Interview with Kendrick K. Cooley | Author of Love and Loyalty


How would you describe yourself in one word?

Relentless.

Because when life tried to silence my voice, I turned the noise into poetry. I don’t stop. I evolve.


Why do you feel this is the ideal profession for you?

Writing chose me before I ever chose it. This isn’t just a profession — it’s my resurrection. Every word I write is a survival story, a blueprint for the broken, and a warning to the world: greatness lives here.


Your latest project?

Love and Loyalty: The Code of Love – The Book That Changed My Life.”

It’s not just a story — it’s a movement. A gripping blend of heartbreak, healing, and high-stakes loyalty that’s already shifting minds and opening hearts. It’s about pain turned into power. It’s about Black brilliance and narrative ownership. It’s about me.


What’s the response you expect from your fans about your latest book?

I expect jaws to drop and minds to awaken. I want readers to close that final page and say, “This didn’t just entertain me — it healed me. It challenged me. It changed me.” Anything less wouldn’t be worthy of the pen I hold.


Can you please tell us about the most successful project you have worked on?

The most successful project? Myself. I turned trauma into art, struggled into strategy, and doubt into dominance. But if we’re talking books — “Moses: Turn My Pain Into Love” took the streets, the charts, and the culture by storm. It wasn’t just read. It was felt.


Your favorite book?

The Coldest Winter Ever by Sister Souljah. It was raw, real, and unapologetic. It showed me the power of truth, even when it’s gritty. It taught me that fiction can expose the facts of our reality.


What is your dream project?

A film series that brings my books to life — gritty, award-worthy, and soul-stirring. I want to put stories of survival, redemption, and unapologetic Black excellence on screens around the world. I want the world to feel us.

And I want Tyler Perry to direct the first one.


Your favorite author?

Besides Kendrick K. Cooley? I’d say Maya Angelou. Her pen had wings — she didn’t write, she freed people. She taught me the weight of words, the beauty of rhythm, and the power of standing tall even after crawling through hell.


How can your fans get updates about you? Your website or social media links?

I stay connected with my tribe.

DOUBLE CROSSED AND UNRAVELED by Kelsey Carlee

This memoir recounts the relationships that a young Kelsey experienced, such as how her whole world got turned upside down when she met Howie. It touches on her complicated relationship with her mother, and how the love she developed for Cole nearly cost her life.  The plot makes a full circle from when the author was younger to the adult version of herself, as she grieved the loss of her mother and had to look back at the past to be able to call things what they really were.

The Ishtar Cup | Murray Lee Eiland Jr.

Bart Northcote vigorously defies stereotypes. He is a Los Angeles private detective who also writes books that are loosely disguised as fiction.  He has a keen sense of making money from every job, and has a voracious appetite for art.  Here he is involved in tracking down the whereabouts of a fabulous antiquity, called the Ishtar Cup, which has been smuggled out of Iraq after the Gulf War.  The problem is that his client, who refuses to giver her real name, wants Bart to follow one of her co-conspirators to make sure they know that they are being watched. Bart suspects he is being played, but he has no idea why. www.amazon.com/Ishtar-Cup-Bart-Northcote/dp/1517362288
