Jason and his little brother Darius were born into the dope game. After being left to fend for themselves on the streets, they met George, a high level heroin supplier.

They quickly blow up. Things get to crazy for Jason, so he quits his day job as a dope dealer to become DJ. As DJ Jay-Roc, he lands a dream job at the biggest hip hop radio station in America. It came with a price…

Darius goes on to become D-Boy – one of the biggest dope dealers on the East Coast. When he finds out who George really is, he realizes there is only one way out of this game.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write American D-Boy?

Alah Adams: I got the inspiration to write American D-Boy from the real Rick Ross story and Hip Hop in general. I dedicated it to the late great Jam Master Jay, one of my favorite DJs.

Meet Lauren Wilcox, the original “Queen of The Lou.” She’s blessed with great beauty, phenomenal writing abilities, sex skills out of this world, and that platinum “good-good.” This is also her curse. She uses her body, her skills and her beauty to get what she wants and to ease her heart of stone which has been broken over and over again.

She meets her match in Gino, a love sick gangster. As they grow closer and their love becomes stronger, their past, their old enemies and their friends will do anything necessary, including murder, to keep them apart.

JoeyPinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write The Show Me State?

Sherrod Tunstall: I got the inspiration to write The Show Me State after writing my debut novel, Spicy. I loved the bar scene I did with Lauren and Gino in Spicy. I just had to continue their sexual chemistry and give them their own story. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Sherrod Tunstall, author of The Show Me State →
