I'm a Spelman graduate and a member of the Carolina African American Writers' Collective. My poems have appeared In Revelry 2006, Pembroke Magazine 2007, Drumvoices 2007 & 2008, and the anthologies: The Ringing Ear: Black Poets Lean South, Making Sense of the Madness, Little Black Book Vol II: Bedtime Stories for Lovers, and Liberated Muse Vol I: How I Freed my Soul 2009, the featured anthology for the Capital City Soul Fest and PurpleMag #7 (I also write under the pen name Valjeanne Jeffers-Thompson).

HER DREAMS ARE TERRIFYING. In the year of our One 3075, Tundra has been at peace for 400 years. There is no racism, poverty or war. Karla is a young Indigo woman working as a successful healer. Yet she is tormented by lucid and erotic dreams. Dreams in which she is IMMORTAL. Two men emerge from these phantasms: the first a Copper shape shifter and the other a demon more dead than alive. But when this creature appears in her apartment Karla realizes they share a lust that may one day consume her. HIS WILL UNLOCK A MYSTERY. Joseph has always dreamt of becoming an artist, warrior...and a werewolf. Now he's dreaming of a sorceress who commands that he leave his homeland. TOGETHER THEY WILL JOURNEY TO THE EDGE OF TIME...To a nightmarish world of revolution and magic. But will they save Tundra or perish in its destruction?

"Just finished reading Immortal, by Valjeanne Jeffers.

Thousands of years in the future, in the great land of Tundra - after the Time of Legend, we find Karla. A beautiful indigo woman, Karla must navigate through an inner and outer world filled with magic, past lives, and a mysterious and powerful being who seems to know Karla better than she knows herself.

Immortal is an amazing story that flows like water. It’s a speculative-cool piece that takes the reader on a trip that is horror, cyber-punk, and fantasy, all rolled in one. Valjeanne Jeffers is one of those authors who can make words drip color. I had a ball exploring her world. I was captivated by the surreal dreamscapes Karla and Joseph ebbed in and out of, and the utilitarian society in which they spent their waking lives.

Immortal is one of the most unique blends I have had the pleasure of reading in some time. Future collides with past. Magic, with science. This is one cool ride, and I am compelled to recommend this piece."

"Ms. Jeffers has created an oddly vivid and not so far-fetched neo-Earth in Immortal. Quick paced and well-crafted, I felt a connection with her protagonists and a distilled hatred for her antagonists. The characters' backstories fit together like the pieces of an intricate puzzle. From the absence of war to the presence of the obscenely paranormal, the frightening and beautiful; dangerous and air-tight; Immortal is filled with yins and yangs that somehow culminate into a satisfying literary balance. A wonderful read from beginning to end."

Immortal 2nd Edition Receives a 5 Star Amazon Book Award!

"IMMORTAL by Valjeanne Jeffers is an enchanting tale of magic, werewolves and humans that turn into creatures of the night. The story was mesmerizing to say the least. I look forward to reading the next installment in this series. The writings of Mr. Jeffers remind me a lot of the writer Clive Barker. So if you are into stories that are magical that tell tales of the mythical, then this is your book."

Thanks for sharing Ms. Jeffers,

I appreciate your commitment to stand strong and tell it like it is. We need to break this cycle of madness and quit making excuses. If people do not understand how to counsel they need to leave it to people who do. I might as well say this since I lived the horror...WORD TO ALL YOU PREACHERS OUT THERE..."JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE ANOINTED TO PREACH DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE A GIFT TO COUNSEL THOSE IN NEED!" Now I know I got another discussion started with that one for the next month or so:) Sorry, I just have to keep it real.

much love and peace,

Dr. Howard
