Push: A Novel

Sapphire
Love For All Seasons

A. C. Arthur, Barbara Keaton, Sapphire Blue, Maureen Smith

Love for All Seasongs will keep you aroused with four sensually-erotic love stories to melt winter's snow with steamy sexual treats, drenches the spring in a downpour of forbidden love, blazes through summer--hot, lusty, and bold, then falls into autumn for an erogenous delight. Join A.C. Arthur, Sapphire Blue, Barbara Keaton and Maureen Smith for a rollicking jaunt through the four seasons of love.
American Dreams

Sapphire

In the tradition of Alice Walker, this electrifying new African American voice delivers the verdict on the urban condition in a sensual, propulsive, and prophetic book of poetry and prose.

Whether she is writing about an enraged teenager gone "wilding" in Central Park, fifteen-year-old Latasha Harlins gunned down by a Korean grocer, or a brutalized child who grows up to escape her probable fate through the miracle of art, Sapphire's vision in this collection of poetry and prose is unswervingly honest.

"Stunning . . . . One of the strongest debut collections of the '90s."--Publishers Weekly
Black Wings & Blind Angels: Poems

Sapphire

With fierce candor and an unflinching eye, the highly praised author of Push journeys through the harsh realities of African American existence to find the "door to the possibility of now." The heroes that emerge from these forty-seven vigorous poems confront the agony of betrayal as they strive in their quest for self-transformation and redemption.

From the city streets to the rich landscape of dreams, each of these poems holds out the "black wings of expectation" offering the chance to emerge from the pain of the past and arrive at "the day you have been waiting for/when you would finally begin to live." At turns alarming and inspiring, the raw lyrics and piercing wisdom of Black Wings & Blind Angels remind us of Sapphire's place as a unique and fearless voice.

Iridescent Invasion

Sapphire Phelan

What do you do when aliens invade your planet?

Why, fall in love with one, have hot sex with him, and save the world!

Kasee Adair-s making lots of changes. Newly divorced, she-s just moved to Coyote Bluffs, Arizona, to become a writer. She had no idea just how much her life would change, though.

Iridescent-hued and parasitical, the aliens came to Earth, looking for a new home and new bodies to inhabit.

One wanted more, though. He wanted Kasee. He wanted her love.

Together they would discover an erotic love so deep that they would be able to transcend worlds with it while they fought the invasion of her planet.
Les Fables des Fleurs

Sapphire Pleiades

The book consists of twenty small stories about flowers, but the stories are also about feminine lives and their psychological experiences. The aim of the author is to elevate each flower's life to the status of a fable. Flowers can evoke an emotional response, and the author postulates that perhaps some flowers can experience an emotional condition. Flowers whose voices are heard include daisy, pansy, passionflower, lotus, orchid, frangipani, and star of bethlehem. The flowers speak in an idiosyncratic syntax that is charming.
