Romance/Drama!! Love Beyond Innocence (Book) - 6/2/2009 5:48:16 AM
I have loved the story badly. The use of students to show how the truel love can be spoiled by dishonest as well as intorelance sounds perfect to me. However, I don't understand why Dana choose to hide the fact that he is a gay. What made him choose to be a gay in the first place? Why he feels shy then for beibg a gay. If being a gay is something to be ashame of, he has to think of stopping. All in all I appreciate your choice of highliting the homosexual relationship. Please do somethink to help hate this relationship.

Heartfelt and I understand this for I lost a very dear and loving friend decades ago to suicide. The best to you in your work and it is fantastic that you have so much to offer the literary world and I am sure society as a whole. The best to you filled with many blessings and love, ~Gwendolyn

Drama!!! Mama and Us (Book) - 6/13/2007 10:39:10 AM
Heart shatterings and heart breaking. This book is all too real in the times that we are living today. Unfortunately many have had to endure such pain and suffering henceforth more times than not if one survives especially women one does seem to be even that much more compassionate. I am so glad you wrote this and you are blessed being able to bring such a book into frutation. Continued love and enlightenments to you. Sincerely, ~Gwendolyn

Romance!!! To Catch a Kitten (Book) - 4/18/2007 7:31:18 AM
Kitten is everything but innocent in this steamy novel, full of sex, lies, greed and more! This story is about a young, attractive woman who captivates and empties the pockets of more than a few good, professional and wealthy men, who find themselves entangled in her web of lies, girl-drama and deception.

She (Revised) (Short Story) - 11/21/2009 9:59:51 AM
This reached inside me and touched all the places that seem so familiar. You wrenched almost every emotion from these few words. Beautifully written.

Through the Eyes of a Daughter (Short Story) - 4/3/2009 10:36:06 AM
Your story brought tears to my eyes, as I have a Tiffany too...and I hope we grow to have a closeness like you share with your daughter. (She is only nine right now.) Your words brought forth images of myself and my mother and also of my oldest daughter...the pain that lies below the surface with me in regards to my relationship with my mother & yet also the joy that I share with having a close kinship with my daughter. She will never have to wonder if I love her...she knows... Thank you for sharing your tender thoughts with us. Cryssa :~)

She (Revised) (Short Story) - 3/26/2009 10:04:38 AM
This is a beautiful story. Thanks, Mariann

She (Revised) (Short Story) - 7/19/2008 6:38:06 AM
This is so beautifully done. It was beneficial to include the scriptures as she was considering each. I appreciate having the opportunity to read it. Thank you!

She (Revised) (Short Story) - 1/5/2008 11:30:29 AM
Wow, a powerful story with lots of emotion and truth. It would take a woman stronger then me to continue with a man who treats me like an old sack.

Through the Eyes of a Daughter (Short Story) - 9/25/2007 11:32:51 AM
Thank you for sharing these lovely sentiments, Kathryn. You are fortunate to have a daughter like Tiffany and she is fortunate to have you as a mother. Love and blessings to you both, Regis

She (Revised) (Short Story) - 9/25/2007 11:30:00 AM
Sad but powerfully emotive and meaningful, Kathryn. Thank you. Love and peace to you, Regis

She (Revised) (Short Story) - 6/30/2007 2:09:20 AM
I know of many women like this. truth is a powerful emotion in itself. She will leave him one day... I did. Sandra

She (Revised) (Short Story) - 4/17/2007 3:01:48 PM
I enjoyed this story, Kathryn. A lot of truth here, and some very powerful emotions. I felt very sympathetic toward your character and her situation. Very sad for her, but in her vulnerability, I also sensed an inner strength. Nicely written. Jean

Loving the Skin I'm In (Article) - 4/3/2009 10:52:28 AM
I read your article "Loving the Skin I'm In" with curiosity and with fascination. I am Caucasian, but I have a daughter who is bi-racial as well as 7 "black" children from Haiti. I hope that none of them ever feel that their skin is not light enough, or dark enough to fit in anywhere. It is sad to me that my hope is likely not to be realized...but I also understand, as I so often feel that I am looked down upon by those who feel I am the "wrong" color to raise these children. My favorite comment about being comfortable about the skin I'm in came from my then 4 year old daughter. We had many people telling us that frequently transracially adopted children (those adopted into Cauc. families) wished they were white as well. We wanted to gain a sense of whether or not our children felt this way. We asked our daughters if they liked white skin or brown skin better, or the same. Our daughter piped up and very diplomatically said, "White is pretty, but I like brown on me." May she ever feel that way...for brown is beautiful on her! Cryssa :~)

What Happened to The Really Great Movie Ideas? (Article) - 2/14/2009 12:50:34 PM
Kathryn - happy v - day -- and your article is written extremely well. You point makes all the sense in the world, what has happen to those well written stories. I look to music and movies as the same. Those who control these businesses have a mind set that - they believe is what people want to hear. Those types of people lack vision and are surrounded by yes people. I do believe that we shall turn back the clock to a time of stories, romance and good music. Stan aka spirit

