Have you ever looked at your circle and wonder if the people in it are really down for you? That’s the question Ceasar constantly asks himself. In his eyes betrayal is a worse crime than murder, so think twice before crossing him.

Daquans’s was life was filled with what he considered to be normalcy. He is completely devoted to his wife, Aviana, and their son. But how deep does his loyalty run? Can he stay with Aviana when her past catches up with her, attempting to collect an unpaid debt?

Nolan is a prominent member of his family, but he’s also the only one who managed to make it out of the hood. His family looks to him for all type of assistance, including money, because he doesn’t have the heart to tell them enough is enough. Maybe it’s the guilt he feels from his secret that keeps him digging in his pocket for his loved ones.

Join us as we dive into these strangers lives to explore their inner circles. Lies will be told, secrets won’t be kept, and graves will have to be dug. Take this ride with us, and maybe you could answer the question, is blood thicker?

EXCERPTS

 

Excerpt One:

 

Daquan rushed back to his SUV. He grabbed his tablet and studied the app. It still said Aviana was at the school. There was nothing else to do but wait so that’s what he did. Thirty minutes passed and there was still no sign of Aviana. Just as Daquan got ready to pull off, someone came walking around the corner. At first, he paid them no attention. But they started towards Aviana’s car and instantly made Daquan watch them closer. He watched as they entered Aviana’s car. Although they dressed in all black Daquan knew that person wasn’t his wife.

 

The mystery person pulled off in Aviana’s car, leaving Daquan conflicted on what to do next. He quickly decided to follow Aviana’s Altima as it traveled through West Philly until it reached Upper Darby. The Altima pulled onto a small block and Daquan carefully followed. Soon the driver pulled into a driveway of a small house and shut the engine off. From down the block, he noticed the driver didn’t get out of the car. Slowly, he drove down the icy street, squinting his eyes at the Altima, hoping to get a look at the driver. No luck. There was no way he was going to be able to see inside with the combination of tint on the window and darkness outside. Instead, Daquan made a mental note of the house.

 

 

Where do you find inspiration?

 

My inspiration comes from my everyday life and I think that is the beauty in urban fiction. We write what is relatable. Urban fiction authors write about things we see in our everyday existence. We take a piece of the real stuff, throw in a bit of our imagination, and present our story to our readers. Because of this we are also able to be as original and free as we want with our stories.

My plots are inspired by things that I live through, but my family also play a big role in the type of characters I develop. I think there is a bit of myself in each character, but my family members also inspire them characters a lot. Sometimes I write down little sayings I have heard them say or something funny they have done and throw it in a story. I have a whole notepad full of things to use but I do tell them I’m going to use it and I never tell the world which family member that inspiration came from. Sometimes they say or do something then yell, “Hey put that in your book!” One day I would love to write something based off my family, but I think I want it to be or the screen instead of book.
