and beauty is matched only by her contempt for Val. As Val rises to the challenges that teaching throws at her, though, Maeve starts to soften, and soon sparks are flying. Now with a job and a girlfriend she adores, Val should be happy. But Hollywood isn't done with Val quite yet. Her directorial debut, Oakley in Flames, starts getting attention, and soon Val has to choose between her obligations to her class--and Maeve--and the burgeoning dream Hollywood career she may not be ready to leave behind.
