Mostly celebrated for his poignant and evocative poetry, JonKeL takes a bold leap into the realm of fiction with his debut novelette, Wedding Bands and Bullets. Known for his ability to distill raw emotion and complex themes into compelling verse, JonKeL now weaves a gripping narrative that explores love, betrayal, and the unyielding grip of consequence. This first leap into fiction promises to captivate readers with its blend of heartfelt prose and razor-sharp storytelling, proving that JonKeL's talent transcends genres.
Joan Harper has always been driven-fiercely ambitious, endlessly hardworking, and unstoppable in her rise through the corporate ranks. As one of the few African American women executives in Miami's competitive marketing industry, she's built her success with grit and talent, defying both stereotypes and doubters. But with her latest promotion to a corner office, Joan's achievements are met with more than envy; they're met with suspicion, gossip, and whispered accusations. To her male colleagues, her success is a threat, and they're determined to see her fall.
Enter Russell "Russ" Jones, a private investigator with a past as complex as his cases. A retired military man from Harlem with a sharp eye and even sharper instincts, Russ is hired to tail Joan and uncover the secrets they're sure she's hiding. What starts as a simple job soon grows tangled, as Russ finds himself questioning the motives behind his assignment, unraveling layers of jealousy, betrayal, and ambition that go far beyond Joan's career.
This urban tale explores the cost of success, the weight of suspicion, and the lengths people will go to protect-or destroy-a reputation. For Joan, the challenges are more personal than ever, as she confronts not just her colleagues' vendettas, but the question of what happens when the consequences of your actions catch up to you.

À propos de l’auteur
The seeds of my artistic journey were planted when I was just 7 years old. Poetry became my refuge, an outlet for emotions I couldn't yet articulate. Growing up amid my parents' struggles with addiction and the chaos of domestic violence, I turned to writing as a source of solace. When arguments erupted or gunshots rang through my Miami neighborhood, I instinctively reached for a pencil and paper, pouring my feelings into poetry. Little did I know, this creative practice would become my lifelong therapy.
As I entered my teenage years, life grew even more challenging. Homeless at one point, I found relief not only in writing but also in the performing arts. Miami Northwestern's PAVAC magnet program introduced me to theater, and with the guidance of my teacher and mentor, Ms. Charlotte Seward, I found another means of healing. Her maternal influence shaped my growth, both as an artist and as a person.
At 14, I began working to support myself and, later, my younger brother when my mother was incarcerated. Stability came through my grandmother, who took us in, as my father's addiction left him unable to care for us. By 16, I joined an after-school program as a peer educator, using the arts to bridge understanding and connect with my peers-a role that profoundly influenced my sense of purpose.
After a brief stint in the Army that ended due to an injury, I turned to nonprofit work, dedicating 25 years to empowering others. Today, I mentor youth in the same program that shaped my teenage years, guiding them to use the arts as a force for change. As Creative Director of Be Eccentrich Inc., I champion creative expression to enrich communities, often working in prisons and classrooms to fulfill my mission.
While poetry remains my foundation, my work spans many forms of artistic expression. Since 2016, I've competed in national poetry slams, earning top placements at events like the Exit 36 Festival and Blackberry Peach Festival.
My greatest pride lies in creating work that uplifts and inspires. Art is my way of processing life and encouraging others to do the same. Beyond entertainment, I aim to spark conversations and offer perspectives that challenge and unite.

Description de la boutique
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
