In Clarksville, TN, Amiyah believes she reigns supreme when it comes to being the most scandalous person to walk the earth.

Being ex-military, Amiyah has the looks and skills to get close to anyone, bringing their demise before they ever see it coming. When, Diesel, the front-runner for the city’s throne, hires her to eliminate his competition—no matter what it takes, she believes it's just another job. But an entire chain of events are set in motion.

As Amiyah uses sex, robbery, and murder to get the job done, she becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of power and revenge. But when an unexpected betrayal rocks her world, Amiyah turns the tables, plotting Diesel's downfall with the help of his sworn rival, Rugah, a man with his own ambitions to take over the city.

Meanwhile, Katina, is also vying for control, using her intelligence and charm, while Kaylin, the right-hand to Amiyah’s recent victim, Orlando, is hunting for revenge.

With power at stake, each player is trying to outwit the others, but as the stakes grow higher, everyone finds themselves entangled in lies, deceit, and deadly consequences.

Detective Constance is hot on the trail of a serial killer whose victims are all linked to a mysterious woman using her looks to lure them into her deadly web.

Amiyah must keep herself from being identified as suspect number one in the detective's case, all while delivering the revenge she seeks. However, she's unsure if she’s the predator—or the next victim.

Full of betrayal, murder, and shocking twists, Scandalous will keep you guessing until the very last page.

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.
