Portfolio Description:
LiNCOLN PARK began writing books approximately 19 years ago as a way to privately express her feelings about prevalent social issues; especially in regard to urban, African-American, feminine perspectives. However -- with the subjects and popularity of her titles now crossing over publishing color-lines, LiNCOLN PARK's fecund fables and prolific parables of modern episodes are heralded by a colossal and mounting faction of fervent, mainstream literati.
Called a 'gifted writer' by the prestigious, RAWSISTAZ Book Reviewers; as well as a special combination of -- Erma Bombeck's CRACK WIT, Tim Russert's CRACK RESEARCH, Merriam Webster's CRACK DEFINITIONS and a generally, CRACKED MIND -- LiNCOLN PARK's extraordinary literary style is controversial, cult and cutting-edge. As she frequently administers a more severe and disquieting pen than her contemporary literary counterparts, 4465 PReSS has taken unique initiative and placed the standard seal of PARENTAL ADVISORY on the front and back covers of all LiNCOLN PARK-penned books. | ||||||||

| Title: | Sculptured Nails and NAPPY HAiR | ||
| Price: | $14.95 | ||
| ISBN#: | 1411640624 | ||
| Buy It Here: | Amazon.com | ||
| Abstract: | SCULPTURED NAILS AND NAPPY HAIR is the widely acclaimed, debut text by LiNCOLN PARK; one of the Nation's most prolific writers of AFRoPuLP fiction novels. Throughout each of the four short stories in this riveting collection, these most unlikely, Black heroines of the 1980's are forced to address issues such as paternal death, love triangles, entrepreneurship and premeditated murder. What is AFRoPuLP? AFRoPuLP is fiction writing that explores Pulp Fiction from a multicultural perspective. It is not for the faint of heart or the self-righteous, though. The language and subject matter can get rough. AFRoPuLP books combine sci-fi; murder, sex, mystery and life as a minority in America into neat little packages of complexity. Neat Complexity. See what we mean? LOL PARENTAL ADVISORY |

I quickly realized that the titles of the stories had very little to do with the stories themselves. I kept wondering if the book title itself would ever be mentioned, and when it was, it was not a significant moment, just a simple observation by one of the characters. "The Mimosa Tree" is about a woman who will do anything and everything for love. Abandoned by her father at the age of 10, she looks for love with her neighbor, who takes her virginity at age 13. However, the love of her life is Marcus Tygers, whom she met in high school. Once he goes into the Air Force after graduation, she travels to see him every weekend she can. Although Marcus tries to discourage her constant visits, she is determined he's the love of her life, and she refuses to let him go. "To Cut a Diamond" is Margaret and Marine's story. Margaret, called "Kiki" in the story, is the wife of Abdul, a "Black entrepreneur/con man" who she marries two weeks after meeting him. He introduces her to drugs and cheats on her with a series of women throughout the story. Marine is one of the women who Abdul has been seeing, and her confrontations with Kiki are some of the most unique I have ever witnessed between a wife and a mistress. "Yellow Jacket" is the sad saga of a woman who wants bigger, better and more, and will do whatever it takes to have the finer things in life. Crimsonne Redd is a woman with a mission--to have her own marketing firm. In order to do that, she takes all types of unsavory side jobs to finance her business, Redd Hot Enterprise, by working as a stripper and a specialized call girl. The final story, "Aurora Borealis," is the story of Lark, who falls in love with an Italian named Emilio. They meet in Alaska, where she is able to actually see the Aurora Borealis, from which the story obtains its title. Lincoln Park weaves her tales in such a way that all of your emotions get involved--but each of the women in this book had me sighing in pity, because all of them were looking for the type of love they would never find. Park is a gifted writer, and I enjoyed the book, although the characters sometimes irritated me because of their extreme stupidity! |

| Abstract: | With her popularity crossing over color-lines, celebrated novelist, LiNCOLN PARK and her prolific parables of modern, Africentric fiction episodes are being heralded by a mounting faction of mainstream literati. THE BREVITY OF THE SELVES is Park's second, sensational work Throughout this mesmeric tale, you will ride a written roller-coaster of larger-than-life chronicles with the book's central character, Candace Odom. Turn the pages of this book and find yourself trapped in Candace's convoluted universe; a world awash with adventure, countenance, deviance, exuberance and tenacity.
