How to Ruin a Good Thing (A Revealed Short)

I have a sneaking suspicion that this short story will not only provide a bit of clarity from another POV, but it will also assist greatly in anticipation of Book II: Atonement. With that in mind, make sure to leave...

Atonement

I think it is safe to say that we all understand–at least on a basic level–that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but are also very conscious of the fact that it is easier than one may think for things...

What’s The Point?

Along with the existential crisis that is activated at the ushering in of every new year, many people (this author included) find themselves reflecting about what was, what is to come, and what do our efforts, successes, failures, and aspirations Read more

Allow Me to Reintroduce…

Can you guess the pair? They are ancillary to my current project, but I am so enjoying seeing them come to life right before my eyes. Theirs is definitely a wild ride!

Not Every Woman

The words of Chaka and Whitney are indeed iconic, but today I reject the notion of everlasting and selfless resiliency in a melanated shade of Studio Fix NC45. Respectfully. From a young age, singing this decades old ode to feminine Read more

    The Story That Wouldn’t Stay Short

    When I first began creating Unexpected Allies, it was meant to be a short story; something intimate, emotional, and compelling enough to accompany my YouTube Digital Story Series. I wanted to give viewers a glimpse into a world filled with ambition, tension, complicated choices, and the kind of chemistry that quietly built until it can no longer be ignored.

    But somewhere along the way, Aisha Perriman and Ethan Hawthorne surprised me.

    Aisha arrived on the page with purpose. She is brilliant, determined, familiar, and deeply aware of what it means to enter rooms that were never built with her in mind. Ethan, at first glance, seems like the man who already belongs in those rooms—the expected winner, the polished future partner, the one the system is prepared to reward. Yet as their story unfolded, I found myself drawn to the layers between them: the friction, the respect, the questions of loyalty, justice, ambition, and what love looks like when it is tested by power.

    What began as a companion piece became something larger. I fell in love with Aisha and Ethan enough to give them the space they deserved—a full-length novel where their choices, wounds, victories, and connection could breathe.

    The video short of Unexpected Allies offers a first look into that world: a story where corporate ambition collides with betrayal, where being seen matters as much as being loved, and where two people must decide whether they are truly on the same side when everything is on the line.

    I’m so excited to share this introduction with you. You can watch the digital short on the Two Hearts by TM Channel on YouTube, and if Aisha and Ethan pull you in the way they pulled me in, the full-length novel is now available on Amazon Kindle (and yes, Book 3 of the Revealed Series is still underway!).

    Welcome to Unexpected Allies. I hope you enjoy meeting them. Again.

    Last year’s leisure reads were good stories that have allowed for great escapes.
    Now, it’s finally time to pick up a pen.
