"Kaycee Jordan and Kendrick Thompson meet... over dog poop. Inauspicious beginning, sure but a quirk of fate throws them together and they start working side by side. As is wont to do in these types of books, passion grows but then is tested. The rela...more "

Thank you for your sweet comment. The MPire is not your everyday sci-fi. It is more like a family saga peppered with paranormal, the way we do it! You will enjoy it.

433961 Thanks for the comments. I will post my books shortly. I am an author so I wanted to fill the shelf mainly with my books. I am reading a few others and I did read lots of Eric Jerome Dickey and Michael Baisden, and a few others, I should post them. Good comment made me think (smile)
Anyway, how would I be able to get you to review one of my books????
by the way beautiful children.

164968 Hi Shawnette, your friendship is a pleasure... please do check out the new gripping novel, TUTUOBA, which is a better pageturner than any Harry Potter, while being very informative Afro-edutainment... however THE BLACKWORLD: EVOLUTION TO REVOLUTION is for a unique global perspective of the Black Race that is progressively empowering... nonetheless, please stay in touch...
One love but a million blessings,
Prince Justice

811952 I'm in full agreement with your support of AA authors, and not strictly and selfishly because I happen to be an AA author, plus I read a ton of books (mostly fiction) by black authors as well. But I also happen to have a goofy sense of humor who for some reason gets a kick out of giving a shout out to French Canadians. This should be seen as no offense to anyone who happens to be FC, by the way.

811952 Shawnette,
In response to your "About Me" Statement - "I am a strong supporter of african american authors. I just feel if we as a people don't support their effort to give us some reading entertainment and education, then who will!?", I believe that the only possible answer is the French Canadians. But I could be and probably am totally wrong about that? :-)

107301 What a fantastic list you have! I promise to let you know if I run into any treasures so long as you promise to do the same.

Also, if you happen upon Luthiel's Song in your travels I'd love to hear your thoughts.
