Books by Randy Boyd

As a child, I imagined books and movies about someone like me. Rarely did I see images of people who thought like me, acted like me and with whom I could identify. And that was just in real life! On television, in novels and in the movies, I simply didn't exist.

Makes a brutha feel like Hollywood and the book world can't imagine someone like me being worthy of a plot.

Fortunately, they don't have to. I'm imagining it for them. Here now, my four novels to date. They're like my kids. I'm happy with the way they turned out.

My books are available as both print and ebooks, generally speaking, wherever most books are sold. Go here for direct links to my books and author pages at Apple's iBookstore, Smashwords.com and Barnesandnoble.com. The links below lead to Amazon.
