Arsenio Franklin I'm putting the finishing touches on a novel called Little Big Brother, which will be released in the first half of 2020. Here's a summary:

Charlie is like most high school freshmen: prone to embarrassing moments and little experience with the opposite sex (okay, none). Thank God his older brother can guide him through it all. Well, sometimes. The dead can’t visit on a whim.

DeAndre’s visits are the only things keeping Charlie afloat as he navigates his teenage years. But this blessing is also a curse, straining Charlie’s friendships and threatening to derail his wishful romance with Samantha. Before Charlie can move on he needs to know if he’s really communicating with his dead brother or if it’s all in his mind as his mother and therapists believe. The clock is ticking. DeAndre tells him he won’t be around forever and the grief is tearing at the seams of Charlie’s relationships.

An encounter between DeAndre and Samantha may provide the answer, and how Charlie deals with it will be the difference between keeping those he loves and losing them forever.

Arsenio Franklin The idea for Unholy Revelations has been in my head since college. I tried writing it twice before graduation but never got far. I'm not sure where the actual idea came from, but I've thought about it over the years and I finally typed it out.
