Jungle Beauty Goddesses
Book Series
by C. G. Sturges
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Fantasy, Erotica
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB – PRETTY BLUE
BALL – BOOK ONE:
If
you were given planet Earth as a gift to develop its life forms—would the world
be a better place than it is today? What would your primary expectation and
goal be for each human? Would you give them free will or plan their destiny?
Would you demand that your humans worship you as their creator? Would you be
available to assuage their every desire; and acquiesce to their demands,
prayers, and wishes? Would you grow to resent them for living the life you
imagined?
The
Jungle Beauty Goddesses were free-spirited goddesses who enjoyed their freedom
as the youngest children—and the last deities born to their parents—creators of
the universe. Per the family tradition of being awarded a planet, the
septuplets were given planet Earth as a gift for their birthday. Their
siblings, also gods and goddesses of the universe since the beginning of time,
warn them about the challenges of selflessness, power, worship, and divine
duty.
The
seven sisters struggle to maintain their own freedom as limitless beings, while
sibling rivalry makes it difficult to accept their collective duty to fulfill the
family obligation to the deity-hood as creators for planets.
The
entire universe threatens to collapse due to their negligence and disobedience.
They question the boundaries of their divine powers as they ponder whether it
is possible to mold a being to be superior to its creator.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB – AQUATIC
BALL – BOOK TWO:
Sometimes
your worst nightmare is having everything you ever wanted. Upon visiting planet
Earth, the Jungle Beauty Goddesses discover that the life forms they created
are in danger of extinction, and an unforeseen dominant species has positioned
itself to take dominion.
Unprepared
and disillusioned about how to access their highest vibrational frequency; the
Jungle Beauty Goddesses face their own demise.
The
only way they can save themselves, their planet, and ultimately the universe is
by managing to align with their deity powers and the wisdom of their highest
selves in the face of their worst fears, disappointments, and betrayals.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB – DIRTY BALL
– BOOK THREE:
If
you had the power to make anyone in the world fall in love with you—would you?
Jungle Beauty Goddess Afar revokes her deity vows and takes her destiny into
her own hands by participating in the life she was born to create for others.
Afar
embraces the deepest, darkest nuances of her shadow self with brutality,
dignity, and integrity. She brazenly unleashes the murkiest qualities of the
human condition and leaves the chaos for her unsuspecting sisters to clean up
or suffer the consequences of losing the planet given to them by their
parents--creators of the universe.
Jungle
Beauty Goddess Afar’s actions give a new meaning to the saying, “Hell has no
fury like a woman scorned.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT THREE:
Nebula
lifted the soup spoon out of the pot, so swiftly and ferociously, that she
shoved Namib and Sinai to the side. Nebula charged Dematter with the spoon in
her hand. She frantically beat him in the chest with the spoon, as she yelled,
“You have destroyed this family. I hate you. You animal! You beast! You are not
a creator—you are a destroyer. You are evil. I hate you. You are the devil! You
took my babies from me and I will never forgive you for that. You monster!”
Nebula
alternated beating Dematter in the chest with the spoon with kicking him.
Dematter’s massive chest withstood every punch. While Nebula was beating
Dematter, he thought to himself, that he would rather feel Nebula beat him
--than not have her touch him at all. He would rather hear her angry words
curse him-- than not hear her voice at all. He would rather know that she hate
him-- than to have never known that she had once loved him. And he would rather
feel her pain-- than feel nothing at all.

GUEST POST:
Do You Ever Wish You Were Someone Else? Who?
I
have never wished that I were anyone else. However, I have wanted to change
things about myself. I asked my father to paint me white, when I was a little
girl. My daddy asked me why didn’t I want to look like the people who love me
the most in this world. I responded to him, “Daddy, everybody hates Black
people.” My Father cried. I was always teased about having dark brown skin by
the other children, however even the adults would say, “You are pretty to be so
dark-skinned.”
What’s
ironic about not liking my skin color growing up is that the color preference
for light skin was perpetuated in the African American community—the factor
that made me “Black” made me the wrong shade of black. Too black be beautiful,
and not black enough to be African, I felt isolated growing up. In my Jungle Beauty Goddess book series, Afar
is the fairest sister of the septuplets and she wants to be dark like her
sisters. She is obsessed with how looking different makes her feel inadequate
and less attractive than her sisters.
I
have been seriously contemplating changing my birth name. I looked up my name
on name analyzer site and every single thing they said about me is true. If I
change the bad qualities about myself, I wonder if this will eliminate or alter
the good things about myself?
I
pondered how this would affect my relationship with my ancestors and my current
relationship with my family, children, significant other, and the students who
register for my classes based on my twenty-year reputation as a psychology and
sociology professor. I thought about changing my name on all of my degrees and
books that I wrote over 20 years ago-- thinking maybe this name change will
open the door for more lucrative opportunities. I honestly don’t know if I have
the inner power to change my basic nature of overspending, succumbing to spells
of self-doubt that causes me to move from project to project, and giving in to
limiting beliefs and negative thinking patterns that take so much time to
recover from.
I
plant seeds for new ideas because I am super ambition, but I dig them back up
with impatience and negative thinking because they aren’t growing fast enough.
Either I drown the idea in its inception from too much water trying to get it
to sprout faster; or I become disheartened
because it is not showing signs of sprouting so I completely neglect
it-- leaving it wither from lack of
water by moving on to another idea.
My
name is a combination of everything that is good and bad about me-- my
personality quirks and traits that make me uniquely who I am. My primary fear
is that what is bad about me is preventing me from accomplishing what is best
about me.
