Bishop TJ Money is
back, but so is Cherry
Bishop TJ Money has never made it a secret that he gets what he
wants, when he wants, and by any means necessary. He has no problem
robbing, stealing, and killing, to protect his holier-than-thou
image. So the offer to succeed the first black US president is too
tempting to resist. Who cares if the anonymous donors pushing his
campaign were behind the mysterious death of the president? TJ is
only focused on all the money and power the new position can bring.
But what
Bishop Money and his new partners don’t account for is the power of
the black woman - four of them to be exact. All of whom TJ has
wronged at one point or the other during his rise to megastardom.
And just as determined as Bishop TJ Money is to make his new home in
the White House, these women will stop at nothing to keep that from
happening.
In the
riveting sequel to the best-selling Preacherman Blues, things aren't
what they seem and one man's quest to get whatever he wants could
cost him the ultimate price.

catch. Jonathan has to make a major coup… bring down his
best friend, the notorious MVP, Coltrane Jones.

make a change. But by the time she figures
out how to make that happen, Babygirl will
see getting out the game isn't easy.
Especially when you've crossed the notorious

Mafia, and the ice-cold, ex-cop, strip club
owner, Stevie Brown.
Between Uncle Shabazz a heroine addict white
wanna-be black scam artist, and Uncle Ben a
drunk street pyschologist, and a host of
colorful characters Babygirl comes to
realize that getting money doesn’t mean
anything if you can’t use it to help the
less fortunate.

about
the author
 Jihad emerged on the scene when it was cool
to be black and the word nigga was whack.
Black power and love where in the air. It
was April 8, 1969. He was born in
Indianapolis, Indiana and in 82 he moved to
the ATL. He was second of three children.
His father was a street hustler, in and out
of five marriages. His parents divorced when
he was two. His mother worked tirelessly to
better herself and her children.
Attending alternative schools in Atlanta,
Jihad had little interest in literature.
However, when he was incarcerated, he
discovered the Donald Goines Series, The
Browder Files and educational books by Naim
Akbar, an unexpected surprise. He didn’t
know African Americans published books.
In 1984, Jihad at 14 came onto the drug
scene at the beginning of the crack-cocaine
era. He developed an intricate and
multi-million dollar drug empire by the age
of 17. He lived the life of what hip-hop
artist glorify in their music. He was the
youngest strip club owner in the country at
the age of 20 and by the age of 21 his life
took a turn for the worst.
Six months after his 21st birthday On August
4, 1990, Jihad was paralyzed from a near
fatal automobile accident. Suffering two
fractures of the neck, his medical team left
him with little hope to ever walk again.
But, through faith and determination, he
regained enough mobility to return to the
streets again, while the driver of the car
remained in a wheelchair.
After being shot three times and being in
the car accident, On March 19, 1992, Jihad
was incarcerated for possession of drugs and
a firearm. He served seven years in six
different Federal penitentiaries. He recalls
this time being a time of transformation and
of new awareness. He joined programs to help
troubled youths. He started looking up to a
group of socio-political positive
self-taught prisoners, who raised his
awareness about himself and his past. He
read everything he could get his hands on,
and soon realized the game he was playing
was the wrong game.
He began identifying with classic black
authors and historians, something that never
spurred his interest while growing up in a
mass of confusion in school. It was through
reading when he realized he had a purpose
and a reason to live.
Jihad started researching and writing about
his own analysis of his findings. He wrote
essays about European Cultures and Chinese
Dynasties. He also wrote about things he
felt were misconceptions, such as life,
religion, society and his people His focus
and discipline prepared him to write his
first book, Street life.
Six years after prison Jihad is the
successful best-selling author of four
books. Street Life, Baby Girl, Gigolos Get
Lonely Too and Riding Rhythm. His style of
writing is very unique in that he writes
socio-conscious street fiction. Jihad is the
single parent of a beautiful 2 year old son
Zion and he has a non-profit organization
(The Wake Up Everybody Foundation) geared to
raise the awareness of self in our youth. He
also builds homes and has a landscaping
company. For more about Jihad log on to

Jihad is energetic, provocative, and
