Love's Troubadours - Karma: Book One tells the story of Karma Francois, a thirtysomething California-born BoHo BAP (Bohemian Black American Princess) with Louisiana roots and urban debutante flair. The book shows how a woman uses therapy, yoga, meditation, art, music, poetry, and support from family and friends to confront the effects of her poor life choices and embrace a spiritual journey of healing and love. The book was published by iUniverse, Inc. and is available on Amazon.com, Barnesandnobles.com, Borders.com, Target.com, and Bookamillion.com.The novel was written to encourage self-discovery and healing, celebrate poetry and jazz, cultivate financial literacy, illustrate the diversity of loving relationships (straight, lesbian, and gay), emphasize the importance of yoga and meditation practice, and develop HIV/AIDS awareness. It was also written to celebrate Black history, art, culture, and music; Washington, DC neighborhoods such as U Street, Shaw, Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle; and the cultural connections that African Americans share with Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, and Latin America.Contact Information:Ananda Kiamsha Madelyn LeekeKiamsha.com, LLCkiamshaleeke@yahoo.comhttp://baplivingforbapsandebw.ning.comwww.talkshoe.com/tc/18598www.lovestroubadours.comwww.youtube.com/kiamshaleeke
