"Crossing paths once again . . ."

Colin Channer's Satisfy My Soul is the story of two
lovers, Carey McCollugh and Frances Carey, who just
can't seem to get it right. Told from the perspective
of Carey, this novel explores the intricate ways of
life, especially love and spirituality, for those of
African Caribbean descent. No tradition or food is
left out as the reader is given the tragic story of
Carey and Frances trying to find their path to love
via obstacles like religion, African heritage/roots,
and other minor personality clashes that come along
the way.

From their onset, Carey and Frances are anything but
simple characters. However, they are equals to each
other when it comes to the arena of "lovin' 'em and
leavin' 'em," when it comes to how they've treated
their previous partners. Like many couples, the
subject of religion serves as a touchy issue for them,
but by the end of the novel, none of that matters.
Kwabena, Carey's best friend, proves to be a major part
of the climatic ending, which ironically, is the
source of Carey's introspective outlook throughout the
novel.

As a woman of African descent living in America, there
were various aspects of the book that I could relate
to. After all, love is suppose to be a universal
subject, but some of the Caribbean slang was difficult
for me to translate for a true understanding of some
of the "inside jokes" that were depicted on the pages.
I would recommend this work of fiction to any reader
looking for an in-depth, poetic novel on
Afro-Caribbean love. If you're a die hard romance
fanatic, this book will more than appease you due to
numerous graphic love scenes.

A skillful blend of sexuality and spirituality

Colin Channer gives a skillful blend of sexuality and spirituality. Who knew the two were so closely related? Amazing how he makes them become almost one and the same. This book was such a beautiful story, and touched me in ways I can't explain. Satisfy my soul was an exciting adventure that should not be missed. You will be captivated, and you will not be disappointed. Colin Channer has established himself as a master in my book.

Carey McCullough is haunted by a recurring dream and a damaged past. But the more he tries to forget, the more uprooted he feels. Then, while in Jamaica, he crosses paths with a radiant woman who attracts him like a flame. Their undeniable attraction is much more than chemistry. As Carey soon discovers from a ?reader? of the spirit world, he and Frances share a history that has linked their souls for more than four hundred years. Though Carey views past lives with skepticism, he cannot explain knowing the language of an ancient African people?in particular the phrase: ?Mulewe anekoso kuduwe bana? (?I will search until I find you?).

Yet Frances conceals secrets of her own, with devastating consequences. And while Carey visits his best friend, a bond that was once thought to be unbreakable will be put to the ultimate test as startling truths at last emerge. . . .
