Welcome to Inyama Books! I am a writer of mostly historical fiction, but I do not limit myself to genre. If an idea pops into my head, I will write it. I have written historical, horror, romance, and a bit of poetry. My latest, Joshua, another historical fiction read, will be available in 2026.

I hope you enjoy an Inyama book soon. Please leave a comment in the comments section.

Thank you for visiting,

Mayola Boone

Mayola Boone

Joshua

Star Crossed

Best friends Sadie Walker, a runaway slave, and her accomplice, Rosetta Culpepper, a poor plantation wash woman, posing as mistress and servant, have stepped out on faith into the arms of the universe, eventually winding up in New York and opening the most elite brothel in the state of New York, the Flower Garden.

Flowers in the Promised Land

Mayola Boone is the madam of one of the most elite bordellos in Charleston, South Carolina. The funny, carefree madam loves to sing and dance barefoot on tabletops, but there is much more to the beautiful redhead than meets the eye. Mayola is one of the most prolific station masters of the underground railroad, her bawdy house "Sunshine” instrumental in the safe passage of hundreds of runaways.

Joshua is the story of Willow Daniels, the town drunk, who wanders into a ragged cabin she thought was abandoned to sleep off a hangover. She finds a small boy clinging to his deceased grandmother, and raises him to become the first African American US Senator

Set in the 1940s, Star Crossed is the story of Sunny Day, a popular cabaret singer in the nightclubs of Harlem, and Frank Capobianco, a ruthless mafia hitman with a long string of bodies behind him. When their two worlds collide, life will never be the same for either of them.

Lord, It’s Me!

Everyone loves a feisty senior citizen, and 83-year-old Sadie Pearl Winslow is up to the challenge. She spends her days enjoying life to the fullest—drinking, gambling, and smoking Tiparillos alongside her best friend, 80-year-old Addie Powell. Addie runs a lively gambling and liquor house in Charlotte, North Carolina, and together, the pair make for an unforgettable duo. Sadie is never without her trusty Smith and Wesson .38 in her purse, affectionately called Mr. Smith, and will use it at the drop of a hat. Addie carries a .38 snub nose revolver. Sadie and Addie's friendship began when they met in their early twenties while serving time in North Carolina women’s prison, forging a bond that has endured close to six decades. You will feel the tears, the triumphs, and the enduring loyalty that bonds them closely.  These two spirited octogenarians are as unruly as they are lovable. Their antics—smoking, drinking, gambling, shooting, and cussing—are matched only by the fire in their hearts for the Lord. They will leave you laughing, crying, and forever change the way you see a senior citizen. Their story is one of faith, humor, and unwavering friendship—guaranteed to steal your heart. Hold onto your hat, here comes Sadie and Addie!

 

Sequel to "Flowers in the Promised Land", flamboyant runaway Sadie Walker, accompanied by her father, formerly her Master, returns to Charleston, awkwardly stepping into her new role as a Walker princess, as opposed to her former station in life as a house servant
