THE WOMEN OF THRALLDOM
Within
the backdrop of history, eroticism, and the supernatural, THRALLDOM follows the
lives of three women bound to the legacy of one man, each on an endless search
for desire, love, power, and ultimately their own destruction.
Arianna
Seville—intelligent, determined, and full of sensual longing—can't seem to
erase a painful past. That is, until she reunites with a mysterious man from
long ago. Out of nowhere, he threatens her otherwise normal reality. She will
risk her future and everything she has worked for to divulge into a realm of
mysticism and seduction she never
knew existed.
Diamond
Martin—kinky, ambitious, and shrewd—is engrossed in experiencing the ultimate
thrill. Diamond will stop at nothing to get what she wants, until she is forced
to choose between friendship and the world she has dominated.
Mary Margaret Martinez, an American beauty, finds herself in a hostile environment immersed in the life of a violent man with a dangerous history. She fights to overcome him. She wants nothing more than to be free, yet she will make one terrible mistake that will haunt her forever.

BLACK ELK
BLACK ELK SPEAKS
by John G. Neihardt (New York: Washington Square Press, 1972),
originally
published in 1932.
Chapter 2: Early Boyhood
I was four years old then, and I think it must have been the next summer that
I first heard the voices. It was a happy summer and nothing was afraid, because
in the Moon When the Ponies Shed (May) word came from the Wasichus [the White
Men] that there would be peace and that they would not use the road any more and
that all the soldiers would go away. The soldiers did go away and their towns
were torn down; and in the Moon of Falling Leaves (November), they made a treaty
with Red Cloud that said our country would be ours as long as grass should grow
and water flow. You can see that it is not the grass and the water that have
forgotten.
Maybe it was not this summer when I first heard the voices, but I think it
was, because I know it was before I played with bows and arrows or rode a horse,
and I was out playing alone when I heard them. It was like somebody calling me,
and I thought it was my mother, but there was nobody there. This happened more
than once, and always made me afraid, so that I ran home.
It was when I was five years old that my Grandfather made me a bow and some
arrows. The grass was young and I was horseback. A thunder storm was coming from
where the sun goes down, and just as I was riding into the woods along a creek,
there was a kingbird sitting on a limb. This was not a dream, it happened. And I
was going to shoot at the kingbird with the bow my Grandfather made, when the
bird spoke and said: "The clouds all over are one-sided." Perhaps it meant that
all the clouds were looking at me. And then it said: "Listen! A voice is calling
you!" Then I looked up at the clouds, and two men were coming there, headfirst
like arrows slanting down; and as they came, they sang a sacred song and the
thunder was like drumming. I will sing it for you. The song and the drumming
were like this:
Behold, a sacred voice is calling you;
All over the sky a sacred voice is calling.
I sat there gazing at them, and they were coming from the place where the
giant lives (north). But when they were very close to me, they wheeled about
toward where the sun goes down, and suddenly they were geese. Then they were
gone, and the rain came with a big wind and a roaring. I did not tell this
vision to any one. I liked to think about it, but I was afraid to tell it.
-Black Elk
Jamie Haden: Spirit Seeker
By Remy Benoit
Spirit Seeker is an enchanted, beautiful book.
It has been several weeks since I finished Spirit Seeker and I have been walking around with it in my head, thinking of Talisa and the world she is beginning to walk her path in. It has been half a century since I was Talisa's age, but I do recall searching at sixteen for the place that I fit in, could say it was a place that I belonged. I did find that, but not at sixteen.
Perhaps that is why I have been, well, holding Talisa in my heart because I find that I rejoice in her beginning her journey in finding her roots, in finding her love, at the same time that I react to her as a mother and find myself mentally saying to her: "Tread softly, tread slowly, there is joy to be found; there is experience to be found; there are undreamed of depths to begin to excavate, but, well, I hold a sense of trepidation for you. Again, tread softly, tread slowly. There is light here, but also there is darkness for which you have not yet been prepared."
Talisa is walking on a path, being exposed to a path of the old ways; ways tied to nature, to nature's forces, her secrets, and her mysteries. As the daughter of a daughter of a shaman of the desert, Talisa's path is water. She begins to walk the path of the spirits, one that takes great training which she has not had. She is mesmerized, hypnotized, and yes, in love with Jag who can onlyth, I have walked around as a mother worried for Talisa, wanting her to follow her path, wanting her to, yes, tread softly, tread slowly.
I am ready now to continue this journey with Talisa in Illuminate-Alive, She Cried. Somehow I feel I should be there for her which is a sign of truly wonderful story telling.
Ms. Haden has caught my heart in this truly enchanted tale.
Spirit Seeker.

