Therone Shellman the elder of four children who were taken away from their
mother when he was four and thrown into the NYC foster care system. In and
out of different homes he and his sister went. He was a child thinking about
adult issues like survival and having to look out for his younger sister. At
the age of fifteen dissatisfied with the dysfunctional parents who adopted
them both, and a school system he felt was biased he turned his back on both
and sought the streets. From hustling at fifteen, to pulling stick ups at
sixteen, Shellman found himself at the age of seventeen being sentenced to
'four to twelve' years in prison.
In an honest and brutal way Shellman tells his life story from a powerless
child to a power crazed and misdirected youth, survival of the fittest on
the streets and in some of the roughest prisons in New York State.
Throughout the story you witness his search for self peace and spiritual
growth as he sought to balance his troubled life which would ultimately lead
him through real life threatening situations where by chance and a little
wit he would overcome time and time again. And finally some way some how an
awakening rose up within him to change his life and write stories which
would help others. "Survivor" I Changed the Rules is not just a memoir or
biography, it is a testament about how strong the human spirit is and the
ability within all of us to rise above the chains which imprison us.

'Love Don't Live Here' The first book from a generational series. A story about two black women in their early 20's and takes place during the early 1970's into the 80's.
Barbara loves her boyfriend Trini dearly but finds out the hard way when he leaves her while she's six months pregnant, that love is not always what it seems. Having to raise their son Jermaine by herself poses to be a great task.
Like Barbara, Beverly also becomes a single mother but through much different circumstances. Her boyfriend Malik, a conscious black man in his early 20's a member of the Black Panther party, winds up getting killed during a bank robbery. This leaves Beverly to fend for herself and two children, Derrik and Tinesha. Being a woman she knows what it takes to raise Tinesha into womanhood, but is lost when it comes to Derrik.
The two women invite us into the world of relationships and single motherhood. In the end we all find out that it's all about doing and being the best that one can be.
In the end the story begins to materialize
to the point where the lives of these two adolescent males begin to evolve into
a cycle of confusion-leaving you the reader to wonder-what's to happen and
become of it all.
