Book Cover ImageBattling her natural instinct to play men and her common sense to be monogamous, Taya Roberts learns her true fate. It’s not that she isn’t ready to settle down rather she just can’t imagine what life would be like without her options. Until she meets Michael Keith who spins her world upside down. His debonair suave mystic personality catches her eye and even has her questioning if this player lifestyle was ever truly for her.

Excerpt:

I woke up the next morning with my breath smelling like straight Hennessy. I went in my bathroom and found two naked chicks in my spa tub and a third chick laying on the floor. I stepped over shorty on the floor and proceeded to the sink to brush my teeth and wash the crust out my eyes. I slipped on some hoop shorts and walked out my room to see what the rest of the house was looking like.
I stood on the balcony overlooking my living room and all I could see was beer bottles covering the floor and a few puddles of vomit. Face down in one of those puddles was my boy Sly Hood. It was several motherfuckas passed out around the crib including Dre’s ass. I went back in my room, grabbed my iPhone out my pants pocket, and called my usual cleaning crew to come a little earlier than scheduled.
After I rounded up all the hungover folks and put them out of my house; let the cleaning crew in, and got dressed, I headed to my office. I know it’s Sunday, but a real businessman never stops working. Growing up I watched my mom hustle everyday of the week just to make sure me any my brother had fresh clothes to wear to school.

Get to know Shawn:

What inspired you to write The NightLife Chronicles?

What really inspired the book was the blog I was writing before the book, also called The Nightlife Chronicles, for 2 years. The blog was was so popular that I was writing enough content to actually create a novel. So to answer your question, my fans from my blog inspired my book.

Are any of the characters based on influences you’ve had in your life?

Everybody thinks the main character, Taya Roberts, is a reflection of me, she’s not. Every other character is representations of pieces of people I’ve met in my life.

Tell us the most difficult portion of writing the book?

The ending by far. With me it’s always the last chapter or last paragraph or last sentence because I never know when to stop writing.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years as an author?

My long term goal is having a screenplay published on a major platform. It doesn’t have to even be a huge success, but having my own works produced would be a major accolade.

What else do you have in the works?

“Ally” the novel, my sophomore piece. It’s going to top my first book; I really went all out on this one. I also have a poetry book in the works as well, I love writing poems.

When can we expect “Ally” to be available to the public?

We’re expecting to release it by the end of this year or the beginning of next year, and pre orders will be up soon.

Anything else you would like to add for future fans and friends?

I want to thank everybody for being interested in what I have to offer, stay tuned because we’re just getting started.

In the world of music, where passion and perseverance are key, Mike Alexander is making a name for himself as a talented rapper and entrepreneur. Born in Long Island, New York, and raised in Queens, Mike’s story is one of resilience and determination.

The Roots of Creativity

Growing up in the vibrant neighborhoods of Queens, Mike was exposed to a diverse range of musical influences. From the legendary rap icons of the 90s like Biggie and Tupac to the soulful sounds of R&B, Mike’s musical journey began with a passion for creativity. “I started with listening to rap music when Biggie, Tupac, Nas, and AZ were making music,” he says.

Staying True to Himself

So, what sets Mike apart from other artists in the industry? According to him, it’s his ability to stay true to himself and not worry about what others think. “I think me not thinking about what makes me different and just doing me,” he explains. This authenticity shines through in his music and personality.

A Vision for Success

In the next five years, Mike sees himself achieving great things. He’s working on building his online clothing store, WeCrew Apparel, and plans to open a main store. He’s also passionate about giving back to his community, with plans to start a non-profit organization that provides essential items to those in need. “I see myself having a main store for my online clothing store… and making a non-profit giving away bookbags, school supplies to the kids, and Turkeys on Thanksgiving to the homeless,” he declares.

The Power of Motivation

So, what motivates Mike to pursue his dreams? It’s the love and support of his family, particularly his kids, girlfriend, parents, and brother. “Me, my kids, my girl, my parents, my brother,” he says. These relationships drive him to succeed and make a positive impact.

A Unique Approach

Mike’s approach to music and life is refreshingly laid-back and balanced. As an introvert-extrovert, he finds inspiration in his daily life and channels it into his music. “I be in the crib a lot with my son, then I go across town to my studio apt and try to find inspiration to write,” he explains. This unique blend of creativity and hard work sets him apart from other artists.