A Cherokee Tale of Two Wolves
A Grandfather from the Cherokee Nation was
talking with his grandson.
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight between two
wolves."
The young grandson listened
intently.
"One wolf is evil, unhappy, and ugly: He
is anger, envy, war, greed, selfishness, sorrow, regret, guilt, resentment,
inferiority/superiority, false pride, coarseness, and arrogance. He spreads
lies, deceit, fear, hatred, blame, scarcity, poverty, and divisiveness."
"The other wolf is beautiful and good: He
is friendly, joyful, loving, worthy, serene, humble, kind, benevolent, just,
fair, empathetic, generous, honest, compassionate, grateful, brave, and
inspiring resting wholeheartedly in deep vision beyond ordinary wisdom."
The grandson paused in deep reflection of
what his grandfather had just said. Then he exclaimed; "Oyee!
Grandfather continued; "This same fight is going on inside you, and inside all
human beings as well."
The grandson paused in deep reflection and
recognition of what his grandfather had just said. Then he finally cried out
deeply; "Oyee! Grandfather, which wolf will win this
horrific war?"
The elder Cherokee replied, "The wolf that you feed. "

Hello,
Thank you for stopping by my blog for Six Sentence Sunday.
Each week, readers can tune in to Big World Network to read or listen to my Episodic Fiction THRALLDOM.
Each episode is written by Jamie Leigh Haden and read by the amazing Willow Wood.
Today I will feature six sentences from Episode Six.
THRALLDOM
From behind, Alejandro clutched the leather belt so hard I gasped. I could only imagine the look on his face when I whispered, "More."
He moved his hand right between my thighs, and I spread my legs wider. I was safe,
immersed in pleasure and pain. Warmth filled me as he pushed my panties to the side and slipped
his fingers inside my body. Swirling as an endless sea, I could smell the salt of my sex and
wondered if he would swallow me.

PAGE TURNER BOOK TOURS PRESENTS…
The Tide Breaker by Sonya Watson
Blurb: Once upon a time, there was a sixteen year-old girl that lost both her parents under unusual circumstances. Abrianna was lonely and found some comfort in the arms of her boyfriend, Michael. Life turned grim when she realizes that a man, who was once the enforcer of fate, wanted her to die. The disgraced enforcer had taken great steps to ensure Abrianna’s death and planned to do this by enlisting the help of humans and creatures without their knowledge. Evil had washed over the land the humans named Dainesville. Abrianna had the power to heal the land and when she did she would return prosperity to the lives of the townspeople. When the time came for Abrianna to stand alongside her half-brother, Stephen, to fight the coming evil she did so without hesitation. Life ended. Darkness fell. Love faded. The End?
Bio: Sonya was born in Mandeville, Manchester, Jamaica but moved to Canada eleven years ago. She discovered writing when she was eleven. However, was unable to pursue it since she lived in a country where writing was impractical. She rediscovered the art during third year at York University. Kinesiology, the program she was enrolled in, was no longer simulating and found herself questioning her purpose in life. This led her to poetry and poetry led her to writing novels.

This week I will feature six sentences from episode three of my new series, THRALLDOM.
Synopsis:
When Arianna Seville signs up for an independent student on the nature of desire, little does she know her life will never be the same. Secrets from the past can only be concealed for so long. Out of nowhere, a mysterious lover from long ago returns, and threatens her otherwise normal existence. Before she knows it, Arianna begins a dangerous journey into a world of mysticism and seduction she never knew existed.
Excerpt From Episode Three:
Perhaps what fueled the fire the most was that he never paid attention to me. When I would see him, tingles rushed over and danced up my spine, and I would shyly move my eyes to the one place I was sure he would feel, and still, he never seemed to care. Could he not feel the heat of my glare through his faded jeans? I reasoned it was some alpha male rite of passage.Whatever it was, it was perfect in and of itself. From this, a fantasy was born. The mere thought of him gave me reason to breathe.
Reason to be.

This Week From Episode Two:
Stunned by his silence, I stood in darkness and inhaled the fragrance of his being.
Natural—it reminded me of the majestic evergreens that encompassed my childhood. Under
venerable trees, I ran free and undisturbed. My backyard was a blank canvass to imagination;
much more than simple earth, she was often my closest companion. Once upon a time, a magical
land of fairies dwelt within her gardens by the pool. As an only child, I delighted in the
enchantment of castles in the sky, played content with imaginary friends come winter, spring,
and fall. After I turned thirteen, however, fantasy took on a new meaning, and my playground of
make believe changed entirely.

Six Sentences:
The room was dark; it appeared I was alone, yet I knew different. A scent similar to cedar lingered in the air. I locked the door as warm hands wrapped around my waist. The familiar touch sent shivers up my spine.
Servility is a despicable vice, I thought.
The voice inside my head was clear, but I didn't pay attention.
