No New Year resolution for me, but I do have a small request…. Make sure you keep that same energy.
The Bastard son…
Whenever a song is stuck in my head like this, a new story usually follows. I had a stretch where I kept listening to “Wild child” over and over. Next thing I knew, Animal was born.

In this gripping follow-up to The Reluctant King, the "Monarchy" of New York City's Five Points is in total disarray, giving way to a bloody battle for the crown
AFTER THE ARREST OF CHANCELLOR KING and the murder of his eldest son and heir, Ghost, the King family and the streets of New York City are thrown into chaos. The throne of Five Points is without a sitting king for the first time since its inception. The vacancy doesn't last long, however, as Chancellor's older brother, Chapman, takes the opportunity to usurp the crown, breaking the line of succession and stepping over his nephew Shadow. Chapman's first act as the new king is to banish what remains of his broken family, branding them enemies of the crown.
The coronation of a new king promises to bring back balance to the Monarchy, but there are some who question Chapman's claim to the throne and refuse to kneel to before a "false king." What follows is a war between different factions of the Monarchy, each with its own agenda, and the crown of Five Points as the prize.
Stripped of all wealth and power, Maureen King and her son Shadow are forced to vacate their family estate and end up back where it all began for them: the slums of Brooklyn. Maureen refuses to sit idle while her brother-in-law reaps the spoils of what she and her husband built. In the raging conflict that ensues, Maureen places a seemingly impossible task on the shoulders of Shadow―to reclaim what was stolen from their family and take back the crown.
In this stunning sequel to Promise Broken, K’wan spins a pulse-pounding story about surviving, thriving, and the consequences of love.
Promise and her best friend Mouse have fled Newark and are hiding out in New York City, wanted by the police—and the streets—for the death of B-Stone, leader of the Bloods. In the city, Promise has found work as a waitress at a hole-in-the-wall strip club. But one fateful night, she is forced to face her past when an up-and-coming rapper draws several shady characters into her orbit.
Meanwhile, Asher has maneuvered himself into a position of great importance after B-Stone’s death, albeit with some help. But his ambition may cost him when he must make the ultimate choice: his best friend’s life, or his own.
Promise and Asher have each come into their own, but will they ever be able to come together?
Bestselling author K’wan weaves a tangled web of complex relationships and power struggles in Promise Kept, a tale peopled with gangstas, drug dealers, dreamers, and schemers from both sides of the Hudson.

Pretty good.
I've touched five different states in the last 72hrs. Some of them twice. I'm home now, lingering in that space where your body is yelling at you to chill, but your brain ain't listening. And the laptop is instigating from the sidelines. That place between delirium and lucidity, is where I've found some of my greatest storylines.
