Blood Ties

AUTHOR PROBES DEPTHS OF BLOOD TIES IN SUSPENSE-PACKED THRILLER

Bookcover

Atlanta, GA (BlackNews.com) - Daisy Roberts releases her debut novel, A Blood Like Yours, to high acclaim and reviews.

A Blood Like Yours is the story of a rising African-American executive, Karra Johnson and Carl Marlsnick, her Caucasian, power-driven, ego-centric boss and their tumultuous romantic relationship. In the tradition of Southern storytelling, the plot swelters around rich characters whose ages are not defined by years but by drama, endless drama. Once Carl feels betrayed by Karra, he attempts to make her life a living hell. Carl’s wife, his sons, Karra and her friends, all experience the backlash of revenge. Sexual assaults, chronic addictions and paralyzing secrets are revealed. Private investigators, murder-for-hire plots and near death experiences changes the characters’ lives forever and leaves the reader begging for more pages to turn.

Daisy wrote A Blood Like Yours in early 2007 and published it in November 2007. "As with any new author, I can see a little bit of myself in almost every character. It’s a humbling revelation to write a book and then let others read it, especially one characterized in the erotic thriller genre. It’s like exposing your own secrets to the world. At the same time, there is a tremendous feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment."

"Independent publishing and print-on-demand is the wave of the future, and the future is now," she adds. "By self-publishing my book, it allowed me to cut out the middle man (i.e. a separate publisher) and get my work out there the way I want it. The storyline in my book is much like my journey of self-publishing. It puts you in control of your destiny."
