Excerpt:

Suicide

Standing at the alter waiting for my future bride.

Joking with my Best Woman but hiding how I feel inside.

Since many love us together I figured we should do this.

But deep down inside I doubt this would be marital bliss.

The song starts and our guests rise to their feet.

Sweat pouring down my face like someone turned up the heat.

Hands starts to shake and people think it’s my nerves.

But the truth is I’m mad because I feel marriage is for the birds.

Now I’m staring at the ceiling wishing that I could take it all back.

Why did I get myself in this? My thoughts are off track.

I need to buy some time to figure a way out.

How the hell did I let “Will you marry me?” come out of my mouth.

I blame my mom because they are too close.

I told her to chill out but she stays doing the most.

My sister was in on it too, even helped plan this thing.

Forcing me out of bed to buy a beautiful wedding ring.

Shifting my weight at the alter as panic is setting in.

How could I be marrying this girl when I’m sleeping with her friend?

Her family thinks that I’m perfect while I’m doing so wrong.

Telling her that I love her but hiding pictures in my phone.

I wanted to end this and tell her to find another fish in the sea.

She’s a lovely woman but just not someone for me.

The whispers bring me out my trance. “Here comes the bride,” they’re saying.

I see my life is about to end so I just start praying.

Lord if you get me out of this I promise not to return to this place.

I started to stop the wedding then realized it was too late.

My future bride is in my sight marching down in her gown.

Here she comes with her father, what do I do now?

I take his spot next to her and we continue making our way.

This is some bullshit. I definitely had better days.

“You may all be seated,” the minister said to our guests.

Then he continued with the ceremony as my heart race in my chest.

I make it to our vows, she went first with hers.

Damn, she should be with someone else because I’m not who she deserves.

I’m up next. It’s time to take my vows.

Take a deep breath and wipe sweat from my brows.

“You know that I love you.” A lump formed in my throat.

My mouth suddenly got dry as soon as I spoke.

“You’re okay!” Someone yelled from their seat.

But whoever it was definitely didn’t know me.

Tears formed in my eyes as I grab my chest then neck.

Everyone went into a panic when I hit the deck.

“Someone call the ambulance,” I heard my mother cry.

I rather fake a heart attack because marriage is suicide.

Q & A with Kruze

What books/authors have influenced your writing? 

Although my favorite two books are Standing at the Scratch Line by Guy Johnson and Sasha’s Way by Scott Haskins are my favorite books, I would have to say that Fly Girl by Omar Tyree was the book that influenced me to become a writer. After ready Fly Girl I was like, “I can do this,” and so I did. I started writing novels and haven’t stopped.

Tell us something you hate doing. Why?

Working for other people. I started Urban Legends Publishing because I realized that I’m the type of person that’s best at the head of the table. I’ve had a few jobs where “bosses” don’t realize what it takes to run a successful business. In my opinion you have to learn to be a great follower before you become a great leader and that’s something everyone don’t understand.

When you are in writer mode, music or no music? If music, do you have a playlist? 

When I’m writing poetry I listen to music because I read it back like a rap or song. Usually my playlist consist of Keyshia Cole, K. Michelle, Monica, TLC, and Kelly Rowland. I don’t listen to music when I’m writing novels.

Who was your favorite hero/heroine?

My favorite heroine is Sasha from Scott Haskins’ novel Sasha’s Way. She’s a battered woman counselor who takes it upon herself to get justice for her clients.

Have you ever had one character you wanted to go one way with but after the book was done the character was totally different? 

Absolutely. In my novel Momma Says, Andre, who is the father of the lead character totally changed at the last minute in the last chapter.
