Handsome cover. Reminds me a little of Walter Mosley.
ReplyDeleteYep, I love that cover. I was inspired to write this novel several years ago, while taking a class on African American Literature. I did a paper on "Blues Detectives" -Mosley, Chester Himes, Ishmael Reed and etc. I decided to create my own. I hope to make this a series, if the first one sells enough copies to justify a publisher taking the risk.
