I be walking past this like, “my nigga… I really wrote and published two books.”

For a kid like me from small town Helena, AL… I never thought that was possible.

But Gawd.

All three of them side by side.

What a journey this been.

Very intentional and hidden with symbolism.
Color scheme:
Blood at the Root Blue = (protection and new beginnings)
Bones at the Crossroads = Maroon and purple (sudden changes and duality, and making life choices)
Ashes at the Alter =gold/orange (love, peace, prosperity, and letting go) ☺️☺️☺️

I can’t wait for folks to read about D Low and Malik and their beautiful friendship in book 3.

D Low has one of the most beautiful character arcs in the finale that was so fun and healing to write. #booksky

✨ 6 MONTHS of Bones at the Crossroads ✨

A continuation of a YA fantasy book where a young Black boy, no matter what the world throws his way, gets to still find joy in his Black boyhood.

So here’s Malik and Dominique, the girl that’s stealing and piecing Malik’s head back together.

Bones at the Crossroads is doing something really special. @itsladarrion.bsky.social shows Christianity and African-rooted spiritualities/religions not as enemies, but as partners — Bible verses alongside spells, prayer alongside elements of Hoodoo and/or Haitian Vodou.

Absolutely!

I grew up in the church, but when I started doing my own research, I realized how much hoodoo and Christianity worked along side each other and I wanted to humanize both in the books!

I’m so ready to reveal this title and book cover to third and final book in my fantasy series.

It’s beautiful, epic, and most importantly, so ancestral.
