Born in the streets of Kingston, Jamaica, Isaiah's life was never meant to be easy. After the tragic loss of his mother, he's sent to America to live with relatives who barely understand him. Alone, hungry, and forced to survive, he finds guidance in Coco, a fellow Jamaican who shows him the ropes of hustling in a foreign land.
But survival comes with its own dangers. Isaiah takes a security job for a wealthy family, only to be drawn into a web of temptation, betrayal, and violence when he crosses the boss's wife. One reckless choice sets off a chain of events that threatens his life, his freedom, and everything he's worked for.
Framed for crimes he didn't commit and trapped in a system designed to fail him as a Black man, Isaiah must fight not only for justice but for his very survival. With only a persistent rookie cop and the loyalty of an old friend on his side, he must navigate corruption, deceit, and danger to reclaim his life.
A gripping tale of survival, betrayal, and resilience, The Man From Kingstone is the story of one man's fight to rise above the chains of circumstance - and the mistakes that almost destroyed him

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete
