I’m almost done with Avarice 😁. I reached my 40K word goal today and I estimate that it’s gonna be about 50K words total.

Three chapters are getting posted throughout this weekend. Here’s the link to check it out:

A trope graphic of avarice including: Jumanji inspo, anti capitalism allegories, child hood friends (for now), hero arc, and corruption arc. It’s a black and yellow color scheme with fog at the bottom. The cover has a spooky tv on it gold pains controllers and it’s based in a dark forest. The title looks like dripping golden ink.

Hey guys! So my book Conquer is only $0.99 for today only! Go ahead and get you a copy before Conquer: Upheaval drops this June 😄
Tropes in Conquer: found family, banter, complicated characters, multi-pov, strong Black FMC, Reluctant partners to lovers Synopsis of Conquer: When people awoke special abilities because of the bad things others did to them, it changed everything as they knew it. Xandria’s time, life and memory are haphazard in nature but so is her mother. Xandria could either run from her or X can find her before she does. Either way it is a task too big for X to handle on her own though she would rather it be so due to past experiences. Encountering four people with stories of their own, she offers to teach them how to use their supernatural abilities in exchange for helping her deal with her mother-dilemma. Meanwhile, they are hiding and running from Biology and Trauma labs or BT; the people that patrol their city searching for people like them. Knowing this they have many choices. They can run, they can hide, or they can fight. They can do so together or apart…They can do things the right way for wrong reasons or the wrong way for right reasons. Overtime this may change as they grow, get worse, better or repeat. Though before they become somebodies, they have to know that they are somebody. They have to conquer their flaws within themselves and with each other before They learn what it means to Conquer.

I have a Jumanji inspired paranormal thriller read for you! New Chapter uploaded on Avarice! 🖤🥀

The Blurb for Avarice with the cover beside it. It shows a hand with golden finger tips behind a screen with a spooky ghostly figure on it. There’s trees surrounding the hand and game controllers below the screen: the blurb says this, (Jumaji inspired thriller story) Quarantine in 2020 was the perfect time for a game like Avarice to consume the void of boredom that lurked at this time. It was a way to get rich quick for the small price of a soul. Four gamer-friends in the city that was eerily quiet, ventured down this path. They fell into Avarice's trap and paid the price for their monotony bred curiosity. Who craves the riches of a billionaire the most? How much of their souls will it cost to let Avarice eat them alive? TW: some violent scenes and a little gore.

The cover of This End In Embers by Kamilah Cole. It had a silver dragon and green dragon on the cover encircling a Black girl with braids and the silver one is breathing fire.

So this is now my current read and I wanna share this quote with yall.

“That’s how it works. Convincing us that we’re alone, when the truth is we are surrounded by people trying to break free too.”

So I think I’m really gonna enjoy this series and I’m only 39% in and I bought it this morning.

2 (going on 3) years ago I stopped buying and posting white people’s books. I was pissed that there was little rep for us. A lot of times that rep is done poorly.

If I had to guess I’d say I read about 90 books and counting by BIPOC authors since then.

I’m one of them.

Go ahead and get this book. Also if you can print as many slave narratives as you can ( might delete this later)

Also leave a thread of books that we should read given the current circumstances.

Hey #booksky. This is my book shelf and this is my book.

I read BIPOC author’s books and my favorite genres are fantasy and dystopian. I dabble in the romance, thrillers and mysteries. I read indie authors books the way I read trad authors books. Hoping to find my super niche community here.
