Is Blood Thicker
by Kruze
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Urban Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Have
you ever looked at your circle and wonder if the people in it are really down
for you? That’s the question Ceasar constantly asks himself. In his eyes
betrayal is a worse crime than murder, so think twice before crossing him.
Daquans’s
was life was filled with what he considered to be normalcy. He is completely
devoted to his wife, Aviana, and their son. But how deep does his loyalty run?
Can he stay with Aviana when her past catches up with her, attempting to
collect an unpaid debt?
Nolan
is a prominent member of his family, but he’s also the only one who managed to
make it out of the hood. His family looks to him for all type of assistance,
including money, because he doesn’t have the heart to tell them enough is
enough. Maybe it’s the guilt he feels from his secret that keeps him digging in
his pocket for his loved ones.
Join
us as we dive into these strangers lives to explore their inner circles. Lies
will be told, secrets won’t be kept, and graves will have to be dug. Take this
ride with us, and maybe you could answer the question, is blood thicker?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
Daquan
rushed back to his SUV. He grabbed his tablet and studied the app. It still
said Aviana was at the school. There was nothing else to do but wait so that’s
what he did. Thirty minutes passed and there was still no sign of Aviana. Just
as Daquan got ready to pull off, someone came walking around the corner. At
first, he paid them no attention. But they started towards Aviana’s car and instantly
made Daquan watch them closer. He watched as they entered Aviana’s car.
Although they dressed in all black Daquan knew that person wasn’t his wife.
The
mystery person pulled off in Aviana’s car, leaving Daquan conflicted on what to
do next. He quickly decided to follow Aviana’s Altima as it traveled through
West Philly until it reached Upper Darby. The Altima pulled onto a small block
and Daquan carefully followed. Soon the driver pulled into a driveway of a
small house and shut the engine off. From down the block, he noticed the driver
didn’t get out of the car. Slowly, he drove down the icy street, squinting his
eyes at the Altima, hoping to get a look at the driver. No luck. There was no
way he was going to be able to see inside with the combination of tint on the
window and darkness outside. Instead, Daquan made a mental note of the house.

GUEST POST:
Five Ways To Engage Your Readers:
There
are really only three things I do to engage my readers. The first thing I do is
start off strong. I love to grab my reader’s attention at the very beginning of
the story. I do this either through the prologue or the beginning of the first
chapter. I write as I am watching a movie myself and I absolutely hate when
movies take forever to hook me. I tend to give up on the film and find out
through someone else the overall movie was.
The
second thing I do is to make sure each chapter ends with suspense. I do not
want my readers knowing what is going to happen in the next chapter. I do my
best to make sure the reader is on an emotional roller coaster. Once I am done
with the manuscript, I have either read it with an open mind and as if I am not
the author, or have someone read it to me. If each chapter don’t make me gasp,
I know I have to go back and change some things.
The
final thing I do is to not give the ending away. I want to always make my
reader want more. Is Blood Thicker has my DM and phone going off crazy with
people asking me for the next one. This is exactly what I wanted. I made sure
to hook them, take them on a emotional ride, and asking for more.

AUTHOR BIO:
Kruze was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Although she always enjoyed writing poems as a way of expressing the things she
didn’t feel comfortable saying out loud, she didn’t decide to seriously become
a writer until after she graduated from high school. She started Urban Legends
Publishing & Media as a way to create good literature for readers to enjoy.
A self-described urban author with an erotic flare, Kruze wrote and published
Cap-Poetry, a collection of poems about life, love, and sex from the viewpoint
of a Capricorn as her first project. In November 2016, she released Lock and
Load, a novel she co-wrote with Ace Capone, an author she signed to Urban
Legends Publishing. Next up, is her novel, Is Blood Thicker, which was made
available 8/4/2020.
Kruze
has several single and joint projects coming out in the future, including
another book of poetry, Letters to my Exes, and several novels, including Sins
of the Father, Domain High, and The Money Team. She is always working, always
striving for self-improvement both in her personal and professional lives. Be
