    She tried to change the system. Now she’s questioning how far she’s willing to go to protect her people. 
    Atlanta is under siege. A new, deadly hallucinogenic drug floods the streets, pushed by ruthless cartels and ignored by overwhelmed police. Tamika, a devoted social worker, presents a real plan to clean up her city—but the mayor rejects her proposal. And when the man who killed her parents walks free, she realizes: the system wasn’t built to save people like her. 
    Then a drive-by shooting shatters her world again, and something ancient stirs inside her. 
    A powerful ancestral force awakens within Tamika, revealing supernatural gifts passed down through bloodlines. She’s chosen to become the next Warrior Angel, part of a hidden legacy charged with protecting Black communities from threats both seen and unseen. 
    Now, as the city descends deeper into chaos, Tamika must decide: Is it enough to fight within the system—or will she cross the line into something darker? 
    She hasn’t killed. Not yet. But the question looms over every choice she makes: 
    If killing one dealer could save a neighborhood, would it be worth it? At what point—if ever—is it not okay to kill, to save the lives of others? 
    🔥 Tamika: Warrior Angel is a heart-pounding, genre-bending debut full of ancestral power, spiritual reckoning, urban grit, and emotional truth—written for readers who crave bold heroines, real-world stakes, and the spiritual fire of a people rising.

    I rarely eat the food at my upscale Italian restaurant. Vampires need blood, not pasta. I crave the hunt, but I'm not a killer. A lady-killer, yes. There's something about the vampire in me that lures women. The only woman immune to my allure is my dearest and oldest friend, Lily. She helped me survive my transition to vampirism, despite also becoming a monster of sorts. Kind and full of life, Lily is everything I'm not. My unbeating heart wants more than friendship with the fairy, but I'm afraid to ruin our friendship. Besides, what would she want with a broody vampire?

    As a fairy, people rarely take me seriously. With my glow and wings, I understand why they look at me and think of Tinker Bell, not Aristotle, but the degree I'm working toward will prove them wrong. As if by some miracle, I think I may finally have a boyfriend, too. He's not the man I really want, but my vampire friend Lorenzo is off-limits. Besides, a human boyfriend may be a better choice since every woman in town isn't chasing him. If only my heart would accept that Lorenzo isn't the man for me . . .

    'There is nothing like the silence and loneliness of night to bring dark shadows over the brightest mind.'
    First published in 1820, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, an entertaining blend of comedy, romance and horror, became an instant classic and is one of America's earliest and most enduring short stories.
    
    Itinerant schoolmaster Ichabod Crane comes to ply his trade in the quiet countryside near Tarry Town and falls in love with Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter of a wealthy farmer. But her hand is also sought by local hero Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt who wages a war of pranks and practical jokes against the quirky outsider, who has become fascinated by the local folklore and spooky tales. Late one night, Crane finds himself on one of the most famous rides in literary history, accompanied by a spectral figure reputed to be a ghost searcing for his missing head… and is never seen again. The result of a prank? Or something far more sinister? You could cut this bit if you don't want to reveal the ending!
