Carl Allen Hampton is a successful real estate developer in Detroit. Born in rural East Texas as the civil rights era ramped up, he spent most summers with his dad, Bradley, in Detroit. This story unpacks his early years growing up in an extended family and learning valuable life lessons. For some reason, his life seems to always get turned upside down. First was the divorce of his parents, Bradley and Rachel. This dovetails right into the breakup with his childhood girlfriend, Jackie Hunt. Things get worse as he is one of the kids helping to integrate Marshall public schools as a seventh grader. Life seems to settle down, and things seem to go smoothly for a while. He has a new girlfriend, Michelle Burns, who lives the next street over from Jackie. The summer before his senior year at Marshall High School, he’s in Detroit, working at a gas station. He bumps into Felicia Barnes, whom he rode ten-speed bikes with a couple of summers back. She and her friend Van Howard stop by the station where he works to buy gas for Van’s car. The city has worn him out, and he is so ready to go home. The day before he is to fly back to Marshall, he is locked up for grand theft auto! If he thought his life was upside down before he went to jail, the ride is about to get bumpier. Rachel is livid with Bradley when she realizes he has allowed him to drive the eleven hundred miles from Detroit to Marshall alone. He has problems with Michelle when she finds out a young lady named Pam Matthews, from Detroit, who attends Wiley College, made the trip with him. Then all hell breaks loose. This book has it all, romance, heartbreak, suspense, all set in rural East Texas and Detroit.

Above the Clouds

Taking Flight

By: V Karl Whitfield

Carl Allen Hampton has spent five years building Millennium Realty into a powerhouse brokerage in the Detroit Metro market. Standing beside him during this journey has been long-time girlfriend and fiance', Pamela Matthews, and long-time employee, Angela Miles. This story follows his journey to success and chronicles how he makes some powerful enemies along the way. His life falls apart when two months before his and Pam's wedding, she abruptly moves out. Adding insult to injury, she starts a professional and romantic relationship with his bitter rival, Jason Davis. Things get worse when the investors in a blockbuster deal pull out at the last minute. Carl Allen must raise three million, five hundred thousand dollars, in forty-five days or go bankrupt. Bankruptcy is not an option, he'd lose everything he's worked years to build. What started as a routine day, changed his life when he walked by Felicia's Bump N Curl. Sitting under the dryer was Jessica Williams, a sultry, and voluptuous woman. They locked eyes and the fire started to burn. The attraction was mutual, and Jessica stopped by Millennium Realty to introduce herself. Three days before it seemed he's about to go bankrupt, Jessica steps up and provides the money he needs. Carl Allen soon finds out that this money comes with hella strings! Jessica's sketchy past and ruthless reputation lead him down a path he'd rather not have taken. Before the journey is over, Carl Allen finds himself facing the Detroit Police Department, the Department of Justice, (DOJ), and the Internal Revenue Service, (IRS). These are minor complications, the entanglement with Jessica might just cost him his life. Carl Allen finds out the hard way, when you play with fire, you will probably get burned. Page | 2
