Her destiny was certain. Until it wasn't.

Exploring her beloved forest, young Princess Chibuike "Chi" encounters a man unlike any she has seen. His skin is as pale as the moon that watches over the Queendom of Kana, a land where women rule fiercely and freely. But outside the comforting embrace of her homeland, a disturbing change blows with the wind.

Ten dry seasons later, in 1619, Chi, now a seasoned warrior in the Kanaian army, and preparing for her own future as queen, faces a mystery that threatens the existence of Kana. The once-peaceful queendom is upended when nearby villagers disappear en masse, including their ruling families—and one of Chi's closest friends. Chi vows to find her missing landspeople and bring them home, no matter where they are. She and the women warriors travel across the ocean to Jamestown, Virginia to face down the pale men who have built a trade in human beings. To free their people, the warriors withstand perils at sea, the dangers of an unknown climate and unfamiliar societies, and the insatiable greed that drives the pale men.

While she creates unforeseen alliances in distant lands, Chi also faces betrayals at home. Returning to Kana does not bring an end to her battles. To change the course of history for her people and herself requires Chi to discover a new kind of bravery and her true destiny.

The nursery rhyme was wrong. Words can hurt you.

Ambitious, twenty-something FBI Special Agent Jade Harrington cuts her vacation short to investigate the murder of a conservative radio personality only to discover that he may be the victim of a serial killer. Whitney Fairchild, the elegant and charismatic Democratic senator from Missouri, campaigns in a cutthroat race for president of the United States. Cole Brennan, the most popular conservative talk-show host in the nation, battles nightly to save his country and help the incumbent Republican president maintain his ‘inner conservative’ to win re-election.

The lives of Jade, Whitney, Cole, and the killer—who has an agenda of his own—are on a collision course. That course will not just impact them each in ways they could never have foreseen, but also the future of the United States of America. Amidst a backdrop of contemporary power politics driven by the influence of talk radio and social media, DON’T SPEAK thrills even as it explores many of the complex issues facing Americans today.

Prescient, Don’t Speak was completed a year before the 2016 US presidential election.

The second book in the Jade Harrington series from best-selling Amazon author, J. L. Brown.

FBI Special Agent Jade Harrington finds herself holding the line in a case that hits a little too close to home, personally and professionally. A bullied boy in a Washington, DC suburb commits suicide after being beaten. Within days, the bodies of his classmates start turning up—with injuries similar to the victims of TSK. But Jade knows TSK is dead.

Meanwhile, massive protests erupt across the country. President Whitney Fairchild must quell them while dealing with an obstructionist Congress and a long-kept secret, all of which threaten to destroy her and sink her presidency before it has really begun.

Vengeance. Betrayal. Justice. Duty. The thrills of Don’t Speak continue with Rule of Law.

Divided we fall . . .

Acting FBI Special Agent in Charge Jade Harrington and her team have their hands full with a new case. Someone is murdering people who appear to have little in common—aside from the fact that they’re prominent one-percenters.

President Whitney Fairchild’s first year in office isn’t going as planned. No president since Abraham Lincoln has been under so much pressure to keep a divided nation together, and on top of that, her long-kept secret might finally be exposed.

For both Jade and Whitney, it’s hard to know whom to trust. Family members, friends, coworkers, and allies—not all of them are what they seem.

Who is for them, and who is against them?
