RUSH, the story of a motorcycle gang member who falls for a Somali Bantu refugee is now live 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!”
