Happy National Black Authors Day!
Even after the start — and stop — of using labels like #OwnVoices, and the increased effort for diversity across literature that began in 2020, publishing maintains its cis, white status quo.

Pre-Order Alert – Flames of Wrath
#thriller #suspense #mindgames #jlcampbell
.
A mother’s quest for justice turns into a race against time to stop insidious murders that mysteriously begin populating throughout the city. Fans of Lisa Jewell and Ruth Ware will be enthralled by this emotionally chilling thriller.
The need to right a wrong against an innocent victim triggers a hailstorm of revenge.
In less than twenty-four hours—before Alexia Leighton is scheduled to return to Miami from spring break in Jamaica—a group of friends betrays her in a grisly assault that stops a heartbeat away from murder. The seventeen-year-old prays for the mercy of death. She survives.
While on the road to recovery, Alexia’s attackers become victims of mysterious acts of violence, leaving authorities confounded and racing against time to prevent another deadly attack. Concern looms, as the perpetrator has proven to be two steps ahead of them at every turn.
When the attention swings to Alexia’s mother, a cyber-security expert, the family closes ranks. Geneva Leighton must quickly eliminate herself as a suspect, but not without handing down more punishment.
The offenders fear for their own safety and the secrets that plague them. Can they trust the police to find the killer before someone else dies, or has their fate been sealed—leaving them with no place to run, and no place to hide . . .

Congratulations Shakir Rashaan!
Congratulations Shakir! 
The next epic journey begins August 29th!
Now presenting the NEW cover art for NEVERWRAITH, the first book in Shakir’s newest series.
Here’s the quick pitch of what to expect, in Shakir’s words:
“Neverwraith is a YA Paranormal Fantasy about a teenage descendent of an ancient metahuman bloodline who searches for the truth about the death of his parents and their connection to a centuries-old blood feud over sacred texts contained inside of his native Kindara, an island nation located near the West African Coast … all while navigating high school.”
“As I mentioned in the teaser post last week, the first book in the series will focus on my main character, Yasir Salah, as he has to make a rather hasty move to live with his uncle in Oakwood Grove, GA, a fictional town outside of Savannah. He has to make a few adjustments and deal with the challenges that come with being the “new kid on campus” again … except there’s something about him that the kids at Oakwood Grove High can’t quite place their collective fingers on.”
“Now that things are solid with the cover art, I can’t WAIT for you to meet Yasir, Zahra, Uncle Xavion, Mama Johari, and everyone else who swirls around my most intriguing leading character yet.”
Make sure you add Neverwraith to your TBR pile on Goodreads so others can see what all the fuss is about …
