Book Description:
In this fictionalized account, Money Mississippi, notorious for the brutal murder of Emmett Till has had a one hundred and eighty-degree turn from its old ways. A mile from the infamous Bryant’s Grocery and Meat Market sits a big shiny blue Walmart along an avenue populated with fast food restaurants and a Starbucks. Young black men with pants sagging walk along the broad sidewalks holding their girlfriend’s hands. No one bats an eye if the girl is blue-eyed and blond. At times a pickup truck bearing confederate flag license plates will rev its engine, but the young seem unfazed. A prosperous black population lives along the banks of the Tallahatchie River. Their ranks culled from nearby military installations and new industry. Still, taboos exist, and people remember the old Money Mississippi.
Jill a thirty-year-old white woman and Alvin, a seventeen-year-old black kid are having an affair. The relationship is as much about rebelling as it is about love. Jill enjoys rubbing her KKK grandfather’s nose in the tryst. Alvin like most young men has one thing on his mind. But he too is on a mission to resist his Grandfather’s teachings rooted in the old ways of Money. He sees Jill as a sexual conquest and to prove his grandfather wrong about white women and “light skin women.” However, Jill and Alvin are on opposite sides of the track. While Alvin comes from the more prosperous River Hill Estates, Jill lives in a housing project along side a swampy tributary of the Tallahatchie River. Her only future is Walmart and the pills she takes for PTSD brought on by a traumatic incident that happened when she was in the army.
Alvin goes off to college and leaves Jill pregnant with his child. He returns four years later with his bride-to-be and plans to take his child. What happens on his return will make you wonder if the spirit of Emmett lurks in the murky waters of the Tallahatchie.

Menagerie, book one

Lizbet Wood does, and this is just one of the things that set her apart. She really doesn’t understand how different she is until violence shatters her solitary existence.
While Lizbet seeks to understand why mother sought refuge on a deserted island in the Pacific Northwest, she comes face to face with the dangers her mother tried, but failed to escape. When her mother is gravely injured, Lizbet is forced from the island and thrust into a world even more complex and threatening than she could have ever imagined. A world where the animals have no say…or do they?
Declan’s life is on trajectory mode. He’s a star on East End High’s basketball team. He’s months away from graduation and has plans to attend Duke University. And Nicole has just invited him to her party…But the moment Declan meets Lizbet, his life is thrown into turmoil. She’s unlike anyone he’s ever met and the creatures she introduces him to will change not only his plans for the future, but everything he believes about life, science, and the animals surrounding him.

Lizbet Wood finally feels at home. For the first time ever, she has friends—human friends—she can trust, a group to which she can belong. Declan has drawn her into his circle and surrounded her with love.
But just as Lizbet begins to feel that her new world makes sense, everything changes. Including Declan. And the changes are frightening.
Friends can lie.
Dreams can deceive.
Certainties can shift.
Slowly, Lizbet realizes that maybe the most terrifying changes are the ones she’ll have to make to survive.

Book Description:
Nick “Snakehead” Gale walked away from professional fighting under dubious circumstances with no intention of ever returning. Years later, he’s a detective in a docile Florida community, when a former opponent – now also a cop – begs him to return to Palm Beach County to investigate a murder, as initial leads point to Nick’s notoriously close-knit gym. The more Nick learns of the young victim, an adult film star, the more he sees himself as a young fighter: hungry, ambitious and making the best of a life on the taboo fringes of society. Her untimely demise is all too personal, as he came so close to a similarly ugly fate.
Nick dives back into his fighting world to find her killer, where rapport with old friends is tense, but his old demons are quick to embrace him. A bitter rift has formed between his team’s coaches. His former best friend and sparring partner is harboring secret troubles, despite fame and fortune. And a gregarious, foreign prince has arrived to take over the fight promotion game in South Florida, surrounded by a coterie of intimidating guards from around the globe. After coming to the prince’s aid in a humorous encounter, Nick is invited on his yacht, where he seeks answers to his questions and finds nothing but trouble.
Nick is certain everything he’s seen is somehow related. Despite coming apart at the seams, the case has its hooks in far too deep to think of turning back. Working out of jurisdiction, he puts career, health and sanity at risk to confront his former mentors. Each step brings him closer to answers but pulls him deeper into a Devil’s bargain with the ferocious, yet self-destructive man he once was.
By the time he comes face-to-face with the killers, it’s a game he can’t win and a fight he can’t endure. Doom is inevitable. But that never stopped Snakehead inside the cage, and it won’t stop him now.
