5 Minutes, 5 Questions With…
J.L. Whitehead, author of Bruthas
(Four Brothers Publications)

What would you do if you were indirectly responsible for the deaths of several women in your neighborhood? What if a psychopath decided to use your hood as his personal stalking ground?

This is the story of three brothers: Jai, the successful attorney in one of Philadelphia’s top law firms, Ryan, the IT Professional that is struggling with his sexual identity and Nate, the dealer that has risen to one of the highest ranks in drug distribution ring based in a North Philadelphia neighborhood known as “The Block”.

A series of murders takes place in “The Block”, and nothing is being done about it because the women that are being killed are addicted to the product that Nate sells. Bruthas deals with family, loyalty, trust, honesty as well as police corruption and murder. Much like the winding streets of Philadelphia, Bruthas takes you on a roller coaster ride exploring the depths of addiction to the heights of family love and will keep you guessing until its climatic finale.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Bruthas?

J.L. Whitehead: The inspiration came as a result of not being able to obtain the promotion that I had been seeking with the company that I was Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… JL Whitehead, author of Bruthas →

Omar Tyree, author of Corrupted
(Omar Tyree, Inc.)

In an era where hundreds of aspiring writers play an anxious game of musical chairs to entice a shrinking group of New-York-based book editors to buy their freshly printed manuscripts and grant their dreams of becoming nationally published authors, Vincent Biddle reigns supreme.

Coined the man with the “golden eye”, in the past decade, Vincent, a native Bronx, New Yorker, has hand-picked, edited and positioned more than a dozen bestselling books from his stable of authors, while generating more than a hundred million dollars in revenue for the Williams & Klein Publishing Group.

With a tight circle of volatile authors in his midst, their every weakness soon becomes bait to be used against them, while their power-dunk editor assumes a position of absolute authority. And things fall apart around them.

Corrupted, a serial ebook of aspirations, fame, fortune, sex, shame and scandal, as Omar Tyree uncovers the dark, passionate and sinister side of the American publishing industry. Rated R.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Corrupted?

Omar Tyree: I didn’t have an idea or an inspiration to write at all. I wanted to play professional football with my life and become a business owner. I Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Omar Tyree, author of Corrupted →
