Clarksville remembers the monster...but most of the city doesn’t remember the truth.

Decades ago, a winged guardian watched over the city from the skies…until fear turned him into a statue and stone became his prison. For the past twenty years, the city slept beneath calm skies, believing the threat was gone.

Until a storm brought a destructive tornado that undid everything.

Now bodies are appearing, with ancient symbols carved in them that have the city on edge. Rumors are spreading about a monster moving through the night, and Lieutenant Detective Shy Brooks is bracing for the possibility of the rumors to be true.

But what if the monster’s return isn’t the only reckoning?

Others are waking, old rivalries are resurfacing, and a powerful necklace becomes the key to control over more than just the skies.

It doesn’t take long for a wealthy heir, Reign, sparks fear, resurrects an old war, turning Clarksville into a battleground for forces older than the city itself.

But this time, the monster isn’t alone.
And neither is the city.

What's good My Peoples?! I'm KOLD, an author of Street Lit, Urban Romance, Urban Paranormal, and Erotica. I'm from Clarksville, TN and I have been writing since 2015.

My author journey began while I was incarcerated in Kentucky. We didn't have any books by Black authors available to us at the facility I was in, and after speaking with inmates on the yard, we felt Street Lit books weren't reflecting our real experiences. I told them I could do better, and they challenged me to do it. So, that same day, I went in my cell and began writing, The Bottom. During my final eight years of incarceration, I wrote 33 books before I was granted parole in 2022. I became known as the 'walking library' at multiple prisons due to me always carrying around a large net bag full of my books.

To this day, I still handwrite every book, and I continue to base my stories off experiences either I myself have experienced, or the experiences of others I was around.

Writing is what saved me from getting out of prison and continuing down the same path in the streets that I was used to. I use my pen to articulate my thoughts, writing every story like a movie because that's how they play in my head.

While I am an author...I began a reader.

My favorite authors are a lot but they are: Donald Goines, Kwan, Wahida Clark, Nikki Turner, Kiki Swinson, Ashley & JaQuavis, Treasure Hernandez, Jahquel J, Kutura B, Theresa Reese, Ada Afam, M. Monique, C. Wilson, Bonnie Blanco, and T'Lyn. Non-Black authors I've read and enjoyed are James Patterson, Lee Child, Victor Fleming, and Janet Evanoich.

I am also an award-winning playwright after winning a PEN Award in 2022 for my play \"Can't Win PEN\".

I'm a writer hoping to write a book in every genre someday.

All I need is one chapter, allow your eyes to read one chapter from any book, and you'll be hooked. I appreciate you all in advance.
