A must read for Tyler Perry fans, Never Would Have Made It is the remarkable true story of success and failure, love and faith. It is a story many can identify with after being jilted in love, life, or business, following years of sacrifice for the success of others only to be cast aside, without receiving credit or reward for loyalty during hard times.

Entrepreneur, activist, producer and writer Sijuan King is pleased to announce the release of her debut suspense thriller, Millennium Slave: Part I.

When Si began writing the book six years ago, she never imagined that it would be so relevant today. Pre-President Barack Obama and the now infamous “Occupy Wall Street”, Si had a vision. She dreamt of a world where a relatively small percentile held all the wealth, power and the innocent lives of men, women and children in their greedy and diabolical hands.

New book exposes truths about men and women relationships, desires, hopes, imaginations, and more that sends the devil packing.

Pack your bags, her bags, his bags, the dog’s bags—whosever bags; because before you even finish reading chapter one somebody is going to take a hike. I Don’t Do“FRIEND”~ Marry Me or Be Alone exposes truths about men and women relationships, desires, hopes, imaginations,and more that send the devil packing. It draws a line between friend and marriage that clearly says God’s way or the highway. If you’re not quite sure what side of the line your “friend” relationship is on, the book provides an evaluation that leaves you with no doubt. It goes from casual dates to soul mates and takes no prisoners—it kills every spirit that is contrary to the Word of God.
