Blind Author Announces Debut of Series Centered on Flawed
but Fierce Black Women in America
Houston, TX.— Before her Hollywood dreams were shattered,
Pearle Monalise Brown was the tenacious aspiring actress
from Compton's unforgiving, scarred streets. Never broken,
Pearle switches gears to a fallback plan — resorting to
using her beauty and acting skills to swindle money and
expensive jewels. When she's hired by the Colombian cartel
to steal a priceless Basquiat from a debonair kingpin and
art collector named Blaque, her talents might not be enough
to keep her from falling into a trap she
never saw coming.
In Blaque Pearle, the riveting debut from Tarris
Marie, the genres of women’s crime and urban romance collide
in a sophisticated, action-packed story featuring a deeply
flawed but relatable protagonist who will risk everything
for love and for her family — and she just might have to.
Blaque is sagacious and handsome, not to mention the legacy
of two powerful organized crime families: the Laurents,
known dons hailing from Kingston, Jamaica; and the Savages,
a sophisticated syndicate with criminal enterprises across
the U.S.
As Blaque and Pearle become passionately entangled, Pearle
falls prey to a darker underworld. Time is ticking. Lives
are at stake. Will these love outlaws be able to outsmart
their enemies, or will they wage an all-out war, leaving the
bodies to fall wherever they may?
“Blaque Pearle is a riveting page-turner, fueled by complex
characters, erotic energy, and high-stakes action. I
couldn’t put it down,” said Tanisha C. Ford, author of
Dressed in Dreams: A Black Girl’s Love Letter to the Power
of Fashion. “Tarris Marie is a fresh voice on the
literary scene who is re-imagining the urban crime and
suspense genres. I’m excited to see what she writes next.
She’s definitely one to watch.”
