You’ll fear the cold and crave the burn. – JM Storm Rambunctious... that’s the word that comes to everyone’s mind when it comes to Torrin-Ameer Baxter. Due to her past decisions, she’s never had much of a chance to enjoy the best part of her teen years. Now it’s her eighteenth birthday, and she’s given a chance to start fresh when she goes to live with her godmother and godsisters. Happy to have her staying with them, Torrin-Ameer’s godsisters take her to the Annual Hood Fish Fry, which is where she comes across the one and only SaKari Gilliam. He’s a sight for sore eyes, and there’s no denying that, but she can tell right away that he’s in the streets. With her troubled past and difficult circumstances, she decides that he’s the last person she needs to get involved with. She’s supposed to be staying out of trouble, and everything about him screams exactly that. SaKari Gilliam is a twenty-three-year-old hotheaded Haitian who goes by the name SG in the streets. Mercy isn’t a factor to him, and he’s always out for blood. Being that he’s always out in the streets 24/7, he decides to kick back for just a day and attend the Annual Hood Fish Fry. He knows all the baddest females will come out for it, and he’s hoping to snag one for the night only. That is until he comes across a new chick in the hood with the face of an angel and a slim-thick frame that appears to be natural. Everyone is eyeing her, and he knows he must make his move fast if he wants to get at her. When he does, he’s immediately thrown off by her slick mouth and super hood aura, yet he can’t help but to be intrigued by her. He isn’t sure of much, but he’s positive that he has to have her. The big question is, will he be able to keep his eye on the prize when vicious truths are revealed and deadly decisions must be made? Will Torrin-Ameer be able to stay away and stay focused on her new beginnings, or will both of their situations bring them closer? Will it leave Torrin-Ameer to only wanna give it to a hood rich gangsta?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful novel about ethnically fluid California, and the corrosive relationship between two Filipino brothers.

The older brother, Tomas, fashions himself into a Mexican gangster and breeds pricey attack dogs, which he trains in German and sells to Hollywood celebrities. The narrator is younger brother Gabe, who tries to avoid the tar pit of Tomas's waywardness, yet moves ever closer to embracing it. Their mother, who moved to America to escape the caste system of Manila and is now divorced from their American father, struggles to keep her sons in line while working two dead-end jobs. When Gabe runs away, he brings shame and unforeseen consequences to the family. Full of the ache of being caught in a violent and alienating world, American Son is a debut novel that captures the underbelly of the modern immigrant experience.

Book excerpt: These stories are not fables or fairy tales. They are severe chronicles of gangstas, written by men and women who have starved and bled and survived by the code of the streets.

Never one to disappoint her fans, Turner even throws in a raw gangsta tale of her own.
