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.

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.
