🚨 NEW BOOK ALERT 🚨

📖 Lucille
🗓 Release Date: January 15, 2026

Power isn’t given.
It’s taken, protected, and paid for in blood, silence, and sacrifice.

Lucille drags readers into the heart of a city where money moves quietly, loyalty is a liability, and survival demands impossible choices. Behind neon lights and closed doors, Lucille navigates a world ruled by men who mistake control for strength—and women who learn how dangerous it is to be underestimated.

This is a story about:

💔 Love that costs too much

🔥 Power that attracts enemies

🖤 Loyalty that can get you killed

👑 A woman standing at the center of a war she didn’t start—but may have to finish

Every chapter is tense.
Every decision has consequences.
And every secret comes with a price.

If you think you know how this world works—
Lucille will prove you wrong.

📚 Coming January 15, 2026

🌩️ CROSSED PATHS — A Jay Clark Novel 🌩️
In Clarksville, some connections save you…
and some connections break you.

Hazel is doing everything she can to outrun the chaos in her life — the bills, the pressure, the past knocking at her door.
Zac is loyal down to the bone but one wrong move away from losing control.
Jackie is trying to keep everybody from falling apart, even while her own world quietly cracks.
And Dante… Dante is the spark with a dangerous fire behind him, the kind of person who can change a life or ruin it just by walking in.

These four weren’t supposed to collide the way they do.
But when their paths cross, emotions get tangled, loyalties get tested, and the truth starts cutting deeper than any of them expected.

Secrets break open.
Feelings get messy.
And the choices they make will change everything.

🔥 Raw, emotional, character-driven drama
🔥 Hazel and Zac’s growing tension
🔥 Dante’s influence shifting the whole dynamic
🔥 Jackie holding the pieces together the best she can

If you love stories built on real emotion, flawed characters, and drama that hits home…

✨ NEW RELEASE BY JAY CLARK ✨
THE GUARDIAN CHRONICLES: BROKEN HALO

Benjamin was never the “obedient angel” type.
He follows orders… when they make sense.
But when Heaven starts moving funny and the cracks in his halo show up like warning signs he didn’t ask for, Benjamin knows one thing:

If something threatens Clarksville, he’s not waiting on permission to handle it.

Smart-mouthed, sharp-eyed, and two steps ahead of everyone — even the beings upstairs — Benjamin moves through the mortal world with confidence and attitude. He sees what others don’t. He hears what Heaven won’t admit. And he’s not afraid to call out anybody — angel, demon, or human — who tries to play him.

But when a darker force tests the boundaries between realms, Benjamin realizes his halo didn’t crack by accident.
Someone wants him weaker.
Someone wants him distracted.
Someone wants him gone.

And they’re about to learn the hard way:
a broken halo doesn’t mean a broken angel.

🔥 Sarcastic, confident angel lead
🔥 Real-world tension meets supernatural warfare
🔥 Fast-paced, emotional, and sharp-edged
🔥 A story about power, purpose, and refusing to bow

Hazel

Hazel is a woman caught between dreams of peace and the harsh reality around her. She’s searching for stability, longing for a love that feels safe and eternal. When she meets Zac, she begins to believe she’s found it. But Hazel’s optimism blinds her to the storm gathering around her.

Zac

Zac is a man haunted by loyalty, grief, and survival. His closest friend Dante has always been more like a brother, but when tragedy strikes, Zac is thrust into a spiral of guilt and questions about his own faith. He wants to be the protector for Hazel, but his inner battles—and the danger surrounding his world—make it difficult to give her the peace she craves.

Jackie

Jackie, , is Hazel’s close friend and the wild card of the story. Struggling with bipolar disorder, she oscillates between moments of clarity and the pull of the streets. Her life choices often put her at odds with Hazel, and her presence in the story becomes a reminder of how fragile hope can be when chaos is always close by.

Dante

Dante is the heart and conscience of Zac’s world. His struggles and decisions force Zac to face his own demons. Dante’s journey, cut short by tragedy, reverberates throughout the book—his death becoming the spark that shifts everything, especially for Zac and Hazel.

By the end of Crossed Paths, lives are forever altered. Love grows, but so does danger. Hazel and Zac cling to each other in the wake of tragedy, Jackie teeters on the edge of destruction, and new players begin to emerge. It’s only the beginning of a saga where every choice has a consequence, and every crossed path leads deeper into the storm.

Where it all begins:
It starts with Crossed Paths, the spark that sets everything in motion. Friendships are tested, secrets are uncovered, and choices are made that echo far beyond one book. Every decision creates ripples that shape lives in ways no one sees coming.

The Storm Gathers:
By Crossed Paths 2: A Storm is Coming, the universe widens. New characters like Ace, a man torn between his faith and his past, step into the spotlight. Jackie wrestles with her bipolar struggles, caught between hope and destruction. Hazel is caught up in love and bliss, blind to the dangers circling around her. Zac fights to carry grief while searching for healing he doesn’t believe he deserves.
Coming Soon!!!

What to Expect in the Journey Ahead:
Across ten powerful books, you’ll meet pastors, hustlers, dreamers, survivors, and broken hearts trying to find healing. You’ll see how choices ripple through generations. Some characters will rise. Others will fall. And in the middle of it all, the small town of Clarksville becomes a stage where destiny is written.

Why You Should Step Into Clarksville:
The Clarksville Universe isn’t just stories—it’s a mirror. It’s about faith when life feels impossible. It’s about second chances when you think you’ve blown them all. It’s about love, loyalty, betrayal, and forgiveness. Whether you’re here for the drama, the romance, or the inspiration, you’ll find yourself in these characters and their battles.

Thank You for Supporting:
To everyone stepping into this universe—thank you. Your support makes this vision possible. Each like, share, and word of encouragement helps bring these characters to life. This is only the beginning.

But when a sarcastic guardian angel shoves him onto the court with two minutes left, he's forced to chase glory he's hilariously unprepared for. Full of laugh-out-loud fails, sharp dialogue, and heart, Alley Oops! is a fast-paced comedy about second chances and knowing what you really pray for.
