About me:


It has been said that when you read a book you go on a journey into the world of the unknown.... Are you ready? Are you? Good, come walk with me... Walk with me into my world....

I am the author who brings real stories and everyday situation to life with one stroke of a pen.

Coming February 5th, 2008,

BORN DYING

Don't wait until the last minute, Pre-Order your copy now!

Harold L. Turley II reveals the not so glamorous lifestyle of crime in this story of a Washington, DC kingpin and a drug addicted ex detective who cross paths and change each others lives forever.

There are two fates that come from indulgin in a life of crime: death or incarceration. Nate Rodgers and Lionel Taylor are opposites in every way. While Nate has achieved dubious power and fame by pushing drugs on the streets, Lionel has fallen from honor as a police detective by giving in to the lure of drug abuse and losing his family in the process.

When these two men meet, they inspire each other to rise above their circumstances and grasp at redemption. Nate gains a new purpose in life-to try and escape his drug selling lifestyle while saving those he has pushed down the path to addiction. At the same time, Lionel works to conquer his habit and regain the loved ones he's lost. Alone, they have no chance, but together they might muster the strength to overcome the consequences of their bad decisions.

Unvarnished and hard-hitting, Born Dying exposes the reality of drug addiction, telling the story from both sides-both user and pusher. Through the struggles, defeats, and victories, Born Dying is a story of hope, even in the darkest corners of life.

In Stores NOW,

CONFESSIONS OF A LONELY SOUL

Do you have your copy yet? If not, order it TODAY!

A young man dies of AIDS and leaves behind a mysterious videotape for his family that exposes his tormented life of secrets and guilt in a confession from beyond the grave.

DeMarco Reid left a videotape for his family to play during his funeral, but his family doesn't realize they are in for the shock of their lives. In it, DeMarco appears in a pre-recorded message to admit the many secrets that tore his life apart, including why his wife committed suicide, how he contracted HIV, his connection to a murder, and ultimately, his quest for meaning in life.

But there are two sides to every story. Is DeMarco's tell-all actually true, or are there even more shocking secrets threatening to shake this family to its foundations?

With HIV an ever-increasing threat in the African-American community, this story approaches the topic with both refreshing candor and compassion. Confessions of a Lonely Soul reminds readers of the insidious danger of keeping secrets, and the cost of living a double-life to deceive those you love the most. In the end, are any secrets worth dying to keep?

Also available,

LOVE'S GAME

Terry, Jeff, and Tyrelle manage a nightclub together, where the cousins have their pick of any woman they desire. Terry is a former college basketball star married to Tracy, and cheating with Angie. But meaningless affairs are starting to leave Terry feeling hollow inside. He decides it's time to clean up his act, only to discover that it's too late. A lifetime player, Jeff has finally realized that he's ready to settle down with his current girlfriend. The problem is, he's feeling guilty about all the times he was unfaithful to her. Clearing his conscience would give him a clean slate, but will it cost him the most important relationship of his life? As for Ty, he's caught between a rock and a hard place: he loves his freedom but at the same time doesn't want to lose his girlfriend. And his lovers is about to drop a bombshell taht will reverberate across every area of his life.

Funny, Sensuous, and Dead-on target when it comes to the games lovers play, Love's Game tells what happens when the tables are turned and teh stakes are raised.

Harold L. Turley II is also a contributing author in the erotic tale.....A CHOCOLATE SEDUCTION

The taboo of sexual indulgence is unleashed in this collection of erotic stories designed to awaken your sweet tooth and leave you throbbing with desire. Can you taste it? The smooth, delicate flavor of the cocoa bean as it melts on your tongue? The swirling sensation in the pit of your stomach as your nipples harden? Can you smell it? The sweet aroma emanating from the sugary substance? The intoxicating scent of arousal on moistened, pulsating lips? Can you feel it? Soft, velvety, creamed to perfection. The gift of orgasm whether swallowed or licked upon expulsion. A collection of fiction's hottest African-American authors team up for this insatiable compilation!

Harold L. Turley II brings you his story Chocolate Craving where he'll leave your body sexually craving more while your mind is sensually satisfied. Read with caution as once you've finished his story you'll never look at a Snickers bar the same....
