This is the story of how a young Brazilian girl ran away from a child molesting uncle in the poverty stricken Favelas to become the most powerful woman in the United States as a Madame in the underworld of sex for money.

“Simony Chiavary 2.5” is the 3rd installment of a 4 book saga called the “Poet’s Pursuit of Pleasure” series. This book personifies the pleasure, pain and persistence of a strong woman coming of age. This book is also the culmination of everything we love in a great story.

Written like a feature length poem, the writing represents what would happen if you mashed the movies “Sin City”, “The Thomas Crown Affair” and “Love Jones” all into one film and had it directed by Quentin Tarantino. This is an adult version of a “Which-Way” or “Alternate-Endings” book from our youth, where the reader decides the actions of the main character while reading.

This book has 5 different endings which are decided by the reader. You can choose Destiny, Fate, Love, Religion or Money. Each option is followed by its own separate story that follows Simony’s life that the reader chose to follow. So find a quiet spot, hold on to your butts and enjoy.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Simony Chiavary 2.5 (Poet’s Pursuit of Pleasure)”?

LaMont A. Wright: Simony Chiavary was a scene stealer in the first 2 books of what was originally supposed to be a trilogy. However as the story developed a life of its own, her story became critical to tell. Because the story of how Simony Chiavary grows up and comes into power drives everything in the 3rd and final book of the series, the story of Simony ties book 2 and 3 together. Thus “Simony Chiavary 2.5” is called 2.5. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… LaMont A. Wright, author of Simony Chiavary 2.5

In the spring of 1968, Lia is 15-years-old when her Italian-American family decides to leave Brooklyn for their dream home in the suburbs. But Lia is reluctant to pull up roots and go anywhere, especially to some godforsaken Jersey town.

“I would rather thrive in the grime of New York than be plucked from my roots and transplanted in Nowheresland, just to wither away and die. I swear this is the kiss of death.”

“Just Another Sunday” is a compelling five-year snapshot of one woman’s life, taking us through teenage angst and rites of passage, new love and broken hearts, friendships and betrayal, triumph and tragedy, and one family’s struggle to cope with the inconceivable.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Just Another Sunday: A Novel”?

Elizabeth Good: My inspiration sprang from two sources: one was external and the other was an internal desire to analyze pivotal events and circumstances of my life as a teenager and young adult.

The external catalyst to my journey as an author is a major character (Jesse David Carlisle) in “Just Another Sunday”. The real Jesse, whom I will call JDC, contacted me through Classmates.com in 2006. This happens all the time, right? Well, his revelations about our very last encounter in 1973 totally blew me away.
