From the author of the highly rated, hilariously, seductive novel How Do I Know I Love You comes… The Blood of Israel. Evelution delivers yet again with this thought provoking, street savvy novel!
Israel “If only she knew that by him wearing a ring on his finger, it would not stop him from having me continue to put a ring of my lipstick below whenever the mood hit him… hmmm I wonder if she would be floating on daisies then.” For Israel, hustling for her ultimate goal of having wealth is justified through corrupted reasoning. “Selling the goods will give you minimum wage life but marketing it right will give you capital you can sit on while you’re drinking champagne with the slim percent of people that piss out thousand dollar bills and s**t the common man’s wildest dreams.” Israel’s eyes stay focused while running from the demons of the past with little concern for who may be trampled in the process. This is until… Ezra A few moments later, Ezra returned exhaling his medicinal smoke. “The body is merely a shell holding my inner self; that of which is connected to God; dwelling in faith, love, and obedience to Him. It may be unseen by the world’s standard but real for God’s notice in the spiritual, you get me?” Ezra is a P.K. (preacher’s kid) fighting to keep the Word in the forefront of his life while he searches for who he is as a man without the covering of his pastor, father. He is an unquestionably beautiful man conjuring sexual yearning from nearly every woman that lays eyes on him. He sees meaning and purpose in everything and looks to Israel as an assignment and blessing from the Lord. “I am not in a position to receive a woman like who I see you will become, right now. I am a street brothah. I do what I got to do to keep my pockets straight ‘cause ain’t nobody giving me nothing. Some people are not meant to lead the flock but more so help the shepherd with the course.” The Blood of Israel paints a vivid imagery of life in its truth. It gives points of humor and times that make you search deeper. We all question our purpose in times of struggle. How does one find who they are when their eyes have adjusted to the darkness that surrounds them?

author of Avoiding Self Imposed Adversities
From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

author of Children: My Heritage - A Testimony
The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
