Lisa Jones

In Bulletproof Diva, Lisa Jones brings the wit and candor of her infamous Village Voice column, "Skin Trade," to a much larger audience. Chock full of the "fierce black girl humor" that has made her column so popular, this provocative collection of essays and observations on race, sex, identity, and the politics of style speaks to a young generation of blacks who were raised in an integrated society and are now waiting for America to deliver on its promises of equality. The thirty-seven short pieces and six long essays in Bulletproof Diva cover a wide range of topics, many of them extremely controversial. Jones moves smoothly from issues of ethnicity in a changing America, challenging viewpoints on African-American and mixed race identity, to "butt theory" and the roller-coaster politics of black hair. Written in a style that is as appealing as it is unapologetic, Bulletproof Diva marks the debut of a genuinely gifted young writer with a distinctive voice and a fresh perspective on the black cultural scene.

Tales of Race, Sex, and Hair

Bulletproof Diva

Being a divorce attorney for the rich and famous isn't all it's cracked up to be. Julie Harrison has learned that love doesn't last, and she's sworn never to make the same mistakes as her mother, or her clients. She uses the games men play to keep them at a distance. The only man who managed to break down her walls was Luke Walker, a Navy SEAL who loved her and left her, and changed her forever. When Luke arrives back in New York, running Walker Security with his brothers and having left his Navy SEAL days behind, he sets his sights on Julie, the woman he's always wanted and couldn't have. Except, she runs from him every time he gets close. But now, one of Julie's clients, a powerful judge, gets involved with a dangerous cartel, and his soon-to-be-ex wife ends up dead. Julie's next on the list, and she finds herself on the run from those who believe she knows too much, and counting on Luke to keep her alive. In the deepest, darkest moments of the night, passion will bring them together while danger threatens to tear them apart. Can Julie and Luke trust each other and find their happy ending before they find ... the end?

Dangerous Secrets

Dylan's entire identity - his entire state of being - is wrapped up in being a straight man. It's the way he's lived for all of his twenty-one years and is the only thing he knows. Without his cheerleaders and prom queens, without his alpha male jock buddies, and his sense of self-worth that's tightly interwoven with his perception of masculine heterosexuality, Dylan doesn't know what to do with himself. Wesley is unapologetically gay. I'd never say it to anybody else, but I admire that about him. I admire the fact that he is who he is and makes no apologies for it. He's comfortable in his own skin and is happy doing his own thing. He's not intimidated by anybody. Lives his life the way he wants to live it - for himself.

At 30, Lisa Jones has a dream life-an adoring husband, two beautiful children and a lovely home in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Four months later, it all begins to unravel when her husband is diagnosed with lymphoma. During a chance encounter with an angel reader, Lisa discovers she has the ability to directly connect to the angelic realm. Although the messages she receives sustain her on the heart-breaking path of caring for her dying husband and young children, she also keeps them a secret. Asleep at the moment of her husband's death, Lisa is transported to "heaven," a place of such bliss it changes the way she lives and thinks forever. What follows are years of transformation. She meets and marries the second love of her life, ends her accounting career, and finds herself thrust into a world of profound spirituality. She realizes that she can no longer keep these divinely guided messages hidden, and little-by-little shares her gifts with individuals, small groups and finally with large audiences. In this book, Lisa details her difficulties on the path, her bouts with depression, and her struggle with her biggest skeptic and critic-herself.

Pheobe's Christmas Adventure

Writer Lisa Jones went to Wyoming for a four-day magazine assignment. She was committed to a long-term relationship, building a career and searching for something she could not name. At a dusty corral on the Wind River Indian Reservation, she met Stanford Addison, a Northern Arapaho who seemed to transform everything around him. He gentled horses rather than breaking them. It was said he could heal people of everything from cancer to bipolar disorder. He did all this from a wheelchair; he had been a quadriplegic for more than twenty years. As Lisa returned to the ranch time and time again, Stanford slowly revealed his story. He'd spent his teenage years busting broncos, seducing girls and dealing drugs. At twenty, he left the house for another night of partying. By morning, a violent accident had robbed him of his physical prowess and in its place left unwelcome spiritual powers - an exchange so shocking that Stanford spent several years trying to kill himself. Eventually he surrendered to his new life and mysterious gifts. Lisa was a frequent visitor to Stanford's place over the years, the reservation and its people worked on her, exposing and healing the places where she too was broken. This is her story, intertwined with Stanford's, and it explores powerful spirits, material poverty, spiritual wealth, friendship, violence, confusion, death, and above all else, love.
