Da'Kharta Does A Freebie

Yo, it's the Resident Slightly Antisocial Socialite, better known as Da'Kharta Rising, setting up shop in Adonis' crib while they fumigate the cave.

Nah, just kidding. My cave isn't being fumigated. But I am here to talk about an oldie but a goodie, to give daps to National Short Story Month.

This was one of the first independent works I debuted, entitled Vocal Remedy.

The main focus on the story is the interaction between music teacher Mr. Choice and his favorite student Vaser. My goal was to leave a lot up to the reader's imagination to determine the health and/or convolution of their relationship.

To some, Vocal Remedy may read like an unorthodox love affair gone wrong.

To some, Vocal Remedy may read like a tale of unhealthy obsession.

To some, Vocal Remedy may be a tale as someone who tried the right way of handling things and as a result of that failure exercised a different method. 

Maybe you'll come up with a different conclusion altogether. The only way to know is to read the tale.

New Freebie Debut: Da'Kharta Rising

Hey Adonis, did anyone ever tell you that your Sapio spot smell like vanilla and sandalwood mixed together? If not, just letting you know it does.

So ... Adonis has been gracious enough to let me crash his spot while he's treating himself to a pedicure. 🤷 Men have to have nice feet too. That's all I'm going to say.

My name is Da'Kharta Rising. The main genres I dabble in are horror, psychological drama, and dark noir. My newest freebie "Apocawhat?", I feel, deals a bit more with drama mixed with a smidge of comedy.

Available on my site or AAPH Freebie Spot.

To get the ambiance of "Apocawhat?", imagine your most favorite food in the world that you've just run out of. You travel to the store during a time when it's typically quiet (for me, around 3 am at the 24-hour spot), only to see the parking lot at max capacity.

You debate if you should wait until later or just get the item, now that you're here. You decide on the latter to battle the craziness within.

For what happens after that, click on the links to read.

Cover Reveal; Concordant Vibrancy 4

Today the members of the All Authors Family are celebrating the cover reveal of "Concordant Vibrancy 4: Inferno", the fourth installation of the Concordant Vibrancy anthology collection.

First, the blurb ...

There is a universal fascination associated with passion―its defining element, fire, as well as the unseen. Yet how many dare to trespass beyond the final product, exploring the ingredients which keep it sustainable?

This is the traverse of the fourth installment of the Concordant Vibrancy collection, presented by All Authors Publications and Promotions, entitled “Inferno”. Nine phenomenal talents diverge under one purpose: the creation of literary works guaranteed to set the mind, heart, and spirit ablaze.

Stories included:

“Express-Oh” by Adonis Mann

“Not Always Like This” by Carol Cassada

“The Fireman” by Harmony Kent

“The Complications of Fire” by Beem Weeks

“Calliope’s Inferno” by C. Desert Rose

“Moxy” by Y. Correa

“Antipode” by Synful Desire

“The Chronicles of Aidan” by Da’Kharta Rising, and

“The Calefaction of Insight” by Queen of Spades.

Since January 2015 All Authors Publishing House has been exploring the elements of nature through the enterprise known as Concordant Vibrancy, an All Authors Anthology Collection.

Book One explored Unity under the theme question of "What elements contribute to the concept of unity?" The element being Earth. Through an array of tales, the authors explained what Unity meant to them.

Book Two examined Vitality. The theme question was, "What force drives your spirit?" The element was Air. Here the authors endeavored to answer the question with a combination of stories and essays.

Book Three looked at Lustrate using the theme question, "What embodies the composition of fluidity?" The element was water. Herein the authors spoke lucidly and clearly on what fluidity meant to them.

Book Four takes a peek at Inferno ... the element of Fire. It asks "What are the ingredients to a sustainable blaze?" By far the best of the collection, "Concordant Vibrancy 4: Inferno" is a demonstration of depth in thought and evolution in craft.

Now, without further ado and with great pride All Authors brings you the cover of "Concordant Vibrancy 4: Inferno".
