Urban Noir

... of sex, scandal, and murder in the streets. Jaquez Montana a sensitive yet ruthless man trapped within the game, who was setup by both his wife and best friend. Incarcerated hundreds of miles away from NYC, he escapes to reclaim what is rightfully his, and deliver the dish that is best served cold, though not particularly in that order. 
You will be taken along for a ride of which nothing is as it seems, and no character can be trusted to stay in their lane.

While Jaquez was left for dead in the backward state of Alabama's non-justice system due to a set-up, Jaquez fell in love with who was then just a side piece, who happened to be the crime bosses daughter. Both Jaquez's wife Omari, and this mistress Marisa are voluptuous and thicker still respectively. 

 A story of dysfunction in the streets;
The language used is often vulgar, sexist, and very often offensive, with over the top swearing. Narration is less so. Similar to "Catcher in the Eye", or "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"'s styles, and already existing urban novella, there is language as I have experienced both on the streets and in prison. This colorful language is also used within the characters thought's inspired by Frank Herbert's "Dune".

This story is what I like to call QUASI BIOGRAPHICAL. The injustice of being locked up for crime I didn't commit, without process (DUE OR OTHERWISE), and the betrayal this time by the person other than your parents sworn to love and support you "in sickness and in health". Please check my story out and vote.

Jaquez is just as blunt, and seemingly shallow as many of the characters he is surrounded by (a product of his environment?). He is introspective to the best of his ability and education. He is aware of the "trap(s)" of the game(s) yet doesn't quite see the need to escape.

COMPLETED. "Look, if you're-" "Shut up." I was taken back at the sudden manner in which he spoke to me. "Let's get something straight Miss Greene, I don't appreciate people talking back at me. And quite frankly, you're crossing your limit with me and my patience with you. So from now on, as long as you're with me you'll do as I say. Understood?" _____________________________________________ Mystery. Romance. Deception. You know what they say, hate is a strong emotion- so is love.

"I call this one pain. And this lil one right here under his wing is suffering." "No offense, but...who the hell would wanna be reminded of pain and Suffering? If I was going to get something etched into my skin forever, I'd want something that would bring me joy." His grin bemused her. As if he expected her to contradict his moral logic. "True that, shorty. And I agree, no doubt. But who's to say my birds don't bring me joy?" Dumbfounded, Jett lifted her eyes from the silhouetted birds up to meet his tender gaze, stumped on how to answer his question. She shrugged with one arm, "Do they?" * * * Jett Jaletta has enough of her own problems. Unreliable family members that depend on her for everything, too many bills with not enough income. And a federal probation sentence that's held her hostage for the past three years. The last thing she needs is the drama that comes along with a handsome face, drama that could jeopardize everything she's working for - a liberating dance career. But Roman Carter isn't liable for the damage caused by his blessed good genes. As a matter of fact, his alluring appearance and its effect on the opposite sex is the furthest on his list of priorities. The recent murder of his only brother has left him unfocused, indignant, and irrevocably heartbroken. Well, he is focused on one thing...retribution. BlackBiirds is the intertwining story of two characters-who's deepest pains and struggles happen to be caused by the other person. Ironically, surrounding situations, dangerous rivals, and even their own family members cause these two to become tangled in ways they can't escape from. * * * BLACKBiiRDS is the rewritten, reworked 2.0 version of its former draft: Souled Out.

Being your typical young and naïve teenager, Devyn "Poochie" Young seems to be oblivious to just how dangerous the world around her really is. Never asking to be the daughter of Oakland's biggest drug lord, or for the troubles that come behind it, she soon finds herself falling in love with her father's savage, yet handsome protégée. However, their "fairytale" romance comes to an abrupt end when she finds out that he isn't who she thought he was. Faced with the reality of how cold and harsh the world really was at a young age, Kaseem "Chinno" Walker's life consisted of nothing but pain, loss, and constant suffering. With nowhere to turn, he did the only thing he knew how to. He married the hustle. However, after crossing paths with the boss's daughter, he finds himself contemplating a new First Lady. Their romance is short-lived after she walks out on him and he gets caught up with the law. However, upon his return, she is the first thing he has his sights set on. After all, there was no escaping that hood love. After the estranged lovers are reunited, they find themselves on one hell of an emotional roller coaster as feelings resurface and secrets are revealed. Will the couple be able to overcome the obstacles of the game and heal wounds presented by their past or will the lethal combination of love and the streets claim its next set bodies?
