Love is complicated.
My first published book, Moment of Truth, has gone through a few cover changes. The challenge of finding the perfect image to convey the heart of the story proved tricky. But I think I’ve finally hit upon the right one.
See all the different covers below and let me know your thoughts? Did I finally nail it?
New cover, same great story!

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 …
