About the Author

Omen Media is a creation of Shawn Sharp who is a prolific writer, artist, musician and play writer. It was initially a vision Shawn Sharp shared with his co-author Dameon Brome and his Cousin Lisa Pierce as something he wanted to create to give his son Terrell Sparks (a.k.a. Omen) a vehicle through which they could express their creative talents as a team in a family business. To that end, Shawn created Scandalous the series with the help of his long time friend, Co-author and Editor Dameon Brome and sent it to Lisa Pierce. After reading it, Lisa saw his vision and began to build what is now Omen Media (through her selfless devotion and hard work!) to facilitate the vision of a family business using the creative talents within their family. (Of course none of this would be possible if it wasn't for the tireless assistance of the co-author and my best friend of 24 years aka "Ninja". Without his help in creating the series or his technical expertise in building the company, I don't think any of this would have been possible! With that said, we hope you will continue to follow us as our team strives to give you more and more details of our Scandalous World.

If you've been waiting for that one book that opens up a whole new level of what Urban Genre means, then this is the book for you. I wrote this book because I was tired of reading the same story told over and over in a predictable way that relegates us to just our "corners" or our "hoods" while the bigger picture of who controls the game and why never gets exposed.
I wanted to go back to the tradition of great authors like Goines and Ice Berg Slim who included the bigger picture of the politics at play in their novels as well as certain supernatural elements that give the story just a little spiritual element intrinsic in our Black Culture.
If you can feel us on this point then you need to read this book! I wanted to tell a good and entertaining story that is also politically relevant in today's times and shows how the higher ups are getting paid in the political game all over the world.
The story is completely fictional, but you will find certain elements have a ring of truth to them as you read.
So, this book is the first in a series with Scandalous Part 1 covering the global aspect of how drugs are moving through cartels in certain countries, while Scandalous Part 2 (The Steps Revenge) covers what goes down in the streets once the drugs get into our community.
