An excerpt from:

WHAT A WOMAN'S GOTTA DO

the book

featuring Atlanta journalist Patricia Conley

There is no way all my money for martial arts lessons is going to waste. I actually thought that thought before I stepped in with my right foot. I grabbed him by both lapels and shoved my foot into his stomach. I dropped down on my back, throwing him over my head, while still holding on to him. I felt the weight of his huge body coming upward with my momentum. I allowed his momentum to pull me back over on top of him. While squatting on his chest, I reached down and drove both thumbs into his eyes. Without slowing I executed an open-hand technique to his windpipe.

The person began sputtering. Coughing. I struck again, this time using a V hand strike.

Crash. Still coughing, the attacker grabbed my arm. I jumped up off his chest and grabbed his wrist with my right hand, twisted it and flipped him over on his stomach. I placed my right foot on the floor and pulled his arm up against my bent knee, dislocating his shoulder and breaking his elbow.

He screamed.

Before I made my way in the direction of the door, I kicked him in the back of his head with my heel, driving his face into the floor. Now, that's what I call kicking them to the curb!

"Through the prism of African culture, Evelyn Coleman has woven a fantastic story blending mythical tradition with new realities and science.... We have our first suspense thriller and it is a sure bestseller."
-- Fanta Mutota, African Spectrum Bookstore, Atlanta Georgia

"An outstanding debut thriller. Suspenseful, exciting, mystical -- a truly original story. But more than that, a female protagonist that the reader will truly care for and enjoy watching grow. I look forward to more books by Evelyn Coleman.
-- Mike Sussman, Manager, Chapter 11 bookstore, Alpharetta, Georgia

"I am very excited about this new thriller. I love the psychological exploration of the characters and the way Coleman incorporates ancient Eastern arts into the story. Patricia Conley is not your typical black female protagonist. A great book!
