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.

Back in New York City, Seven was the seventh child. But here in Charlotte he’s number one on every ladies’ list. Even behind bars, he managed to sex a female corrections officier who lost her job and found herself pregnant. Now Seven is out of the pen and back on the streets. A small-time dealer with big-time dreams, he’s ready to take care of business – for his baby, his baby’s mother, his slammin’ girlfriend, and his empty wallet. But first, he’s got to play the game with the biggest pushers in town. He’ll be a soldier for The Man. Then he’ll rob the suckers blind before they figure out what’s going down. 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.
