The spark of all dilemmas is lies and deception
Just what is love? Is it just a word people use for personal gain? Is it a verb that needs creativity expression in order to understand its full meaning? Or, is it just looking in the mirror?
For Chantrelle Hayfield, love is simplicity. But, she lives in Atlanta, a complex city full of surprises. Like her chiseled, tall, and chocolate next door neighbor, Rasheed Goodmen, who could be a new love interest? But, when her best friend, Ashley Leslie, comes out about her true feelings, will Chantrelle be able to handle the convoluted feelings of others even if that means losing her simplicity?
Chantrelle's other friends Ariel Samson and Alexis Smith could be able to guide her? But, Ariel needs to learn to be a little selfish and Alexis has to stop scheming to get by. The underworld of Atlanta will test each of these women. Because behind the spark of every dilemma, is lies and deception. Who will be able to see clearly in order to avoid tragedy?
Chapter 1 Preview
The night is at its darkest in the suburban area of Gwinnett County when the residents of the Sugarloaf Country Club retire for the night. The Casper-white moon light radiates brazenly, polishing the streets. The crickets begin to creak and mingle, while the waft of the earth's musk flows into the nostrils of Chantrelle Hayfield.
The young 22-year-old tattoo artist and entrepreneur loves to put on her white and purple striped pumas, black puma tights, and white sports bra and jog through the streets. The streets serve as a sanctuary. With every step, a jolt of lightning surges through her, releasing the frustrations of the day. There is no need for music. The thumping of her feet hitting the ground serves as the perfect accompaniment to Mozart. Her strides stay consistent until she reaches her mailbox.
"Let's see what we have here?" she says softly to herself. She shuffles through her mail and discovers it's all junk mail. She was hoping for another check, but it's no big deal. Besides, it's not good to be money hungry all the time. Chantrelle knows this all too well. She owns several booming tattoo shops, has written several books about tattooing, and is a freelance model. Her days are never dull, but they are always full, leaving little time for herself.
She walks steadily toward her doorstep and discovers an unknown vehicle in her driveway.
"Who car is this?" she asks.
It's not uncommon for an unknown car to be in her driveway. Her neighbor has a bad habit of getting drunk and parking at the wrong house. When you work sixteen hours a day at a law firm and just recently got a divorce, alcohol can easily become your new mistress. She shrugs it off, steps in front of her door, inserts the keys, and opens it.
"Drew! I'm home." Chantrelle announces. "I had such a good workout just now." No reply. Strange, Drew is always eager to see his baby come home, but today, it seems that only the television is awaiting her arrival.
"This is a little strange." Chantrelle wanders into the living room to see open pizza boxes, a running kitchen faucet, and open bottles of Hennessey. Just what the hell happened after Chantrelle left for her one-hour run?
She finds strands of blonde hair all over her leather couch. This is highly upsetting for Chantrelle. She gathers all the hair and proceeds to the kitchen, slamming the hair in the garbage before going to the sink to wash her hands. As she scrubs the vermin off her hands, she can't stop a barrage of curse words from flying out of her mouth.
With clean hands, she lets out a deep sigh of relief. In her peripheral vision, something added more suspense to this mystery. There are three wine glasses. One is half filled and the other two are empty, with a pink lipstick residue. Chantrelle lifts the glass of wine and nods her head in disapproval.
She lifts the other glass with the pink lipstick and examines it.
"I can't believe this shit!" Chantrelle shouts out loud. Her mighty hand crushes the champagne glasses into shards like a gemstone being drilled into finer fragments. Her hands drip with balefire-red blood as she opens the sink cabinet to arm herself with her trusted 9 mm. She cocks the chamber back and marches toward the bedroom. But just a few feet down, all the might within her to advance any further is sapped. Her steps change from loud and determined to a discreet muffle.
The murmuring activity in her bedroom isn't making Chantrelle exactly comfortable. In fact, it's only adding to her anxiousness. She continues to creep toward the bedroom door and notices it's cracked open. She peeps inside. The lights are dim--bright enough to see inside, but dark enough only to show silhouettes. The humidity of the room punches Chantrelle in the face along with the full-bodied aroma of another woman's sex and sweat. Even though she is armed, her hands tremble as she witnesses her boyfriend of four months with two unknown women in her own bed. Her eyelids bear the weight of a battered soldier, shutting them is the only way to block this reality and her tears.
The noises the women make with Drew are similar to the ones Chantrelle makes with him, but they were more lustful. It's sickening to know that the love she was trying to forge with this man is now tainted. Unwillingly, she slowly opens her heavy eyes and grasps her lover's betrayal.
Drew and his two companions find themselves entangled in the threads of ecstasy. His dark skinned lover enjoys riding his shaft as she slowly coils her hips onto him. His Asian persuasion girl watches alongside and nibbles his rigid nipples. They continue to deepen themselves into the webs of their lustful threesome, until a series of bullets are shot into the ceiling. That put a stop to the orgy; the girls scatter off the bed, grabbing a few articles of their clothing to cover themselves. Drew is taken aback when he looks into Chantrelle's once soft, now hard, arctic eyes.
"Baby," Drew extending his hands toward Chantrelle, attempting to explain. "This isn't what you thi--."
Author Interview:
What inspired you to write The Worst Dilemma?
My biggest inspiration for my book was my new newly defined purpose. I want people to see that talent can be expressed in so many different ways. I choose to express my talent by painting a canvas with my words. Knowing that one day, somebody will be inspired to write because of me is the biggest inspiration for me to craft more heartening material.
When or at what age did you know you wanted to be a writer?
After my suicide attempt is when I discover I wanted to become a writer. I was 18 with no purpose until a hunch told me to write down what I was feeling inside. Forty thousand words later, I knew I what my purpose was.
What is the earliest age you remember reading your first book?
Hmm…around fourteen. I believe the first novel I read was Tears of a Tiger. It was a very good read that I should read again when I have the time.
What genre of books do you enjoy reading?
Erotica, Sci-Fi, Self-Help, Fantasy, and Action Adventure.
What is your favorite book?
She's My Baby.
You know I think we all have a favorite author. Who is your favorite author and why?
J.R.R Tolkien. His novels really inspire me to write fantasy. The world he created has so much depth that when I read his novels. I feel as if I'm a part of that world. Adrianne Byrd is also my favorite author because she is the main reason why I write romance novels. Her book, She's My Baby, was the spark to my erotica writing.
When writing a book do you find that writing comes easy for you or is it a difficult task?
The easiest part is coming up with the idea of the book. To me, I find it second nature to put together the beginning pieces of the novel together. What is tricky is revising the first draft. This is where you realize how shitty your first draft is and how much more work needs to be done in order to have a beautiful manuscript.
Do you have any little fuzzy friends? Like a dog or a cat? Or any pets?
I use to have a dog name puppy, but my uncle took him away from me a long time ago.
What is your "to die for", favorite food/foods to eat?
African Food, shrimp, Chinese and Japanese food, and Jamaican Beef Patties.
Do you have any advice for anyone that would like to be an author?
When you start you novel, see it through all the way to the end. Don't give up no matter what. Also, research and develop a strong marketing plan and get some buzz about your novel before publishing it. Nothing is worse than coming out with a book that nobody knows about. Set money aside so you can get some reviews already set for publication. Remember, as a self-published author, you have two jobs. A writer and published. Know both jobs well so you can maximize your book sales.
