Black Panther: WAKANDA FOREVER had me on an emotional rollercoaster. My mom died from liver cancer, so at first I was hesitant to watch the film. But I’m glad I did. I commend writer/director Ryan Coogler and his co-writer Joe Robert Cole. This was a fitting tribute to Chadwick Boseman and his portrayal of Black Panther. Honoring his friend and fellow artisan Chadwick was the right decision imho after seeing the movie.
I loved the art direction, the Telocan culture, the action scenes and Angela Bassett’s tour de force as Queen Ramonda.
Tenoch Huerta is so FINE. And what a good actor! There’s no way I’m not loving both him and Jason Momoa, y’all. So happy for each of them and I really hope Marvel adds Tenoch to several other upcoming films. Need to see more of this man!

My erotic paranormal cast:
Top left to Right: Pagan, Lilith and Ondine (witches). Middle: Karnage (gargoyle), Andre (werewolf) Yuri (vampire), Irina (vampire) and Ronin (warlock). Bottom: Makseem (vampire)
The Vampire crown prince Machiavelli “Mac” Faust and his royal bodyguards, Yuri and Irina.
Yuri is Lilith’s love interest. The crown prince Machiavelli Faust was introduced in a much, much earlier book called RAZHER, but that book is in the young adult genre:
RAZHER, the she-wolf from New Zealand. Also pictured: Mac the Vampire and Havoc the Gargoyle
After I released RAZHER on Amazon and prior to my mom’s cancer, I’d started writing an erotic interracial paranormal featuring witches, vampires and gargoyles.
The Hitman’s Vampire Bodyguard: IRINA, who also protects Yuri.
The Gargoyle Karnage Xian watches over the city
The inspiration for Karnage’s promo came from one of my favorite shows, LUPIN, starring Omar Sy on Netflix:

Here’s the original:

The Boys are based on a popular graphic novel of the same name.
Since I create ebook promos, I decided to give my trio of witches Lilith, Ondine and Pagan the graphic novel treatment. Here’s a sneak peek at Pagan’s comix:

Promo for the ebook SENSEI
Ancient China and multicultural Chinese citizens:
Multicultural Chinese citizens 1869
“China’s Qing Dynasty, established by the Manchu people who ruled from 1644–1912, is described as having been a vast multicultural empire. But it appears multicultural might also be a euphemism for multiracial. Nothing illustrates this better than the black and white photos taken by visitors from Europe in the mid-to-late 1800s. John Thomson, an Irish photographer, was one of the first to capture images that reveal a surprisingly more diverse makeup of then-contemporary China.”
After doing more research, I narrowed down the point in time I wanted to focus on. So while Pagan’s novel is paranormal fantasy, I’ve included real landmarks and ethnic groups in order to put a black woman in China during this period. Wuxia tales overwhelmingly feature characters of Chinese ancestry, however I enjoy the genre so much that I wanted to feature an inter-racial romance. There are supernatural elements in my story, which usually aren’t part of WUXIA but Xianxia (仙侠).
Still, I’m dubbing this “Black Wuxia.”
Pictured: The witch Pagan and her lover, Karnage
Simply put, Wuxia (武侠) is a genre of Chinese writing featuring the lives and adventures of martial artists. The stories are always set in ancient China, typically between the Tang and middle Ching dynasties (approximately AD 618 to AD 1800). The main attraction of the Wuxia novels is the myriad of powerful martial arts, or kung fu, wielded by the story characters.
I’ve created new visuals, some in graphic novel form to promote my upcoming ebook featuring 3 witches and their love interests.
The final promo is from my ebook “The Queen of Comedy” which is also set for release. The promo features 1960s comedian David Latimore and his wife, singer Contessa Earle.

Color me happy that the 2018 Grammy Awards nominated “Boo’d Up” in the categories of Song of the year and R&B song of the year. Honestly, Ella Mai should’ve been nominated in the best new artist category. The voters also recognized the talent of H.E.R. for album of the year, best new artist, best R&B album, song and performance. Another fave of mine, Maren Morris, is up for Record of the Year for “The Middle.”
Kendrick Lamar and Sza have also been nominated in the same category for “All the Stars” (from the movie Black Panther) along with Donald Glover’s “This is America.” It will be exciting to see which tune the voters choose.

