The story tells of the making of the very first ball of fire. Trinidad wavers between the British and the French and SouCou is a slave, stolen from her beloved homeland. Born a Sharman in Africa she is a prized possession because of her talents, she finds love then heart break but through it all she wants her daughter to be free. She refuses to believe that her new owner Governor Yant will keep any of his promises and instead bargains with the God of Fire, Shango to grant her heart’s desire in exchange for her very soul … but SouCou’s rage is so powerful that she does not die, and becomes a new creature of the night …

All Malia wants to do is keep her daughter and granddaughter safe within the shifter’s life they live. She lives on the outskirts of their pack and is determined that her grand-daughter Red will not be forced to marry until she’s ready. She doesn’t have the best track record with shifters, and sums up the new alpha’s intentions as soon as he arrives but Wolfe isn’t interested in Red when Gammy is his flavor.

For as long as Princess Aiko could remember she had one destiny, to be sacrificed to the dragon spirit of the dark lands to ensure the safety of her people and everyone who loved her has tried to move heaven and earth not to let it happen. But Aiko holds a secret, she wishes to go because only she understands why the dragon calls to her and why she will only find freedom in his fire.

Aajumbee Publishing House was founded by Author, Marsha Gomes-Mc Kie. Based in Trinidad in the Caribbean Aajumbee publishes a range of genres from Children, Youth Adult, Fantasy Romance and Non-Fiction.

Distribution : We do not sell books wholesale or retail. Amazon’s Print on demand services provides booksellers with a competitive price, so you can enjoy economies of scale in shipping when you buy bulk, as a new publishing entity we cannot provide such, and would rather our books be priced in the best interest of our readers.

Marketing : Once you decide to stock our books please send us a notice, so we can promote your store via social media, on our list of booksellers and to refer individuals who request the books from us.

LOOK OUT FOR NEW TITLES & UPDATED TITLES in the COMING MONTHS.

This book contains real-life stories of the spread of the HIV epidemic. This is a journey past and present where I have seen people from all creed and race including good friends and relatives living and dead with HIV/AIDS.

When I first came across this unusual subject it was more than four decades ago, during my early teens. My next-door neighbor was terminally ill with copper pox poisoning. I remembered he offered the doctor the sum of ten thousand dollars in cash or any amount to get him better. The doctor told Ben he couldn’t help him.
