Interview with the Author:

Q. What could readers compare the ‘Raze Warfare’ series to?
A. It has a similar tone to ‘The Outsiders,’ with a gang like a family of very different people who need each other.

Q. What makes this series different?
A. Girls are kick ass members of the gang. Sexualities are open (there’s a bisexual triad romance – why choose?). There are diverse racial backgrounds. There’s some gender bending. The enemy is more covert, but widespread – a corrupt underground system. And the gang members enforce vigilante justice, while battling their own demons – ranging from trauma to learning difficulties.

Q. What do you love most about this series?
A. I love that Kiddo and Raze are so different – opposites attract. Their deepening, first time gay romance felt so intimate and sweet and real to write.
I especially loved including so many diverse kinds of people without feeling the need to centre the story on their race/gender/sexuality/difficulites, because people are people. I loved having them there, as they are, rolling with the punches as people do – rather than the storyline centring on any stereotypes.

Q. What do you want your readers to know?
A. Hearing from you feeds my soul. Feel free to reach out.

Andrew Hayes has spent years making himself small enough to survive. As an Army sergeant, survival means discipline—and discipline means silence about everything that could be used against him, including the thing he watched destroy another man’s career without hesitation or apology.

Ryan Mitchell is a civilian contractor, temporary and uncomplicated, which is exactly why Andrew lets himself get close. One storm. One unguarded moment. That should have been the end of it.

It isn’t.

At Crown and Glory Natural Hair Salon, secrets don’t stay hidden forever. They get spoken, held, and transformed by love.

Secrets is a powerful, intimate lesbian romance about chosen family, radical honesty, and the courage it takes to build a life that tells the truth.

Jaz has survived things that should have broken her. Instead, she found her way to Crown and Glory, where community is sacred, and love is expansive enough to hold more than one truth at a time. Together with Zee and Cole, Jaz forms an unconventional yet deeply rooted family, grounded in trust, tenderness, and mutual devotion. As they create a home together, the past refuses to stay quiet. Old wounds resurface. Children arrive carrying their own histories. Long-buried truths demand to be seen.

From quiet domestic moments to soul-deep intimacy, Secrets celebrates Black lesbian love in all its complexity: sensual, messy, joyful, faithful, and fiercely protective.

Whether you are new to the Crown and Glory series or have walked with the Salon Sisterhood from the beginning, Secrets stands on its own as a deeply emotional, affirming love story.