What Happened to The Really Great Movie Ideas? (Article) - 2/13/2009 5:24:50 AM
Kat, Good to finally hear from you again. As you know, I follow you on AD and I'm aware of your past and your book "Momma and Us." It is a very sad story about children growing up in the saddest of situations, a complete opposite of my own youth. Your story would indeed make a movie that would probably glue us to the screen. You should contact my agent, as you know, she sold the movie rights to my own book and might be able to help you too. I'll buy the popcorn :) *Glen*

10 Step Guide to Avoiding a Person With Bad Breath (Article) - 1/23/2009 12:14:32 PM
That is funny and helpful at the same time. I don't think there is one person over 2 years old that hasn't wondered about how to get away from that person with bad breath without offending them as much as the are offending us. But lo and behold, we're all living and everything living gets the bad breath blues too, so this is helpful to everyone no matter what side of the breath they happen to be on.

10 Step Guide to Avoiding a Person With Bad Breath (Article) - 6/16/2008 2:07:19 PM
This is a great article. I admire your wit, humor, and ability to explain your ideas so clearly. I admire your style, and plan to read more. I am a fairly new writer on this site, but I must say, this piece really caught my eye. I have just written a few short stories and poems, too. Great work, and I look forward to reading more of your work!

Loving the Skin I'm In (Article) - 7/7/2007 7:17:07 AM
A fascinating article. It highlights what should be a given ... color and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder. Warm regards ... Reginald V. Johnson

Loving the Skin I'm In (Article) - 6/13/2007 10:46:04 AM
Wonderful article and all too real. Greatest gift is life regardless of what skin we are in, far too many times people do accuse other's of many things concerning their heritage however it is what we believe in our hearts that we are. Regardless, of what anyone else says or feels the beauty of each person is to be found in the interior. Another excellent read and I do hope Essence Magazine published it too! You are beautiful regardless what skin or heritage you are! Sincerely and with blessing, From the Heart of an Aritst...

Yes, am wounded bird yes, I was abused by my father. It took many years to gey over it. I am 90%over it. That 10 percent I am still working on by helping others much less fortunate. God Bless you for sharing Kathryn! That is a huge step in the right direction. John Michael

Sisters (Poetry) - 8/26/2009 9:53:38 AM
Truly a fine tribute to sisterhood, Kathryn. I have one sister and five brothers; I am not really very close to any of them though. Thanks for sharing. Love and best wishes, Regis

Sisters (Poetry) - 5/27/2009 8:13:40 AM

Peace be with you my Friend (Poetry) - 4/3/2009 10:29:55 AM
How well you expressed the feelings of betrayal...and then moving on to forgiveness and even love for the friend whom you once trusted. I, too, have written some poems along the same subject...The Color of Forgiveness, Inkblots, To Bridge a Heart, Essence... Your writings have heart. Cryssa

Hi Kathryn, I read your poem, "Peace be with you my Friend". I found it shed a lot of God's light. Well done. Peace to you and yours. Please feel free to visit my site here in the "Den"

The Willow (Poetry) - 6/5/2008 8:38:36 AM
Loved to play under the willow tree in my youth and when it was so hot out. Still admire the willow trees when driving by in the car and wishing I could stop to rest under them a while and be free as you said. No sadness for me beneath the old willow tree.

Would You Trust a Stranger (Poetry) - 5/19/2008 12:00:16 AM
well as always meet a stranger in a public place and find everything you can about them but usually someone who goes that long and is open about themselves will in the end become either really good friends or a Lover well done with your thoughts being expressed here-stay safe always my friend

Would You Trust a Stranger (Poetry) - 4/17/2008 2:17:48 PM
Only if that stranger was you Kathryn. My mind tells me the answer to your prose would be no, but it's written so well that my heart would be inclined to say YES ! *Glen*

Would You Trust a Stranger (Poetry) - 4/7/2008 12:05:29 AM
Excellent work and smooth flow in this piece. Continue with more of this romantic style...truly enjoyed so...but then again Romance pieces are my genre.

Would You Trust a Stranger (Poetry) - 4/3/2008 1:25:56 PM
lovely bit of work here... well done flow, great rhythm and a great play on the theme of deception.

I Am But a Wounded Bird (Poetry) - 4/3/2008 10:26:26 AM
I am a masterpiece for the macabre to a spirit That withers in the wind Powerful verses and the entire poem is poignant and compelling, Kathryn. I can relate to much of what you express here. Thank you. Love and best wishes, Regis

Would You Trust a Stranger (Poetry) - 4/3/2008 10:23:54 AM
You give your reader pause for thought, Kathryn. There is no understanding the motives of some individuals. Thank you. Love and best wishes to you, Regis
