The harder you try to escape, the more darkness pulls you under.

 

Art school dropout Ona Price is forced to clean up after a near-fatal overdose on a Manhattan sidewalk. While in recovery, she lands a job as the assistant to Antoni Azarov, the world-famous sculptor known as The Hands of God. Though he is difficult and brooding, his extraordinary talent reawakens Ona's passion for art, giving her life the meaning she so desperately craved. An undeniable attraction develops as they work together, but Antoni keeps his physical distance at all costs. When the predatory wife of a wealthy benefactor decides she wants the sculptor for herself, the monstrous secret that fuels Antoni’s art threatens to destroy all.

Hierarchy of Needs

The Sculptor Book 2

When self-destruction is the only way out ...

World-famous sculptor Antoni Azarov, and his muse, Ona Price are ripped apart after a shocking act of violence sends them into their own personal hells.

Trapped in Manhattan, Ona faces her most treacherous enemy, her addiction to heroin, while a dangerous new man claims her desire.

Antoni, an artist defamed, is hellbent on saving Ona before she destroys herself. What he doesn’t know is if she wants to be rescued.

Meanwhile, death haunts them on every corner as a vengeful crime boss called Warlock devours the city, poisoning its addicted population with a flesh-eating drug.

Amid this chaos, Ona and Antoni must struggle against their darkest selves to find a way back to each other—or else give in to the darkness forever.

The propulsive sequel to Oblivion Black, Hierarchy of Needs is an intoxicating exploration of the paradox of love, the chokehold of desire, and the deadly thrills of the underworld. This second book in The Sculptor Series will leave readers fiending for more.

Darklands

The Sculptor Book 3

The intoxicating finale to The Sculptor Series ... 

 

After cheating death in New York, Ona Price's battle scars run deeper than her disfigured face. Antoni Azarov orchestrates a journey to jolt them out of their artistic dead zone. From the boozy streets of New Orleans to the sultry shores of a Caribbean archipelago, they explore forbidden desires, testing the limits of pleasure and pain.

No matter where their experiences take them, their personal demons hunt them down until their journey ends on a remote lagoon called the Darklands. Will their love survive the dark secrets that threaten to tear them apart, or will the Darklands become the ultimate test of their commitment?

Unveil the dangerous beauty of Darklands, where the human psyche unravels in a sensuous journey that will leave you breathless.

"Darklands is a hair-raising conclusion to The Sculptor trilogy. It reads like a David Lynch erotic fever dream that constantly veers close to the edge of nightmare, ending with a spiritual awakening of biblical proportions. I wept. Adapt this into a movie at once." —Joseph Sale, author of The Book of Thrice Dead

As a writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?

Animals have been a huge part of my life. For the most part, I have found it easier to connect with animals than humans. I once managed an animal sanctuary in Florida where I had the opportunity to care for and work with a variety of species, including monkeys, alligators, parrots, snakes, tarantulas, llama, canines, even a camel. I also fed and cleaned up after lions, tigers, cougars, leopards, and lynx. It was a dream come true to bond so intimately with such a variety of beautiful creatures. I felt like they were all my pets.

I recently returned from a trip to India and learned about the Hindu gods and their vahanas. They each have an animal as a vehicle and part of their identities. What animal do I most connect with? I once used the Harry Potter app to discover my Patronus is a mole. Yes, a mole. Not so glamorous. I don’t think that works for the type of writing I do and the fact that my books display such a wide range of personalities.

It might be easier to choose and animal for The Sculptor Series on its own. I think I would choose the mythical dragon. On the Chinese zodiac, I am a dragon, and I happen to have a dragon tattoo (which I got before even knowing my Chinese sign). For me dragons are beautiful and mesmerizing and sexy. They can also be fierce and destructive. Ultimately, they are a symbol of powerful change, infinity, and totality, which is what The Sculptor Series is about. My characters embody all these traits and go through powerful transformations.

Guest Post #1

Me, Myself, and I

My journey as an author started over a decade ago when I was in high school. I loved reading and creating pieces of art that were inspired by my imagination. One day my science teacher asked us what we wanted to do for a career. Honestly, I hadn’t thought about it much because all I did was spend my time reading, going to school, doing chores, and sleeping. When I confessed to my teacher I didn’t know he looked at me and said I was going to be an author, because I loved books so much.

This led me to opening up a blog where I did writing contests while I was in college. I wrote several stories this way under my name. But eventually life caught up to me like it does for everyone and I struggled to get by every day. This led to writing going on the back burner for a few years and I started trying to find something I could do that would make money for me and my future family.

I wasted so many semesters in college trying to find myself. In the end I ended up going back to journalism that I started with. But I couldn’t stand to write formally for a paper. Then I found graphic design, fell in love with it and started my business doing book covers, logos, and so much other fun creative things. This helped me with creating books for fellow authors and myself.

After almost a decade, several false starts, and twin babies, I started my writing journey for real. I started writing under K.M. Jenkins in September 2018. The first stories I wrote were part of a series called the Tales of Ferrês. There were ten in total and I bundled them together at the end to add a bonus story within. This was my first book and not my last. I have struggled over the years since I started writing but every step is a learning process. In the end it is about to enjoy the process and helping people find a world they want to live in instead of the real world.

Right now I have ten short stories (Tales of Ferrês), one bundle book (Tales of Ferrês), two novellas (Tales of Tarza Series), one young adult horror short story (Darkest Delights), and two novels that I pulled down for right now. You can check out all my books on my WEBSITE or through my LINKTREE here.
