Three stories about one story … The God Particle is told out of chronological order, and follows three main interrelated stories. Hitwomen, Egypt, Asia, and Persia arrive at an apartment to retrieve a briefcase for their boss.

A story should have a beginning, a middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order. Warning: there will be blood.

“Does fiction get much darker … Deliberate and creepy, "this taps into genuine human traits like fear, greed, and stupidity.”

On the mean streets where dog eats dog there is always one that has sharper claws and bigger teeth, and in New York her name is Egypt. Never an ordinary girl, Egypt learned the hard way that life, even when it is being kind, is a bastard. A survivor, she did what she needed to make it from day-to-day. And it turned out she was good at it. Better than good. Egypt grew into an extraordinary woman, cold, ruthless, a killer at heart, and New York witnessed her metamorphosis from that innocent child to the most feared assassin of the age.

Previously published by Teri Woods Publishing, B-More Careful (pictured right) is one of the books that helped kickstart the Urban Fiction Genre’s explosion 20 years ago.

Holmes penned this urban classic, his first novel, B-More Careful, while serving a five-year prison sentence. Upon his release, Holmes found immediate success: the novel would go on to sell 100,000 copies its first year of publication, and more than 350,000 to date!

B-More Careful takes sex, lies, and betrayal to the next level in an action-packed, fast-paced, suspense-filled novel. Growing up on the cold, mean, inner-city streets of Baltimore is Netta, leader of an all-girl clique called the Pussy Pound. With no father and a dope fiend for a mother, Netta learns at an early age how to use her beauty and her body to get the things she wants: money, cars, and jewelry.

Chasing the almighty dollar, she meets Black, a local drug dealer with a deep-seated hatred for New Yorkers who falls head over heels in love with her. With a broken heart, Black discovers that Netta is only after his money and seeks the ultimate revenge against her life.

Faith Newsome has it all-a loving husband, beautiful daughter, and a stable life as the owner of a thriving shoe boutique in Washington D.C. Yet a part of her feels as if she’s not who she seems to be, as if she’s living a lie.

When Faith gets kidnapped by a group of goons while walking to her car, she suddenly remembers who she is-not the suburban wife and mother whom she convinced herself to be, but Champagne, the daughter of one of the most ruthless killers and drug dealers in New York City who went missing and was presumed dead years prior.

As the memories begin to flood back in, Faith remembers why she ran from her past and why, if she wants to stay alive, she has to keep running.
