The Chronicles of She

Coming soon to Amazon‼️ _______________________________ Young aspiring singer Meeka dreams of a better life beyond the bullying and turmoil she faces on the streets, at school and from within her home, but her world still continues to be rocked by tragedy after tragedy. Living in the D.C's roughest ghetto holds no kindness for her and the Malone family. Her mother/best friend Angie is trying to hold their rocky family together. Her father Marcus is an alcoholic police officer with a bad temper, she and her ball smart brother Jordon are always caught in the middle of the drama. Not much love is shown with Meeka and her dad, something she longs for and wonders why Marcus refrains from their relationship. When Marcus is finally promoted to a new job as an officer, everything begins to change for the better for Meeka and the rest of the family. But when life begins to become perfect for her, Meeka's rosey world takes a nose dive into a dark hole of lies, deception, violence, betrayal, and secrets that she cannot imagine. Her once loving relationship with her mother weakens, Jordon becomes estranged and she is left to pick up the pieces. What comes next will be the final crack in her broken heart that she doesn't see coming. Sakaiah Reign & Solakin Publications Presents: Meeka Chronicles: Love Lies & Broken Hearts

Audra Russell speaks with horror author Justin Q. Young. When it comes to Justin "Q" Young, you might see the author of several best-selling titles on the surface, but there is so much more than meets the eye.  Young arrived on the literary scene in 2014 with the debut novel, Move Dat Doe. He took his career to new heights when he tapped into his erotic side with the best-selling series, Dickmitized. Making the transition from Urban Fiction to a female-dominated genre, Justin applied the simple formula of sex, dating, and relationships but emphasized the enhanced sex scenes with emotionally accurate characters that readers savored. Justin's creativity goes beyond the written word and includes painting, drawing, and graphic design.  In this episode, we talk about what it's like to be a Black man writing in a female-dominated genre, his journey through self-publishing, and what it means to be dickmitized.So sit back, relax, and enjoy!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=29642304)

He still resides in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York, where he delicately balances his time between his responsibilities as a single father and the challenges of being a full-time author.In interviews, one of the most difficult questions he’s been asked is, ‘What genre are your novels?’ because honestly, he never writes with any particular style in mind. He enjoys blending styles and mashing different genres together in interesting ways. Basically, he pens whatever is in his heart and soul. However, if he had to describe his style, he would use musical terms and say that he writes Urban, Hip-Hop fiction with the rhythm of Reggae that crashed into Heavy Metal and then began to bleed Neo-Soul. He calls it Alternative Urban Fiction.©We discuss his writing career and get in between the pages of Hurricane Love and The War Angel Trilogy.

"Beast" by Pepper Pace is one of the first independently published books I've read that featured a hero who wasn't physical perfection. I read the book and wondered how had she crafted something so, in my opinion, rich and moving. Instantly, I loved her hero and, like others, I had some issues with her heroine, but then I fell in love with her, too. I wanted the two of them to get together. Every time something prohibited or derailed them, I was totally emotionally involved and wanted that obstacle immediately removed!Often, when we read Romance, we look for a bit of a fantasy. A fantasy in the love, in the money and the people. More often than not, that means the heroes and heroines are people who are pretty physically perfect. Height. Weight. Whatever. "Beast" has people who many would consider imperfect. For me that is what makes them interesting.Join me and Pepper as we discuss her writing and why she chooses to write about these perfectly imperfect people.

Now in a relationship with a married man nearly twice her age, Anaya finds herself the talk of her small hometown as she relishes in the expensive gifts her boyfriend provides, including a luxury condo, expensive clothes, exotic vacations, and a customized Ford Mustang.

The two quickly find a connection, but their future happiness is threatened once secrets about Anaya's past are exposed.

www.OmarTyree.com , Omar Tyree, is a New York Times best-selling author, a journalist, reporter,poet, screenwriter, songwriter, playwrite, event host, lecturer, blogger, publishing consultant and literacy advocate, who has won a 2001 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literature in Fiction, a 2006 Phillis Wheatley Literary Award for Body of Work in Urban Fiction, and a 2010 HBCU Legends Award for his tiresome work in urban literacy. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he graduated from the prestigious Central High School in 1987, Tyree first attended the University of Pittsburgh as a Pharmacy major and an aspiring football player. After spending his first two years at Pitt, he found his new passion and a calling as a writer and a storyteller, penning his first published series, “The Diary of a Freshman” along with two novels; “Colored, On White Campus”, (now titled “College Boy” in his Urban Griot series) and “Flyy Girl”, which became a contemporary urban classic that spawned an entire genre of so-called “urban/street literature.” By the Spring of 1995, Tyree's activity had attracted the attention of several major publishing houses, including Simon & Schuster, where he signed his first two-book publishing deal for a six-figure advance payment at age 26. And as they say, the rest is his-story. Tyree went on to publish 16 novels, two short story books, and one non-fiction book on “The Equation” of entrepreneurship and business. To date, he has sold more than 2 million copies of his books worldwide, and has created a brand name in the publishing industry that has generated more than $30 million.
