Shane Berryhill’s first dark adult fantasy is the story of ZORA BANKS—a beautiful, Southern conjure woman of mixed race—as told through the eyes of her partner, ASH OWENS, a pretty boy-redneck cursed with a monstrous alter ego. When Tennessee State Representative Jack Walker hires Ash to find his missing, drug-addicted wife, Ash finds himself at odds with Chattanooga’s various underworld gangs—both the living and the unliving—as he and Zora become embroiled in a far-reaching occult organization’s grab for ultimate power. Equal parts True Blood and Justified, Bad Mojo is a dark delight for fans of urban fantasy, Southern Gothics, paranormal romance, and hardboiled crime. It's book one in Berryhill's "Zora Banks" series.

Mucho Mojo is the basis for the second season of the new Sundance TV series Hap and Leonard. Hap and Leonard return in this incredible, mad-dash thriller, loaded with crack addicts, a serial killer, and a body count. Leonard is still nursing the injuries he sustained in the duo's last wild undertaking when he learns that his Uncle Chester has passed. Hap is of course going to be there for his best friend, and when the two are cleaning up Uncle Chester's dilapidated house, they uncover a dark little secret beneath the house's rotting floor boards—a small skeleton buried in a trunk. Hap wants to call the police. Leonard, being a black man in east Texas, persuades him this is not a good idea, and together they set out to clear Chester's name on their own. The only things standing in their way is a houseful of felons, a vicious killer, and possibly themselves.

Nature, I have found, provides us with these personifications of personal development; we just have to be open and curious enough to interpret them as such. I have selected this collection of poems to reflect the turmoil and ascension, the rise and fall of my recovery over the last 7 years.

My emotions are raw and real, and I have been nothing but honest in these pages. Life is a journey. Life is a battlefield. Life is a delicate balancing act that sometimes causes us to wobble and misjudge the plummeting plummet to the ground. But I've learned how to pluck my fallen self up - from the mud, as it will - and return in constant pursuit of this light.
