They wanted a new world. One where genetics could be curated, bought, and sold. Where black men were nothing more than breeding stock, discarded when their purpose was fulfilled. But they didn't count on her.

For a year, Stori Deringer has played her part - loyal employee by day, resistance operative by night. With everything at stake, she and her team are poised to dismantle the Leopold breeding facilities from the inside. But when the public vote fails to shut them down, the fight turns deadly. Who would have thought that something so evil would linger in those halls this long? Note - A sneak preview of Seed is included in my horror collection, Sick xoxo. This is the complete novella and continuation of that story.

As a child, I realized that my entertainment choices leaned more toward ghosts and goblins than princesses and fairy godmothers.

My favorite authors were Stephen King and Jack Ketchum, as I wasn't aware of any bIack women - or black men - who wrote horror, so I began writing short-form horror in my teens. I didn't release my first book until many decades later, thanks to the advances of self-publishing.

Although I may occasionally drop a work of romance, my real passion is weaving stories about monsters ? both the kind that come from the pits of hell or the kind that may live right next door.
