Platinum Dreams

PLATINUM DREAMS is a coming of age story about Sharday Grant, a teenaged black girl who lives in one of the toughest ghettos of inner city Washington DC. Sharday lives in a two-bedroom apartment in a basic brick building with her single mom, who is her greatest supporter. Her dad is an absentee father and a musician whose long and winding career never took off despite his many years on the road.

In PLATINUM DREAMS, we follow Sharday Grant from the inner city of Washington DC to the suburbs of Maryland and beyond in her quest to break into the music industry. As she travels an unconventional path towards adulthood while chasing superstar status, family dynamics are strained to the limit, old arrangements fall apart and new connections are forged, and she often finds herself in places and situations she never could have imagined. Will she have the strength to persevere? Will she achieve her dreams of platinum record sales? And will anyone in her circle stay with her through the end?

Her relationships with family, close friends, and other pivotal connections influence her choices as she seeks her destiny.

When Terry Evans receives word that his estranged father is dying, he returns home to Washington, DC to find that he has inherited a fortune in prime real estate.

But unbeknownst to them all, the BROTHERS OF THE SPEAR is a group of sophisticated con artists who have become Terry’s family over the years. And the SPEAR will run game to make sure that Terry comes out on top no matter which way the deal goes down.

In the BROTHERS OF THE SPEAR series, the reader is swept along with Terry as he rises from an impoverished existence in our nation’s capital to life in the swankiest locations all across America: from New York City to Tampa, Florida; from the lively casinos of Las Vegas to the dazzling, star-studded hills of Los Angeles, California.
