Congratulations to Yatta Rose on her #1 Christian Fiction Best Seller Devlin In The Pulpit.
She has shown no mercy with her masterful storytelling of church house drama and rattling feathers about the unspoken. The Bishop is one hot mess and poor British. The discussions have been buzzing around this book and make sure you’re in on the jaw dropping tea.
We often look to the church for help, love, and guidance but sometimes we get the opposite or nothing at all.
Three Members Tell The Story Of One Bishop By The Name of Devlin C. Latimore. From His Dark Secrets, Infidelity , Abusive Behavior, and Evil Ways. The Bishop of New Holy Temple is NOT Your Ordinary Bishop. Behind Closed Doors He Lives His Life The Opposite Of What He Preach.
The story Bishop Latimore and all of his dirty secrets unfold through three members of his congregation. The Bishop’s God daughter, British Williams, Deacon Kenneth Robinson, and Tory Brooks.
In this Standalone Novel we discover that even a Bishop could live so foul while preaching the word of God. So get ready to receive Bishop Devlin C. Latimore….
Yatta Rose is putting the finishing touches on Devlin In The pulpit II Blood On The Altar and set be released early June!
KSP give a big congratulations to our debut authors Alechy and Genita Hawkins.
Early this month Alechy served us with a hot urban banger By Myself I’m A Soldierabout a young woman by the name of Sage. Alechy perfects this tale effortlessly opening our hearts to a woman who we can all relate to in some form. This is one debut you don’t want to sleep on. It gives me nostalgia of the urban books we read when the genre began.
Christina’s life has never been as perfect as it seemed. Settling down is something she isn’t familiar with; moving from state to state and failed relationships. When she finally gets settled in one place she finds love with Markus, and is happy in it. Until life strikes and Christina’s world is flipped once again. Life has a way of throwing curve balls, and challenging Christina using just about everything and everyone around her, but at what point will enough be enough? When will she stop letting the changes in her life control her? Will she ever find love again? Will she runaway forever or face what life throws at her?
Genita presented readers with a great story of life and love and her descriptive style will put you right in the room with Christina as she navigates through all her highs and lows. You can purchase and get the great experience here
Once again we congratulate these ladies for stepping out on faith and having their first work published with KSP. We are certainly looking forward to bringing readers more from these too talented authors. Drop those reviews on Amazon letting us know your thoughts on our two newest members to the family.

Let’s pick up the Tempo!
SOON IN JUNE!
This hot tale penned by a hot author Dianna Smith will be debuting in June. This is next level grown folk stuff. It brings me back to that Zane vibe and era when everybody was going crazy about everything homegirl was writing and dropping. The real readers know what I’m saying.
Kindred Readers are definitely in for a treat with this hot debut coming. An excerpt of this masterpiece will be posted soon. Stay tuned!
Meet debut author Alechy Sumter who is in possession of a raw talent that she shows off effortlessly in her debut novel “By Myself I’m A Soldier”. Kindred Soul had a minute to ask Alechy some questions and she delivers in such a manner that makes you want to see what readers are in store for. Not only is a dope author she is a dope woman.
When did you start to write?
Alechy: I honestly didn’t begin writing until I was forcefully sat down. At 26 years of age I was sentenced to 10 years on drug conspiracy charges. Time spent idle has a way of playing with your thought process and coping mechanisms so instead of losing my mind or taking my frustrations out on others I wrote.
What inspires you the most to write?
Alechy: Circumstances and pressure pushes me to write. For myself, its therapeutic. The ability to allow my words to take me to another place mentally genuinely stimulates me to write.
What are five of your favorite books?
Alechy: A Piece of Mine by J. California Cooper, A Day Late and a Dollar Short by Terri McMillan, anything by Donald Goines, anything by Ca$h, Midnight by Sista Souljah, there’s too many to mention.
What can readers expect from reading your book?
Alechy: Readers can expect relatable life experiences in my books. I write about things that have impacted me in one way or another. My characters are multifaceted and dimensional. All who go through things that we humans do but hide. Through my words, readers get to experience some of the ills I’ve been faced with. The hardships I’ve endured.
Why did you choose Kindred Soul Publications?
Alechy: I choose Kindred Soul Publications because I wanted to form a relationship with the individuals that understands and recognizes my vision. Kindred Soul Publications does that. Drusilla and Stephanie work hand in hand with their authors. I love that. I can always make contact them without having to go through a middle man. I’m fortunate to have signed with women who are focused on the quality of works they represent verses quantity
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Alechy: In five years I see myself on multiple bestseller list, writing full time while enjoying the fruits of my labor. The sky is not the limit. It’s only the view.
What genre do you write?
Alechy: I write urban novellas. Stories that represent the perils of “ghetto” America. If you could talk to your younger self, what advice would you give her? To stay true to myself and not put others before me. If it doesn’t taste right to spit it out. Life will teach you some of the harshest lessons. Those lessons will sting and be tender to the touch, but you’ll heal. The only person that you’ll ever be better than is the person you were yesterday.
Describe yourself in three words.
Alechy: Ambitious. Resilient. Strong Willed!
Is there anything you want the readers to know about you?
Alechy: I’m an open book. I no longer live my life in fear of what others will think of me. This version of myself now is a shadow of who I used to be. Cuddle with me, talk to me, get to know me. The best is yet to come.