This is my take on the dramatic “Power of Three” promos that are popular right now:
The black witches I’ve created in their “Power of Three” pose. It also shows their different styles:
From left to right: Elder witch Lilith, Pagan (middle) and Ondine (right). I’m not using the true title of the series, so I just used “witch” as a generic title.
Lilith – all dolled up
I create these promos as a way to advertise an ebook prior to its release:

Yay! Penny Dreadful is kinda sorta coming back!
Cast of Penny Dreadful: Josh Hartnett, Eva Green, Danny Sapani, Harry Treadaway and Timothy Dalton
Creator/executive producer John Logan has announced Penny Dreadful: City of Angels will be set in 1930s Los Angeles. Here’s hoping several actors from the original series will return, like fine as hell Josh Hartnett as wolfman Ethan Chandler:
Josh Hartnett as the fast gun/wolfman Ethan Chandler
Per John Logan: “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels will have a social consciousness and historical awareness that we chose not to explore in the Penny Dreadful London storylines,” Logan said. “We will now be grappling with specific historical and real world political, religious, social and racial issues. In 1938, Los Angeles was facing some hard questions about its future and its soul. Our characters must do the same. There are no easy answers. There are only powerful questions and arresting moral challenges. As always in the world of Penny Dreadful, there are no heroes or villains in this world, only protagonists and antagonists; complicated and conflicted characters living on the fulcrum of moral choice.”

Eva Green was magnificent as the tortured Vanessa Ives in the original series, which ran from 2014 to 2016 on Showtime.
Here’s hoping Sembene, played by Danny Sapani gets a second life. I also enjoyed Timothy Dalton as Sir Malcolm Murrary, Rory Kinnear as Frankinstein/John Clare, Reeve Carney as Dorian Gray, Billie Piper as Lily/Brona, but especially Russell Simon Beale as Ferdinand Lyle.
My own supernaturals:
The rebellious witch Pagan makes an entrance
Lovely and ancient Lilith among the crows
The belle of Old New Orleans, Ondine, summons fire
Or what I now call how I had to do some serious research on witch folklore, specifically on black witches. I’ll just add that the female witches I’ve created all have history spanning lives, in addition to supernatural soulmates.
I’ve also created new marketing promos for my upcoming black witches series:
PAGAN dressed in a modern sexy witch costume.
The witch LILITH is greeted by the vampire Yuri.
Pictured: The witch ONDINE and warlock Ronin Bey.
Lilith, Pagan and Ondine will also be featured in the ebook Long Ago and Far Away
Pictured: Lovers Joran and Mariah, from the time traveling erotic romance Long Ago and Far Away. Click the pic to read an excerpt.
They’re three very different witches with three very different paranormal males in their lives:
Lilith is an older witch in love with a younger vampire named Yuri:
Karnage is a Shíxiàng guǐ (Gargoyle in Chinese)
Karnage Xian – 3D Gargoyle body by Dwarvencurse
Karnage and his lover Pagan the witch.
Pictured: The witch Ondine, a Fire Necromancer, and the warlock Ronin Bey.

Ronin and Ondine in Old New Orleans
The lion is Karnage, as the gif below pays respect to the Chinese Lion Gargoyles (shí shī) that were created as silent guardians during the Han dynasty in China. They’re magnificent pieces of art, and I’ve incorporated their history into Pagan and Karnage’s love story.
Karnage as a guardian stone lion
I’d introduced the Xian gargoyles (Havoc and his dad Pathos) in my 2012 YA ebook titled RAZHER. Karnage is a major player in the sequel to that novel, which has a sneak peek up on Amazon from 2014. But since the story kept getting kinkier and darker, I realized the deleted scenes I’d created were more for an erotic romance featuring older characters.
The Imperial House of Xian
I’m narrowing Karnage’s final look down, so here are two more finalists:
This version of a gargoyle by Dmitry Parkin is a masterful piece of 3d artwork, and is a fave of mine:

As far as his lady love, the witch Pagan, this gargoyle enjoys seeing her wearing little to nothing:
But when royal duties call, Pagan’s right by his side, dressed to impress:

Ronin Bey is a warlock who fell head over heels for a beautiful witch. For daring to love a woman engaged to another mage, their romance has been cursed . . . for centuries.

I happened upon this wonderful painting called “Three Generations” by talented artist Melinda Byers:

So, I thought I’d try a digital paint effect on this promo for Ondine, Pagan and Lilith:
