Syracuse, NY -- (SBWire) -- 11/26/2014 --While history is awash with literary “greats”, rarely do multiple generations of a family collaborate to produce works spanning everything from adult suspense to children’s fantasy fiction. But that’s exactly what Keisha Seals and her family have been doing for years – and the results show.
Seals, her niece LaKeisha Doyle and daughter, Desaree Seals, originally collaborated to write ‘Black Rose – The Final Thirteen – The Ultimate Twist’ and ‘New Neighbor’, two suspenseful and vividly-realistic novels that fuse their enigma with a unique brand of dark humor.

This thrilled seeking suspense novel will keep you guessing and have you on the end of your seat, what you expect to happened wont but what you don’t will happen."
“Both novels throw readers through twists and turns that culminate in heart-stopping suspense,” explains Keisha. “’Black Rose’ takes its cues from the traditions of the horror genre, while ‘New Neighbor’ exploits the grey area between fact and fiction with a narrative that will be chillingly close to home for most readers.”
Continuing, “But ‘Mommy Tell Me a Story’ is perhaps our most adventurous project yet. While it’s a children’s book and therefore totally different to anything else we have written, we called on many younger members of our family including Daquan Doyle, Shawn Seals II and George Jackson Jr. to become co-authors. They provided the many short stories that make up this educational, funny and enchanting new book.”
Synopsis:
‘Mommy Tell Me a Story’ - A Fairy tales story with the power to teach children valuable lessons of love, loyalty and friendship. In these stories some of the characters are transformed into magical creatures.
With two generations still hard at work on the writing table, an abundance of ideas yet to be explored and even plans to pitch books to movie producers, Keisha Seals and her band of related writers exemplify the creative side of the American Dream.
‘New Neighbors’ and ‘Mommy Tell me a Story’ are due for imminent release.