Sage Alexander is a young, beautiful, impressionable 18-year-old who’s supposed to have the world at her feet. But she finds herself pregnant and abandoned. Struggling to get by but determined to make ends meet. Sage works a minimum wage job while attending school to become a nurse. Things appear promising as Sage is determined to not allow her circumstances to deter her from pursuing her dreams.
Yet, weeks before giving birth to her daughter, Sage and her aunt Keria- whom she’s residing with- come to blows. Fists aren’t the only things thrown and Sage finds herself on the streets without a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. To add insult to injury, she’s fired from her place of employment. Homeless and destitute, Sage sticks her feet into unchartered waters when she connects with her cousin Mega, head of the murderous trio – The Undertakers to help her put things back into perspective.
Soon she’s making moves with thugs and is plagued with the dilemma of aspiring to fulfill her dream of becoming a nurse who preserves life or end the lives of others who’ve threaten her own. Torn between two worlds, Sage falls hard for Jahloni, who wants to lead her into the safety of his arms. But can she learn to trust again after the father of her child does the unthinkable? Or will the gravitational pull of the streets destroy her and the life she envisions for herself and young daughter? Will Sage sink or swim as her life spirals out of control?
The streets are watching in this seductive, edgy tale of deceit, envy and lies. Sage will captivate and infuriate readers with her sex appeal, maliciousness and naivety leaving them on the edge of their seats and thirsting for more!

Shamona relocated from her hometown in Baton Rouge to Houston for a change. She worked as a barmaid at “CHURCH” an underground gentlemen’s club where gambling tables and stripper poles crowded the space along with catty co-workers. There she meets the strikingly handsome hustler Claiyton “Country” Lebrado who just arrived back home from the hot streets of Miami. Shamona isn’t looking for love but she’s allured by Country’s charm and the suspicious activity that keeps him away most times.
I never got along with my heart
Just when she’s settled in with her new job she gets fired, and is forced to step out on faith once again to freelance with her right-hand Opal. The money pile and her love life on the uprising Shamona is gracefully coming into her own. That is, until one of Country’s many skeletons crawl out of the closet causing him to leave town again. While he’s gone Shamona moves on, and just when the odds of getting married are looking to work in her favor she gets a plethora of shocking revelations.
The past is knocking in more ways than one and the future is holding doors open for Shamona to live and let love, but what happens when your past, present and future are all in the same circle?
Creepin’ With the PLUG I Love
