My favorite scene from RUSH
RUSH, the story of a motorcycle gang member who falls for a Somali Bantu refugee is now live on Amazon.
The ebook RUSH is available for sale on Amazon My D’oh! moment: I have the US participation in Somalia listed as Operation Freedom when it was Operation Restore Hope.
I plan to correct that today.Okay, the edit is done. Now KDP has to update the Look Inside feature and the ebook itself.Here’s my favorite scene from the book:
Kerai, my second mother is watching TV in Ba’ba’s room. It is a bedroom they share at night, but it is his room when he comes home from work. She is very active, giggling and hollering at me to come in and close the door. “Aaliyah, what is it they are doing? He is having mani?”
On the TV, two people are rolling around on a bed. I sit down on my father’s bed, looking around the room at all he has. I did not know he enjoyed reading so many books. When I see the covers, they are of American celebrities with very big smiles.
“Aaliyah, watch them!” Kerai grabs my arm, looking over at me and laughing. “Oh, they are naked!”

Motorcycles. Money. Mayhem. RUSH Come for the romance. Stay for the storyline of a motorcycle gang member who tries to balance his love for a Somali Bantu refugee with his criminal lifestyle.
From the novel:
“All it took was a timid finger to graze over my balls and I had a surge of lust. I started pumping like I’d been energized. Aaliyah crossed her arms around my neck and held on for the ride of her life, because I was hitting her spot hard. How did I know it was getting good to her? Because for the first time she was matching me thrust for thrust and moan for moan.” – Aiden “Ghost” De Lucca of RUSH

RUSH – A Different Kind of Love Story
RUSH will be out any day now. I’ve created a few more promos with the title of the book strategically placed as a watermark on the first pix 🙂
Motorcycle gang member falls for Somali Bantu refugee in the ebook RUSH I’d wanted to write a book that featured a refugee for a while, but the pitfall with a character like Aaliyah is making sure she’s not a Mary Sue.

A Woman is a Weapon
That’s my tagline, and the very first sentence of my epic, Scifi multi-cultural romance QUEENSREALM.
In QUEENSREALM, the war between man and woman is inevitable. Once I started with a powerful opening sentence, a major stumbling block was the prose that followed, which had to be just as riveting. Hopefully I’ve succeeded in doing just that. I began writing this book a few years ago, left it alone, then came back to it.
While the novel is done, I need to release RUSH before I send out the full ebook of QUEENSREALM. My tentative release date is May 15th (I say tentative, due to the demands of my 9 to 5). Marketing for this book will be much different for me, since the genre will include African American fiction, scifi and urban fantasy.
I’ve woven published modern scientific theories into the story and current goings on so that the premise isn’t so far fetched. And its also because I do love actual science.
But it’s also a futuristic look at the military, and a bleak, dystopian tale. And there’s no fade to black sex scenes. Not even with the aliens. To read the first chapter, please click on the photo.

RUSH Week, the final excerpt
A scene from RUSH:
Scene from RUSH – Aiden and Aaliyah as teens, kissing in a field I need to stress that this is an edited photo. I wanted to duplicate a scene from the book, so I manipulated purchased images to do it.
Aiden DeLucca from the ebook RUSH. Older and wiser, out of jail and out of time. Final Excerpt:
AIDEN
Most days I only went to school when I felt like going. Sometimes I went just to keep warm and to be in the mix with kids closer to my age. The city had built a new high school that could hold two thousand kids. We had security cameras and computers in just about every classroom, but we were still the lowest performing school in the county.
Sometimes I’d pass a couple of them Somali kids in the hallway, but I could never get ’em to look me in the eye. I wasn’t sure if the girl I’d seen would be in with the ones at my school, but one day I was going up the stairs and a bunch of ’em were coming down, and while the ones in front were chattering away I saw her, the same girl who’d been playing in the snow.

Just for RUSH Week: Another excerpt
I’ve got another excerpt from RUSH:
RUSH – For her love he’ll take a stand 
AIDEN:
The very first time I saw Aaliyah it was snowing. I had to go out and shovel in front of the clubhouse because Turk didn’t like snow blocking the door. A bunch of women who looked like big ass penguins were running after some kids that were trying to catch snowflakes in their hands and their mouths.
