Dear Guest,
Thanks for stopping by! Welcome to the online home of UrbanEdge Publishing! In case you don't know much about us....UrbanEdge is a small, traditional publishing house based in Georgia. We're not a vanity press and authors are not charged up front fees for their book to be published. Authors receive competitive royalty rates and play an integral role in the development of their book as it moves from manuscript to finished product.
UrbanEdge is a small publishing company that operates like a close knit extended family. We're a team. Our authors support one another, communication is our first priority, and diversity is embraced at all times. Our authors represent a variety of life experiences, backgrounds, and interests - it's what makes us unique; what bonds them is a fierce passion for what they do.
UrbanEdge is not just about contemporary fiction, urban fiction, or non fiction. Instead, we would rather say that we are about the business of books - good books - life changing books.
UrbanEdge publishing only takes on projects that we believe in 150% - nothing less. We are striving every day to build a solid foundation for ourselves in the publishing world so that 10, 20, 30, 40 years from now - we'll still be right here!
For the Love of Books,
S. Alexis Anderson

About Skyy
Skyy Banks is excited to announce the release of the 2nd edition of her debut novel, Soul on Fire. Before Soul on Fire, Banks shared her works with the world through free-lance writings. She is a native of Arkansas who now calls Atlanta, GA her home. Banks enjoys reading, writing, and traveling.

Synopsis
Dana Taylor is 29, a beautiful, well- educated, rising star in corporate Atlanta. Dana lives life on her own terms, no matter the cost. She can have any man she wants, and often finds herself in the throes of one unhealthy relationship after another. Not until she has retreated into the emotional shelter of various "unavailable" men, ruined a marriage, and jeopardized a friendship does she look inward to find the source of her self-destructive behavior. To reclaim herself and find redemption, she must unlock the demons of her past and confront those that stole her innocence. Soul on Fire chronicles one woman's journey for inner peace and happiness; neither of which comes without a price.

About Patti
An author, ghostwriter, and editor, Patti McKenna’'s debut book, Caution: Children Should Come With Warning Labels, was recently released by Urban Edge Publishing. This humorous and sometimes touching rendition of parenting adds to her other published works: In October, 2007, her story about her mother’s fight with cancer was published in Voices of Breast Cancer (LaChance Publishing), a book of anthologies written by people who have been affected by the disease. As a co-author, Chicago’s WGN Talk Radio included her on a panel during their breast cancer awareness special. She’s also penned feature articles in print magazines and ghostwritten books which have been published by John Wiley and Sons and Morgan James. Patti is also a lyricist who has had several songs published.
The mother of four daughters, Patti spends her days as a freelance ghostwriter and editor. With experience in the legal, educational, and health fields, she has a vast and diverse background in some of the largest industries in the nation. She lends that experience to her creativity to write for keynote speakers, professors, attorneys, actors and Olympic medalists.
Patti lives in Kankakee, Illinois, with her husband and children. She is currently working on her second book, also about children, entitled The I Infection. Her hobbies include writing for fun, reading, golfing, gardening, and attending her children’s sports events.
Caution: Children Should Come With Warning Labels is a humorous and realistic perspective of parenting based on the author’s true experiences. Parents of all ages will find themselves laughing out loud or wiping a tear as they relate to the funny and touching moments that reveal there’s no such thing as perfect children or perfect parents. It’s a must read for parents of all ages!

Excerp
He is caring yet condescending—full of kindness but lacks the compassion to understand what his peers experience everyday. His booming voice and sharp tone command authority but offer little in return. You have to earn my respect, his face seems to say as he thoughtlessly floats through the crowd of mimicking ants that scurry around the building. With his sepia skin and curly brown hair, one could almost miss him. But when you see his mahogany eyes accentuated by the creased coolness of his clothes, you're hooked. And he had caught me. I don't even know his name...
Reegan lost herself. The moment she grasped sight of the mysteriously handsome gentleman with the striking, cold eyes. Everything told her to avoid Jackson —to walk away, but she did not. She fell in love despite her resolve not to, ignoring his dishonest silence and the intimate night he spent with her childhood friend. Impetuously, Reegan relinquishes her home, career, and comfort to join Jackson in Atlanta, only to be greeted each morning with calls from the ex-fiancé who once occupied her space. As Reegan contends with the reality of her decision, she continues to harbor a secret from her best friend that ultimately challenges the stability of her friendship. Beautifully composed, Chasing Eden is an intricate novel of love and relationships and the wonderful ways they influence who we become.
