| Self-Published Author Reaches Bestselling Reality |
| (MWC, OK) The author, Mrs. Crystal Perkins-Stell has just completed another spectacular milestone in her life. She is a mother, educator, counselor, and motivational speaker, who pulls no punches when writing her reality based novels. She is currently on Essence Magazine's November Bestseller's List with her novel, Hood Rich. To some this might not sound like much, but to those who know Crystal, this honor is truly a blessing to her. To ensure that her dream became a reality, in 2002, Crystal sold her car and gave up her tax return. Author Stell never imagined that some years later she would be an author people wanted to hear more from. Her novels (Hood Rich, Never Knew A Father's Love, and Soiled Pillowcases) are phenomenal. The reality based fiction she writes immediately draws readers in and takes them on an emotional roller coaster. Crystal Stell is not only a gifted writer, but she is committed to African American college students. A percentage of the proceeds from her novels go towards scholarships for first-generation and low-income college students. Crystal wrote Hood Rich, after feeling emotionally tormented about the number of black men serving life sentences in our penal system. In April of 2005, she expanded her literary mission to incorporate an outreach program for African American youth that are, have been, or are on the verge of being incarnated. Realizing that our youth saturate their minds with urban lit., she felt compelled to spark intellectual thought about the consequences of making poor choices. Hood Rich places readers right in the black community where they can be a first-hand witness to the dangers that plague the minds of our impressionable youth. This dynamic novel, exposes how “fitting in” on the block for young black Americans can become a life of pain, struggle, or even death. Hood Rich, which means Hood Prosperous is an unconventional approach to teach at risk adolescence about the importance of self-empowerment. You can visit Crystal on her web-site www.crystalstell.com to review the scholarship guidelines or preview the first chapter of each novel. Be on the look out for the sequel to Hood Rich, entitled “Big Tymers.” Crystal also wants African Americans to embrace her motto in their day-to-day routines and soar to their full potential. “Read, Reflect, and Realize that life has Real Purpose” Crystal Perkins-Stell another bright light shining |
