Welcome to my world...
Using the power of words to enlighten, entertain and encourage...

About me: I am the author of Shattered Souls (May 2007), From My Soul to Yours (Nov 2007), and Beneath the Bruises (Nov 2008) under Strebor/Simon & Schuster. I am also the self-pubished author of When Loving You is Wrong (July 2005), as well as a contributing author to the compelling anthology, Breaking the Cycle, the 2005 NAACP Image Award winner for Outstanding Literary Ficton.
And I am also the author of the novella The Goddess of Desire in Zane's anthology Another Time, Another Place which releases June 4, 2008.








Beneath the Bruises
A Novel

Based on the author's experiences working with offenders of domestic violence an extraordinary novel about one woman's courageous journey to discover her voice, strength, and dignity after drowning in an abusive marriage.

After suffering under years of emotional and physical abuse, Syreeta embarks on a search for the identity beyond wife and mother. Now, removed from that destructive relationship, she struggles to find out who she is and what she is capable of. With the help of her psychologist, Syreeta begins to expose the many scars that layer her soul healing the guilt, hurt, and shame that have alienated her from friends and family for far too long.

Syreeta discovers the many options life still has to offer her, and must find the bravery she possesses to heal herself, forgive those who beat her down, and move on to a fresh start in life. Beneath the Bruises is a riveting and empowering take of rediscovering one's dignity and exposes the devastating cycle of domestic abuse and a better understanding of its victims.

"A courageous African-American housewife and mother of five seeks freedom from domestic abuse in Birch's powerful ode to self-renewal (and his own work with domestic violence victims). an honest and inspiring novel." Publishers Weekly

"Dywane Birch does a commendable job piecing together seemingly unrelated phenomena in relating them to a greater, more troubling whole .For its uncomfortable honesty, its striking candor, and chiefly its unapologetic humanity, Shattered Souls is a highly recommended read." Apex Reviews

Dywane D. Birch is the author of Shattered Souls and From My Soul to Yours, and also a contributing author in the anthology Breaking the Cycle. A former director of an adolescent crisis shelter, he currently works with adult offenders of domestic violence and lives in New Jersey.

To all the adult fiction writers that expect love to conquer, this is for your enjoyment:
Kissing the Day!


The sun was kissing the day, laying its yellow lips on the skyline. She had told her white fluffy flurry little friends to scram that they were not needed today. She wanted the sky to be clear and blue and was determined to hold on to this day for an amazing thing had happened. True love was born she knew it was love they knew it too and everyone that was witness to it… knew it too, what they didn’t know was that it would last forever
So the Sun to the annoyance and exasperation of the powers that be was refusing to let calignosity have his due. You see many many years ago it was agreed upon that both would share the world but this day was different
There is so much bad in the world that today the Sun beaming in all her glory wanted the world to remember to commemorate the improbability of the growth of a new love born out of the apprehension and trepidation from all the horror stories one usually hears from this source this love was born
These two had met on the internet
Twilight once again winked at the horizon, but the sun just turned orange, from yellow in her determination. She shined her light on the lakes so that her glow would shimmer across the waters those on the docks were astounded that the sun sat so long children who dared to skip rocks were delighted. She peeped between city buildings casting effulgence and warmth even cheer to those who would accept it.
Just a little longer she whispered to Darkness knowing that he contrary to popular belief could be kind and gentle providing things like secrecy and ambiance. He too would understand the importance of true friendship which could and in this case would lead to True Love and with True Love comes True Peace and our world needs that
Then the two people broke their kiss but not their embrace and Sunshine was able to bless them with her warmth upon their faces she watched them both smile accepting lost in their own but joined thoughts Sunshine settled in and lowered herself below the junction of earth and sky she was witnessing happiness and decided that she would bless the world with her warm gentle face again tomorrow.
There is so much good in the world why do we only advertise the bad.
