I'm going to slide this name across the table and give you a moment to think things over: Balogun Ojetade. One of the driving forces behind the Butler/Banks Book Blog Tour. Steam/Dieselfunk pioneer. Likely a level 4 telepath.
Think on that a while.
Think on that a while.
Balogun
is the author of the bestselling Afrikan
Martial Arts: Discovering the Warrior Within and screenwriter / producer /
director of the films, A Single Link
and Rite of Passage: Initiation.
He
is one of the leading authorities on Steamfunk – a
philosophy or style of writing that combines the African and / or African
American culture and approach to life with that of the steampunk philosophy and
/ or steampunk fiction – and writes about it, the craft of writing, Sword
& Soul and Steampunk in general, at http://chroniclesofharriet.com/.
He
is author of six novels – the Steamfunk bestseller, MOSES: The Chronicles of Harriet Tubman (Books 1 & 2); the
Urban Science Fiction saga, Redeemer;
the Sword & Soul epic, Once Upon A
Time In Afrika, two Fight Fiction, Action-Adventure novellas – A Single Link and Fist of Afrika and the two-fisted Dieselfunk tale, The Scythe. Balogun is also contributing
co-editor of two anthologies: Ki: Khanga: The Anthology and Steamfunk.
Finally,
Balogun is the Director and Fight Choreographer of the Steamfunk feature film, Rite of Passage, which he wrote based on
the short story, Rite of Passage, by
author Milton Davis.

The Scythe Blurb (Click HERE to view the trailer)
He has been given a second chance at
life. A second chance at revenge. He is the bridge between the Quick and the
Dead. He is…THE SCYTHE!
Out of the tragedy of the Tulsa Race
Riot of 1921, a two-fisted hero rises from the grave!
Inspired by the pulp magazines of the
1930s and 1940s, a tale of action, adventure, thrills and chills await fans of
Dieselpunk, die-hard pulp fans and readers who just love a gritty story that
packs a mean punch.
Enter a world in which Gangsters,
Flappers, vampires, robots and the Ku Klux Klan all roam the same dark back
streets; a world of grit, grime and grease; a world of hardboiled gumshoe
detectives and mad scientists; a world where magic and technology compete for
rule over the world.
Dieselfunk has emerged in The Scythe…and the Roaring Twenties will
never seem the same!

works are also available on Amazon.
