Would you have sex in exchange for socks? A Pair of White Tube Socks begins the moment Patrick Melton, a black man, enters an adult bookstore one cold, snowy night. While spectating and seeking sexual gratification, he meets Joe, a homeless white man who befriends him just to get his feet dry. Patrick decides to take advantage of Joe and use him to satisfy his own sexual needs. Instead of quid pro quo, the situation gets totally out of hand. Along the road of consequences, Patrick liberates himself from his own psycho-sexual prison and accepts his true nature. A Pair of White Tube Socks has many unexpected surprises that will keep you tantalized for more. This tale is not for the faint of heart. So be prepared to drop your jaw, enlarge your eyes, prune your face and laugh your "socks" off! New York Times Best Selling Author JL King has teamed up with author Adolphus Herndon to share a peculiarly erotic antidote that will shed a new light on the spontaneity and excitement of one gay man's seemingly routine sex life from a unique perspective. A Sexy Seductive and Suspenseful Page Turner with a Twist...A Pair Of White Tube Socks sizzles and satisfies any reader with a healthy appetite for sex and drama. With its candid and slightly comical edge, this book draws in the reader and refuses to let go until the last word is read.

Love on a Two-Way Street

Now in paperback, in the bestselling tradition of E. Lynn Harris, a gripping novel about a group of high-powered millionaires who each harbors a secret about their sexuality.  Juice is a music mogul with the midas touch, so it’s no surprise that his fianceé is not just the queen of hip-hop—she is a multi-platinum-selling, six-time Grammy winner and also a fashion icon. Her father, a retired police officer, doesn’t approve of their relationship. While perhaps a bit overprotective, he sees through the luxurious lifestyle and feels like something is not quite right with Juice. But his suspicions are not enough to stop their wedding, which is the music industry event of the year, held at Trump Tower in New York City, with all of hip-hop royalty attending. And while everyone is toasting the happy couple, what they don’t know is that Juice is the leader of an underground world of the most powerful men in the country who are on the DL, or down low.  Just as King’s bestselling book On the Down Low put the provocative topic of men who lie about their sexuality on the map, this new novel will have readers wondering if there is a real-life persona behind these fictional characters.

Everyone has a story of being the victim of CP time. It's been responsible for the termination of jobs and relationships, and for delaying weddings and even funerals. CP Time is the first book to examine a behavior that crosses all social economic lines within the black community in a way that will bring smiles and groans of recognition to victims and culprits alike. In brisk, engaging chapters, J.L. King provides humorous examples and personal stories, voicing the opinions of those who view habitual lateness as just part of being black, and those who see it as a more serious problem. Recounting the reasons and excuses offered in CP time's defense, King provides a wry and often hilarious history of how and why the phenomenon began. Light-hearted yet enlightening, CP Time makes a perfect gift for the chronically tardy -- and all those affected by them.
