Are You Ready for a New YA Fantasy Series?!

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 …

New Release Alert – Growing Up Joplin by Kadesha Powell

✨✨✨NEW RELEASE✨✨✨
In Growing up Joplin, Kadesha Powell vividly brings to life her obstacles and triumphs while being raised in a predominantly white, Midwestern town. The constant struggle with racism and deep-rooted micro-aggression in the educational system, workforce, and her personal life, chipped away at her self-image.

For far too long, she allowed others to shape her identity and limit available opportunities. A range of cultural experiences allowed her to see the beauty of the world around her and within herself.

Growing up Joplin is the emotional journey of a feisty, energetic, and talented Black woman, who has bloomed into something much more than she ever dared to dream possible.

New Release Alert- From the Projects to a Ph.D. by Dr. Vanessa Howard

This new Release is a must read. Here’s the synopsis:
.
It came in a white mist which left death in its wake. Children playing in the St. Louis streets inhaled the clouds and embraced the cooling mist as it danced around our bodies. Who would have thought that these mystical veils were part of a diabolical government plot that had the potential to destroy our hopes and dreams?
,
Dr. Vanessa Howard’s book From the Projects to a Ph.D. discusses humble beginnings, challenges in pursuing higher education, and the determination needed to succeed. You will be inspired by the resiliency of the human spirit, as she shares personal insights, and experiences of racial inequities that shaped, but did not define her life.
