AAMBC Summer Tours w/ Imani True & Dreama Skye, the authors of erotica tales Strawberries, Stilettos and Steam

Strawberries, Stilettos and Steam

What’s the “Best Chocolate” you ever tasted? Have you ever been “Turned On” and  “Turned Out” at the same time?  How would you handle an unexpected “Detour”? And how would you scratch that nagging “Sophomore Itch”?

Strawberries, Stilettos and Steam takes you on an erotic journey to discover the answers to these questions and many more.

In “The Touch-Up,” a young woman has one more fling before her wedding day. In "Disturbing the Peace," a woman is in desperate need of police assistance. In “Nika’s Birthday,” a husband gives his wife a gift that she’ll never forget.
 
With their debut collaboration, Imani True and Dreama Skye bring you a delicious collection of seductive, mind-blowing stories that will leave you intrigued, enticed, and definitely turned on.
So relax and dive headfirst into a world where strawberries, a pair of stilettos, and a little steam always makes it better!
Strawberries, Stilettos, and Steam.....Want some?

Excerpt from "Nika's Birthday":
Nika slid down onto Don as if mounting a prized stallion. She quickly took charge. “Now who’s running this?” she asked Don. He felt her pussy tighten around his dick. For several minutes, she rode Don with a combination of fluid hip action and slow grinds.

Jackson stared at Nika. The look in her eyes was one that he knew very well. His wife was in the zone now, and Don was in serious trouble. Sensing that his wife was about to break his boy down, Jackson spoke.

“He’s not ready for the signature move, baby.”

“Well, he shoulda’ kept his bat at home if he wasn’t ready to play!” Nika said

Interview with Imani True


Tell us about the book:
Our book is called “Strawberries, Stilettos, and Steam.” It is a collection of erotic stories for all types of people.
Where did you get the title? Imani and Dreama:  I was at a dead-end writing a story with that title. Dreama suggested that we use it for a book title instead.
How did you find out about each other? We were both on a social networking site and working on different projects. We agreed to submit stories for two erotica anthologies. Once the contest was over, we teamed up on this project.
Why did we decide to write together? After the contest, we thought how upset we would be if someone who had read our stories during the contests ended up releasing our work before we did. We decided to take our destiny into our own hands and put our work out before anyone else.
Why did we choose Erotica?
Dreama: I was already writing erotic poetry as an outlet. I just switched from writing poems to stories.
Imani: For me, it wasn’t a conscious decision. I was coming out of a seven-year writer’s block. When I picked up my pen, Erotica is what spilled out.
Describe your writing process.
One of us will start with a concept and plot. Then we’ll talk about it over the phone, take notes. Then we do a line-by-line collaboration via Yahoo, Skype or text messages. When we start, we usually have a working title that changes by the time we’re done. But the plot generally stays the same from beginning to end. Dreama finds the holes in the story and the character descriptions. We go back-and-forth until we wrap it the way we want. Beginning-End-Middle is usually how we write.


What are your favorite stories? Which did you enjoy writing the most?
Dreama: “The Best Chocolate” and “Sophomore Itch” are my favorites. Most fun -“Nika’s Birthday” and “VIP.”
Imani: “Sophomore Itch,” “The Takeover,” and “Nika’s Birthday” are my favorites. Most fun -“The Interrogation Room,” “VIP,” and “Turned On, Turned Out.”


 Dreama Skye knew that she was destined to be a writer from the moment she held a pen in her hand.  She has been writing erotic poetry for years. Recently she discovered another passion: writing erotic stories. Fate and destiny collided when Dreama met Imani True. Then  Strawberries, Stilettos, and Steam was born. She grew up in the beautiful bluegrass state of Kentucky. She  resides there with her two beautiful daughters. She is currently working on a book of erotic poetry, her first novel, as well as another collaboration with Imani True.

AAMBC Summer Tours with Bernice Dickey, author of My #1 Is Still My #1!

"My #1 Is Still My #1!"

 

 

 

In "My #1 Is Still My #1!" Bernice emphasizes the power of God's spoken Word over our circumstances. Through journal entries, letters written to God, and memories, she shares her difficulties, temptations, victories and sacrifices as her commitment to Christ took priority over her grief.

These transparent and revealing personal glimpses, combined with relevant biblical teaching, will remind you that only by putting your total trust in God can you "come through" the fiery trial of your faith!

Bernice Bright Dickey is a native of New Orleans, Louisiana. She and her daughter, Miriam, reside in Sugar Land, Texas. She is an Associate Minister at Kainos Community Church in Katy, Texas, pastored by the Rev. Drs. Joe and Yolande Herron-Palmore.
Ministering behind the scenes had been her calling for quite sometime. In this season of her life, the Lord has called her to teach the Word as He gives her spiritual revelation, His strength and many ministry opportunities. Minister Dickey has been a frequent guest at the Potter's House and her interview with Bishop T.D. Jakes on his show The Potter's Touch was featured on the segment titled "Comforting, Coping and Conquering". In her segment she shared about God's faithfulness to her after the loss of her daughter, Naomi Eliza and Pastor/Husband, Kevin Dickey. Her interview on the show was aired nationally and internationally in October 2003 and ran for several years.

Minister Dickey's purpose in teaching God's Word is to leave a spiritual legacy in the lives of those she touches that will result in changed lives!

She loves the Lord with all her heart and is willing to serve Him wherever He leads her. To schedule seminars, conferences, or speaking engagements contact:

Q &A for Bernice Dickey’s “My #1 Is Still My #1!” for AAMBC virtual tour 

What was the inspiration for writing the book? 
I couldn’t find my story on any book shelf even though I knew someone else had to have gone thru multiple losses of loved ones at the same time before me. And b/c God commissioned me to write it after I came through the fiery trial of my faith.


Explain your process for writing the book. 
I have always been a journal(er) so the process came about as I wrote down what God and the Holy Spirit shared with me as they coached me through my grief. When it was time to write the book, I left it in journal format to help the reader experience my emotions day by day as I did and to put them in the moment as they read the book.
 
Who is your book for? My book is for anyone who has ever lost someone (Family) or something significant (home, biz, health) in their lives. 
 
How does it help us in our daily lives? The book walks you through the daily process of trusting God’s Word over your emotions, especially when the going gets tough.
 
What is the one thing you would like your readers to walk away with after reading this book?
No matter how much you are crushed down and overwhelmed by your emotions after experiencing a loss, if God is your #1 Priority you will come through your test of faith as His trophy of Grace! If you are NOT in a crisis right now then get your priorities in order, b/c so that when you are in it you can move through it on automatic pilot while letting the Holy Spirit steers you clear out of the storm. Just like we drive our cars on automatic pilot we will arrive on the peaceful side, Hallelujah!
 
What is next for you? I am guest blogging on relationship blogs, writing articles for parenting magazines as well as promoting my new book My #1 Is Still My #1!

Do you have plans to write other devotional/spiritual books, and how can readers reach you? I am working on ideas for a parenting book that helps parents to teach their children how to be grateful in a way that reminds us of our appreciation for the things we now have. Our children have more than we ever knew to ask for, yet they are lacking in their appreciation of the many things that we give them. I have the answer for parents in the form of a small pocket book coming out real soon!
