There’s a lot going on from Charlotte to Miami to San Francisco — almost none of it favorable to Tommy ‘Fatboy’ Dupree. While one man is sleeping around with Tommy’s live-in girlfriend, another urges a psychopath to rob him for multiple kilos. These men are…his friends…which means the worst is yet to come. Alicia Anderson’s beauty is off the scales. The physically fit college student has a father who is a real estate mogul, so she could care less about a fat boy named Tommy who deals drugs. However, this new woman challenges him to give up the illicit profession and invest everything in a California real estate venture. Their serious love affair is overshadowed by his inability to hustle up enough money to walk away from the game. And although Fatboy has a few tricks in store for all his backstabbing friends, the DEA has plans to throw a nasty twist in his story. But Fatboy has even saved one last trick for the feds. This URBAN SUSPENSE threatens to bring the underground to the surface.

After five years in prison, drug dealer Jamal Stewart is becoming reacquainted with the perils of the streets. His rehabilitation, if any, can only be seen through the yes of his new love Dream Nelson, a middle school teacher.

With a criminal record, finding employment becomes a job in itself for Jamal. His best friend Dawg pushes him to contact an old cocaine connect. Dream attempts to keep him from the life of crime that eventually reels her in as well.

Living in a world filled with unprotected sex, violence, payoffs, disloyalty and drug dealing, Jamal becomes the focus of a man hunt. Vowing to never return to prison, he decides he will hold court in the streets. He soon learns how some things can be caught…without a chase.

This multi-plotted suspense novel will bring reality far too close to home.

Christmas in the Hood presents fresh talent alongside shining stars such as K. Elliot and Seth “Soul Man” Ferranti – all writing gritty tales that reveal what the holidays bring for naughty and nice who live by the code of the street. In “Secret Santa,” after her children’s Christmas presents are stolen, a woman has to decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to give them the holiday they deserve; in “Me and Grandma,” a senior sleighs more crack than candy canes to bring Christmas cheer to her needy grandkids; and in “Holiday Hell,” Noelle must raise $23,000 to repay a loan shark or her sister will become a ghost of Christmas past. True to the streets and true to the season, these stories will raise the holiday spirit in the heart of even the most-ghetto-hardened gangsta.

Sure, it could get him killed. But Seven knows there are things in life worth living for – and things worth dying for. And sometimes you can’t tell the difference.
