    About this ebook

    New York Times bestselling author, Edmond Thompson, has a reputation for being arrogant and cocky. Even on his worst day, he has nothing on new-to-the-scene, independent author, Donté Hardy.
    Fresh out of prison, Donté has taken the literary industry by storm. He’s a known internet bully, pulling strings to make sure he and his authors’ titles remain at the top.
    Edmond can’t stand the fact that Donté, a snarky “Facebook author,” hasn’t put in the same amount of work he has over the years. He doesn’t deserve his newfound prestige.
    Donté feels that Edmond is just jealous and needs to throw in the towel on writing because his book sales have sunk like the Titanic.
    Both authors find themselves on Writers Island. There, they will be in seclusion for thirty days writing a full-length novel to present to their agent. If the book is accepted, they will receive a six-figure deal with a major publishing company. The deal will put Edmond back on the top and keep Donté from returning to prison.
    The men are dismayed upon learning they will have to write together. Will they be able to put their egos aside and come up with a best-seller or will stubborn pride cause them both to fail?

    Teresa D. Patterson

    Teresa D. Patterson came onto the literary scene with her debut novel, Project Queen, which was published by a small independent publishing company. It wasn't long before she realized having complete control over the creation and distribution of her books suited her better, compelling her to publish her own future works.Her first independent published novel was Ex-boyfriend. She went on to write several novels in multiple genres, which includes contemporary fiction, erotica, inspirational fiction, juvenile fiction, romance, and urban lit. She has written twenty-eight novels and co-authored one.

      Why I’ve Stopped Waiting for ‘The Winds of Winter’

      May 11, 2018

      1. It was my ex who first suggested I read George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones. “I think you’ll like it,” he said, pulling his copy from the wooden bookcase in the corner of his bedroom. The shelves sagged under the weight of the epic fantasies th

      The Failure Artist: Writing Bullshit, Getting Rejected, and Keeping at It

      Aug 7, 2018

      A few years ago, in a moment of white-hot inspiration, I wrote the climactic scene of a book I had only half finished. The novel is a love story, and at that point, one of the few things I knew about how it would end was that one of the characters wo
