Amani ShakheteInspired by her own life, Atlanta Author Amanishakhete (Uh-ma-nee-sha-keet), named after the ancient Nubian Queen Amanishakheto, conjures up an imagination full of colorful characters that make up the LaTonya trilogy. Readers never know what's comingnext when they turn the pages of her amazing new series filled with characters from all walks of life - characters she feels she channels. They speak to me, says Amanishakhete. I definitely hear their voices and let them say and do as they please. No wonder this fresh new fiction writer captures the attention of readers from 16 to 60. Along with fiction writing and authorship, Amanishakhete is a Word-Soul artist who writes and performs her own lyrics underscored by original music composed by Portland hip hop artist and producer Anuff. Amanishakhete plays herself in the series. Fans can purchase her music at CD Baby and iTunes.
