August 24, 2008 by Daniel · Leave a Comment 


After partying and grindin’ in Las Vegas and clearing more than $100,000 and a bag of stolen diamonds, twenty-two-year-old Kennedy Sanchez, a beautiful street-smart single mom, and her cousin Nina fly back home to New York. Later that night, Kennedy gets a call that Nina is being beaten up by her boyfriend – again. Kennedy rushes over to help, but it’s too late: Nina dies in Kennedy’s arms after making her promise to take care of her children.

Stepping up to the plate, Kennedy soon becomes the mother of three more kids and moves them into a Harlem brownstone. She knows she needs to refocus her life, and gets her chance when she meets Chaz, a successful hip-hop artist who sees star quality written all over her. She’s offered the chance to become a rapper and leave the streets behind – or at least shift to another kind of grind. But once in the music world, Kennedy realizes that the setting may have changed, but the hustle remains the same.

TRIPLE THREAT by Relentless Aaron

August 8, 2008 by Daniel · Leave a Comment 

A twisted serial killer with a taste for cruel and unusual punishment is terrorizing New York. Tough-as-nails Bronx police officer Sissy Dickerson can’t hide her growing desperation to catch the so-called Pink Heart Murderer – and neither can her best friend and rookie journalist, April Davis. A story this perversely gripping could be the big break she’s been waiting for…

For Sissy, finding the killer is about seeking justice. For April it’s success. But for River Burlington – the Pink Heart Murderer herself – it’s all just a game… and if Sissy and April can draw any closer, she may just up the ante… and send them all hurtling toward an explosive climax that no one can see coming.
