Nyagra Ensley is beautiful, smart and very successful. In a word, she's damn near perfect. But it's lonely at the top because perfection can only tolerate perfection.

All this searching has made her tired. She vows to loosen up and become less superficial for the New Year. Her resolution activates her ability to view people for who they are on the inside and unlocks the door for a man that doesn't fit her every criterion--or does he?
Take a peek into Nyagra's story--a story about friendship, family, and love--about emotions over material things and about finding love and happiness in a place never imagined.

Fire & Brimstone by Laurinda D. Brown

A daring new writer who isn’t afraid of tackling the big issues—parenting, homosexuality, and religion—makes her debut in this rollicking, lusty, and searing tale of a gay single mother struggling to find meaning, employment, love, and God without losing herself in the process.

Chris Desmereaux has her own special relationship with God, and it doesn’t include raising hell six days a week and repenting on Sundays. Her lover, Gayle Evans, sees nothing wrong—or hypocritical—about that arrangement. Gayle is the minister of music at their local church, and she delights in leading the congregation in joyful, foot-stomping song once a week. But Chris is secretly ashamed of sneaking around with her lover and wonders how Gayle can guide nearly a thousand upright congregants while carrying on a secret lesbian affair. She is starting to have major issues with their relationship, as well as with her entire life. But a change is coming to Memphis that will challenge the faith, belief, and tenuous bond of both women. For Chris, it is a journey fraught with perils, pitfalls, and temptation that will take her in unexpected directions and could lead to a second chance at love.

An exhilarating and liberating tale of one woman’s odyssey of self-enlightenment sans the usual guideposts, Fire & Brimstone is both a wickedly sexy story and a modern-day parable about what it means to be black, Christian, and lesbian today. Written by a uniquely gifted storyteller, it is a novel like no other in recent contemporary fiction.

Laurinda D. Brown was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, and is a graduate of Howard University. She lives with her two daughters in Hampton, Virginia. This is her first novel.
