關於本電子書

Carlton was a thugged-out hustler that headed a mob of youngsters known as BDP (Boston Damn Projects) Crew. They were small time hustlers but notorious nonetheless and involved in everything from robbery, extortion, drugs, and murders. All the petty hustling stopped when Carlton hooked up with the largest cocaine dealer on the East Coast. Carlton had two problems: he was getting high on his own supply, and there was a rival drug dealer and vicious killer named Carlos (Dawg) who reigned over his crew of killers out of Piedmont Circle Projects. Latrice, who is Carltons lady, was innocent and unfamiliar to the life of hustlers out of the hood. She had been raised by her grandmother with Christian upbringing and was well educated and spiritually grounded. She enjoyed the money, gifts, and luxuries that came with being Carltons lady, but she had no street knowledge and was naive to the game. She was not mentally or physically strong enough to handle the chaos that was about to change her life forever. The Code of the Hood takes place in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and is full of drama, suspense, and excitement.

關於作者

Alfred Blue Flowers was born and raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He was a product of the same housing project that’s referred in this great urban (short story) novel. He understands that a man cannot move forward with his dreams and life until he lets go of his old lifestyle. He has changed his life greatly after writing this book in 2007. He has given his life to God and wants to continue in the Lord’s will. So with that being said, he is not sure if he will write another urban novel, but he will continue his dream of becoming an accomplished author, though in a different genre. This is such a great novel because this was once a part of his lifestyle and you can’t talk or write about something you’ve never experienced because your readers that have lived or grown up in this environment can and will distinguish what’s real and what’s fake. Blue, what this author is known by, has overcome many adversities to reach his goal of becoming this accomplished author. He actually wrote numerous urban novels incarcerated at different facilities in the North Carolina Penal System for nineteen years and ten months. Now that he has made it out of that storm, hopefully he can see the rainbow. Peace and blessings to all!
