ancient Ethiopia, I found myself, once again, utterly engrossed in the
heart-pounding odyssey of Dawit, Jessica and their daughter, Fana. Her
storytelling is at once intimate and wholly epic. Her characters, though
otherworldly and supernatural, are profoundly relatable and eerily familiar." --

the author of the Essence Best-Sellers Hoodwinked and In Cahootz

Stained Cotton (Triple Crown Publications Presents)
Verdict: Alternating between first-person narratives and the third person,
Carter s no-frills prose depicts a thug s mindset in a no-holds-barred world.
Marked by hard-core, brutal sex scenes, this gritty tale is not for the
squeamish, but the author s name will stir patron demand. Background: Qu ban is
a Kansas City, MO, crime figure and takes nothing from anybody, including his
main woman, Lady. When she drunkenly borrows his black-on-black 72 Cutlass for a
cruise, Qu ban grabs her in a choke hold. After their fallout, Qu ban hooks up
with several different women, hitting them for quick sexual releases and moving
on. Carter crowds his story with setup after setup, but Qu ban learns it s
difficult, but not impossible, to extract revenge from inside a prison cell.
--The Library Journal
