Some how, full-length electronic copies of my latest novel "A Dream Come True" have been floating around online. I don't know if my computer was hacked or if it was an "inside job" but the book wasn't due until the end of this month. Nevertheless, my publishing team decided to make it available right now. Kinda didn't have a choice...anyway, please get your copy today! (if you haven't already read it!)
Read what others are saying about "A Dream Come True":
“[A Dream Come True] is about moving along in the fast lane at the peak of youth, the height of desire, and the point of no return…a story of what happens when passion leads to extremes that you can’t just run away from.”—Jive Magazine
“…Owens’ writing style and use of imagery is a welcome change in today's African American fiction market.”—Urban Reviews
“An entertaining look at issues facing young America.”—The Back List
“Intriguing, sexy characters who lure you from your world and make you a part of theirs...”—Maryann Reid, bestselling author of Sex and the Single Sister and Marry Your Baby Daddy
Summary:
Give a 20 year old basketball star lots of money, fame, and a plush Los Angeles condo and you’re asking for trouble. That’s exactly what's in store for Morris "Mookie" Lovett. Along with his girlfriend Pam Rivera, and best friend Fatimus Brown, Mookie leaves his sheltered life in suburban Orlando and heads for glitzy Los Angeles.
Against his parents’ wishes, he drops college, basketball, and everything else to follow his dream of becoming a chart-topping rapper. With hot lyrical skills, good looks, and charisma, he feels he'll be a star in no time. It doesn’t take long for the fast life to send him spiraling towards self-destruction.
While he transforms in front of their eyes, Pam and Fatimus wonder if they made a wise decision leaving Orlando. They came to Los Angeles to support Mookie but also to chase dreams of their own. Pam wants to be a Hollywood fitness consultant and later own a celebrity salon and spa. Fatimus simply wants to spice up his life by shedding his "mama's boy" image. Both try to stay strong during these difficult times but worldly temptations are too great. Soon they find themselves wrapped in Mookie’s chaotic world of sex, music, wild parties, and drama. New meaning is given to the phrase ‘caught up’ as they all struggle to find their way in the world. If they don’t succeed, their lives may never be the same again

Maybe. I guess if people can hack into the US government's super computers, they can do the same to my lil' laptop. |
