Excerpt from Love, Song & Dance (Chapt. 16)

ONE WOULD THINK THAT I was in ecstasy after spending time with LeShard, but it was far from the truth. I still had my struggles and inner conflicts. I wanted to live a life worthy of the Lord telling me one day, “Thank you. Well done. Enter into My rest, son.” However, I knew as soon as I left LeShard’s that I should be the first one attending church crying out to Him for help.

So whenever I’ve found myself caught up in my inner turmoil, church had always been a way of releasing that pressure.

My drive back to Atlanta was surprisingly fast. There was no traffic on I-20. I tried calling LeShard once I reached the city limits, informing him that I had made in back; there was no answer.

Blaq’s timing was uncanny. “Are you going to church this morning?”

I answered, “I was thinking about maybe a surprise visit at J’aron’s church.”

“I see. I was thinking about catching an early service, you know what I mean? But I hadn’t yet decided where I’d go.”

“You’re welcomed to come with me.”

“Sounds like a plan. I really didn’t want to go anywhere alone.”

I noticed that I did not have any time to waste if I wanted to make it to Victory Love Outreach for the 8:45 a.m. service. My brother, who’s the pastor, is known as a stickler for punctuality and order. So, as I swooped into the section of parking closest to the church, I barely missed hitting a black BMW 745i that straddled two spaces with its nose out too far. I slowed down and allowed some of the parishioners to pass in front of me.
Then I signaled to turn into a spot next to J’aron’s merlot Infiniti FX-45 SUV when one of the self-proclaimed church dignitaries came out of nowhere motioning me to lower my window.

“Can’t you read the sign? You can’t park in this area. This is for the church’s ministers and invited guests.” He then pointed to another section in the parking lot. “You need to move your car elsewhere.”

A Different Voice: Love, Song & Dance

For more than a decade, readers were entertained by novels written by the late E. Lynn Harris, whose work inspired new authors to share similar stories on love, relationships, and life.

MavLit’s Jevon L. Mack takes that baton and runs with reckless abandon in his debut novel Love, Song & Dance. The book is available in ebook and can be downloaded on Kindle and NOOK. The print version will be released August 26, 2011.

“Fast-paced . . . brimming with coporate murder, illicit romance, love lost and mourned, and bootylicious lacivousness,” says Stanley Bennett Clay, award-winning playwright and author.

Mack offers no apologies about his main character, Ja’Quan Jones, who takes off on an unexpected rise up the corporate ladder. Along the way, Ja’Quan tries finding love after heartbreaks and disappointments from his past.

“Ja’Quan was the combination of six individuals that are distinctly different, yet all shared three common issues: each has an inner sexual struggle, each are born and bred church boys trying to walk by faith, and each want a shot at love,” Mack explains.

MavLit Publishing Debuts Summer-Fall 2011

MavLit Publishing is about action. In less than a year after its inception, we’re poised to bring excellence to your literary world.

On Aug. 26, readers will become acqauinted with Ja’Quan Jones in Jevon L. Mack’s debut novel Love, Song & Dance.

Mack said writing this novel began as a catharsis. “What came from roughly four paragraphs were the emotions, sentiments of individuals and events that happened around me that grazed my heart, mind and spirit, allowing me to free myself and spew what had been in me for so long but never would come out right verbally.”

S.B. Redd was once asked what distinguished him from most authors. Known as The Maverick among his author colleagues, he was quick to respond by saying his work has a differnt voice, a diferent style, and it always has an edge to it. His in-your-face approach is a perfect match with MavLit Publishing.

Mr. Redd rounds out MavLit Publishing’s initial offering of literary work with two novels. The first releases on Sept. 23. Warped Intentions is a novel that provokes readers to ask the questions who can they trust and does everyone you know have your best interests at heart?


The other is a scintillating work of erotica. Temptation.com re-releases on Nov 4, and readers be warned that you should log on at your own risk. This book broaches issues of sexual and porn addiction. Royale Cole is bold, daring, and confident while Ulyssa Howard is a delicously alluring woma who has certain requirements and needs that must be met. The two meet on a popular adult dating and swinger’s website.
