Solomon Love series

Love Never Dies Now Available. There are few things that excite me as much as creating something original.  The latest book I have given to the world of story lovers features African American history, werewolves, romance and crime drama all rolled up into one in this new book from my Solomon Love series called, Love Never Dies.   I did at least three different things for this book.  The first is I didn’t beg my friend Derek Ward to work with me again.  I created the character years ago but was afraid to do fiction without a writer familiar with the genre.  Derek is a great writer.  Secondly, I changed the cover from the piercing smoking blues man on the cover of the first two books and featured a representation of what I thought Magdalena would look life.  I had to change the cover design when it finally went to print because the original art I had created over ran If sex truly sells, we will see.  There is a raucous, not so safe for conservative folk’s scenes in this one. And finally, I had this one edited professionally at a high level so that the typo’s that snuck in…

The business of writing is more fun than the writing business.  It is exciting to develop a character and have them come to life on the page.  It is a thrill to hear someone read your story and share it in their own way.  That is what motivates me to do the needful marketing things that make you wonder if you are being a pest to those that already know you.  It is that hope that someone out there in the great unknown of the internet or maybe even someone you think you know shares your passion for storytelling, life or fantasy. One of my friends is a talented voiceover actor that no one knew about.  He bought the first copy of Solomon Love, “Where the Moss Grows.” And voiced the title poem I wrote.  I added a little video to go with it on my iPhone.  It moved me like the Muddy Waters song. Michael Aguilera nailed it in my “book” so take a listen to the audio from this video when you get a chance.  I created a poem for my main character that is the title of the first book. Another reader told me she was ready…

I love the fall of the year here in the Mid-Atlantic. Especially around the Halloween time. We start to see the Pumpkin lattes, muffins, and themed everything in the stores. It’s also the perfect time to do a book launch for the Solomon Love book number three, Love Never Dies. To make it fun, and memorable and fun. (so nice I did it twice) I am going to throw a series of Werewolf themed parties. Going to try to have a book signing at my friend’s shop in Annapolis, Maryland Third Eye Comics, and a couple of other places in the month October. I found a delicious whiskey too from Kentucky that I will have on hand. And we are just getting warmed up. I’m looking for cosplayers to dress like characters from the book, blues musicians and werewolves for these parties. If you are interested in cosplaying let me know. You’ll be the VIP’s. Did you know that I won first place at a community Halloween custom party when I was nine years old dressed as a werewolf? I got a wig from the Goodwill, cut out the eyes, nose and mouth. I put it over my face and…

If you want to write a book or have one already that isn’t selling let me give you some insight.  If you are doing it to make money then I have some sage advice from Thomas Edison.   This week I received a proof of two books I published through Amazon’s CreateSpace program.  I am excited about it.  It looks great.  It was a side project that I had to do like a drug addict needs a fix.  I gave up sleep and money I didn’t have to do this.  The story is one of many I have in my head that needed to get out.  A really good friend of mine who is also addicted to creating helped me make this happen. Derek is a gifted writer that works great with me.  He can do what I have trouble doing.  Together with the concept, composition and design we have made two short stories called Solomon Love.  I didn’t plan it but would love to make this a series. I do hope also that I can find people that want to buy the book.  In my dreams this will be a successful series that becomes a movie or graphic novel…
