KANSAS CITY, Mo.,
May 18, 2021 (Newswire.com) –
Anne Hope, an active in Christian ministry and a singer/songwriter from a small town in North Carolina, has completed her new book, “Bent Pages”: a personal account unfolding the moments in the author’s life which she considered as her bent corners. Found within the pages are the important moments that inspired and polished her growth as a woman.
Anne writes, “A psychiatrist friend once told me that he could gain a good understanding of how people become the individuals they are merely by having them write down their ten earliest memories. And, if he could then get those same people to write down their top ten most important decisions they have made in their lives, he felt he could gain a keen insight into what decisions they might need to make in the future to change the course of their lives for the better. I set out to examine those very memories and decisions for myself in Bent Pages.
From the time I was a child, one of my habits that drove others in my family crazy was to bend the corner of a page down on a book I was reading if it contained information I wanted to remember and look back on. It was easy to tell which books I had read and had been inspired by…there would be many bent corners. This book is a snapshot of the bent corners of pages in my life that have inspired and taught me. They are moments I never want to forget, even if painful. They have made me who I am. And I would not change that for the world!
But looking back can be a risk. It can be painful. It can dredge up things that you never wanted to think about again. But change is a decision, and I desperately wanted to change and make decisions wisely, even if it meant examining parts of my history that were painful or blurry. To my delight many memories also brought laughter and a new sense of appreciation for the difficulties we all face when growing up. We start out as children with it being ‘all about me,’ and we view our microcosms only through those myopic, child-like eyes. Yet, as we grow and mature, we are often able to view those experiences and the people involved in a whole new light…sometimes even as unexpected blessings.
God wired me specifically with certain talents, abilities, and personality traits when he knit me together in my mother’s womb. I have purpose. I can make an impact. I long to fulfill my role in his plan for history. I have discovered that I can make a difference, one person at a time, beginning with me. I have learned that God is indeed in control, even when life seems chaotic. I have learned that when I try to take back control of my life from God, I forfeit faith. I have learned that even one person, one decision, one act of obedience can catapult a life of insecurity and despair to ultimate joy, peace, and fulfillment in Christ.
Lastly, I have learned that I get to choose how I want to view those events that affected my life. I can choose to be a victim. I can choose to be angry. Or I can choose to be a victor…a person who chooses joy in seeing the gracious hand of God creating a beautiful symphony to share with others. I want to sing Him a love song…my life the melody. At times, this book is emotionally raw and heart-breaking, and at times it will make you laugh out loud…welcome to the adventure!”

Supreme El Jefe’s New Book, “American Whore,” is a Gripping Novel That Follows One Woman’s Journey to Build Her Own Empire in the Sex Work Industry, No Matter the Cost
New York, NY, September 25, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Fulton Books author Supreme El Jefe, who hails from Akron, Ohio, has completed his debut novel, “American Whore”: a poignant and compelling tale that centers around a young woman who gets drawn into the world of sex work and flips the game on its head as she builds her own empire, despite the chaos she leaves in her wake.
The author writes, “Sarafina was born into a maze of dysfunction, and at the tender age of nineteen, she let her cousin Debbie convince her into taking advantage of her uncanny beauty and become an exotic dancer at a raunchy strip club located in the short north section of Columbus, Ohio, called the Bee-Hive.
“It didn’t take long for her to become the main attraction of the Bee-Hive, and her popularity captured the attention of a well-known pimp. He charmed her into leaving the Bee-Hive with him, and before he knew it, she was joining his stable of prostitutes. He foolishly let her beauty blind him from seeing her sinister plot, and after completing her mission, she relocated to Vegas, leaving a wake of destruction behind, which included murders and prison sentences. She became a major player in the sex industry, and within a short five years, she earned the title as the queen of Vegas, along with the hate of her competitors.
“Will Sarafina live the American dream, or will the combination of her greed and past unite with karma and create her demise?”
Published by Fulton Books, Supreme El Jefe’s book will captivate readers as they follow along on Sarafina’s destructive path to victory and success, where even one wrong move could bring everything crashing down around her. Expertly paced and full of suspense, “American Whore” is a thrilling page turner that will leave readers spellbound right up until the very end.
