    When a book writes itself

    This is the third time its happened. The first time was when I penned The Stone Boy. Then it was the refugee/biker romance RUSH, featuring the motorcycle gang The Suicide Kings. It happened again with an upcoming ebook, and I can’t explain why it happens, but sometimes a story line, its characters and most of all, the scenes(dialogue and descriptions) are clear enough to type, and the pages soon make up a book.

    Readers, thank you for your patience. I’m gearing up for a roll out beginning this month. Because I’ve been busy writing, I’ll need to do some marketing. Part, but not all of the roll out will include free sneak peak promos with several chapters to generate interest. Advertising and marketing can sometimes be the toughest part of being an indie writer, so please keep on the look out for:

    Asian and African Male Appreciation Post

    Just trying to show some love to my Asian and African bruhs, who are still severely under-represented (and under-appreciated) imho, in romance novels.

    Crazy N Love

    First up is my new cover for the ebook RAZHER, the tale of an African American/Maori she-wolf who teams with a Russian Vampire and Chinese Gargoyle, to take on the corrupt elders of their respective species.

     

    Here’s my new cover for RAZHER. One of the changes is the addition of Havoc Xian on the cover, since he is in the book. Havoc is the younger brother of Karnage, who’s featured in NIGHTSTALKERS

    Excerpt:

    “Awwww suky suky now,” Keenan sang, nodding towards the entrance. “Looks like Cleopatra Jones just joined the party.”

    “Cleo who?” Joran could never figure out half the stuff coming out of Keenan’s mouth.

    “Just turn around, man. A fine lookin’ sista just came in. She’s Lupita Nyong’o and Halle Berry rolled into one. Don’t tell me you haven’t met Mariah Hawthorne yet, ‘cause she’s the best thing about this damn Arias Industries take over.”

    Joran was about to chug down more of his drink when his hand stopped in mid-air. It was like he’d been struck by lightning. The woman was of medium height, very curvy and wore a perfectly round Afro, as if she were a throwback from another decade. Somehow it worked for her, because coupled with her form fitting blouse and skirt, the 70s afro gave her an edginess that had all heads turning. The fact that she was positively beautiful probably had a little something to do with it.

    One thing leads to another

    And another, and still others as I work to build my own brand in the world of publishing.

    For example, the historical fantasy novel Long Ago and Far Away, featuring these two lovers:

    Spawned these sister-witches:

    An extended sneak peek of Long Ago and Far Away will be up on Amazon later this week.

     

    That book somehow inspired this novella on a young black woman raised by a religious cult, and how she’s instrumental in taking the leader down. Here’s a promo I’ve worked on for the novel:

    Look for the ebook CHERISH in May.

    Finally, I’ve got another book featuring an Asian leading man and an African leading lady. Nyesha is from Nigeria, and Takeshi is Japanese.

    Paranormal for the People!

    I’ve got another new release, this time in the paranormal genre.

    First though, Wikkid.Sexy.Cool books is now on Instagram. So I worked on a new promo for HUI that features the female lead, Imani:

     

    Promo for Imani_Love and ballet series1
    Ballerina Imani Fairchild falls for North Korean prodigy Le Jong Hui, in the interracial romance set in the world of ballet, titled HUI

     

    Paranormal for the people means stories that not only feature a variety of creatures who go bump in the night, but also inclusiveness and diversity in the world building when those beings are in human form.
