*Book overview*

SHADOW

Reap What You Sow!

Is the beginning of something bigger than a fantasy series. It’s the opening chapter of the VevéVerse — a world that stretches across generations, continents, and even the spirit world. At its heart, though, it’s a story about memory, justice, and reclaiming what was stolen.

I wrote this book as both a father and a teacher, but also as someone who once couldn’t read or write when I left school. The VevéVerse grew out of that struggle — and out of a promise I made to my daughters to leave them a legacy that carried truth, dignity, and hope. Too often, the Caribbean and Voodoo are reduced to caricatures or fear. Here, they are given back their depth. Their beauty. Their power.

Through characters like Shadow — a mystical figure caught between judgment and mercy — these stories wrestle with vengeance, balance, and redemption. They weave together ancestral magic, history, and spiritual philosophy into something that feels both timeless and urgent.

The VevéVerse is for the forgotten. For the misrepresented. For the resilient.

It’s for every voice that history tried to silence.

And this is just the beginning...
