\"Brown has created strong, intriguing leads in Jade and Whitney, both seemingly poised to continue in future adventures...a promising debut...an engaging novel.\"
— Kirkus Reviews

\n\n

\"DON'T SPEAK is fast-paced, entertaining, and full of twists—I thoroughly enjoyed it. Jade Harrington is a kick-ass heroine.\"
— Meg Gardiner, author of UNSUB

\n\n

The nursery rhyme was wrong. Words can hurt you.

\n\n

Ambitious, twenty-something FBI Special Agent Jade Harrington cuts her vacation short to investigate the murder of a conservative radio personality only to discover that he may be the victim of a serial killer. Whitney Fairchild, the elegant and charismatic Democratic senator from Missouri, campaigns in a cutthroat race for president of the United States. Cole Brennan, the most popular conservative talk-show host in the nation, battles nightly to save his country and help the incumbent Republican president maintain his 'inner conservative' to win re-election.

\n\n

The lives of Jade, Whitney, Cole, and the killer—who has an agenda of his own—are on a collision course. That course will not just impact them each in ways they could never have foreseen, but also the future of the United States of America. Amidst a backdrop of contemporary power politics driven by the influence of talk radio and social media, Don't Speak thrills even as it explores many of the complex issues facing Americans today.

\n\n

Prescient, Don't Speak was completed a year before the 2016 US presidential election.

\"If you've been wishing someone would start writing smart thrillers...J. L. Brown is for you.\"
— Howard Michael Gould, author of Last Looks

\n\n

FBI Special Agent Jade Harrington finds herself holding the line in a case that hits a little too close to home, personally and professionally. A bullied boy in a Washington, DC suburb commits suicide after being beaten. Within days, the bodies of his classmates start turning up—with injuries similar to the victims of TSK. But Jade knows TSK is dead.

\n\n

Meanwhile, massive protests erupt across the country. President Whitney Fairchild must quell them while dealing with an obstructionist Congress and a long-kept secret, all of which threaten to destroy her and sink her presidency before it has really begun.

\n\n

Vengeance. Betrayal. Justice. Duty. The thrills of Don't Speak continue with Rule of Law.

Divided we fall…

Acting FBI Special Agent in Charge Jade Harrington and her team have their hands full with a new case. Someone is murdering people who appear to have little in common—aside from the fact that they're prominent one-percenters.

President Whitney Fairchild's first year in office isn't going as planned. No president since Abraham Lincoln has been under so much pressure to keep a divided nation together, and on top of that, her long-kept secret might finally be exposed.

For both Jade and Whitney, it's hard to know whom to trust. Family members, friends, coworkers, and allies—not all of them are what they seem.

Who is for them, and who is against them?

An FBI political thriller with a powerful female lead from award-winning author J. L. Brown. The Paine Society picks up where The Divide left off.

After surviving an assassination attempt, President Whitney Fairchild prepares to retaliate against Russia for a deadly terrorist attack on American soil—even as her personal life collapses in scandal and betrayal.

FBI Special Agent Jade Harrington is back on duty after recovering from a gunshot wound, determined to capture Devon Mattix, the Bureau's most-wanted fugitive. But when someone close to Jade is murdered, a case she thought was closed explodes back to life—and leads her straight into the shadowy world of The Paine Society, a mysterious network manipulating power at the highest levels of government.

An audacious crime forces Jade and the president together again. As the body count rises and the stakes grow deadly, Jade must risk everything to stop a hidden enemy before the next attack succeeds.

Because someone is watching.
Someone is planning.
And someone intends to reshape the world.

\n\n

Her destiny was certain. Until it wasn't.

\n\n

Exploring her beloved forest, young Princess Chibuike \"Chi\" encounters a man unlike any she has seen. His skin is as pale as the moon that watches over the Queendom of Kana, a land where women rule fiercely and freely.

\n\n

Ten dry seasons later, in 1619, Chi, now a seasoned warrior in the Kanaian army, and preparing for her own future as queen, faces a mystery that threatens the existence of Kana. The once-peaceful queendom is upended when nearby villagers disappear en masse, including their ruling families—and one of Chi's closest friends. Chi vows to find her missing landspeople and bring them home, no matter where they are. She and the women warriors travel across the ocean to Jamestown, Virginia to face down the pale men who have built a trade in human beings.

\n\n

To change the course of history for her people and herself requires Chi to discover a new kind of bravery and her true destiny.

\n\n

Julie L. Brown's No One Will Save Us is a sweeping novel of alternative history that explores what it means to be free and the resilience it takes to keep it.

\n\n

Timely and unforgettable, Bend, Don't Break spans two centuries of American history and is a captivating testament to women's ambition and the unbreakable bond between Black mothers and their daughters.

\n\n

Drawing strength from their ancestor, Aisha, a slave born free on the west coast of Africa, four Black women will do whatever is necessary to succeed—and will do even more to protect their daughters. Aisha's granddaughter, Dinah, a plantation slave, fends off the advances of the master's son and vows to prevent the same mistreatment of her daughter, Sarah. During the Harlem Renaissance, Augusta, an aspiring teacher, falls in love for the first time. Her mother, Julia, is determined to prevent her from getting hurt. Attorney Olivia and her news producer daughter, Nicole, both seek success and equality in the white man's world of 1980s corporate life. And in the present day, Sha, a tech company chief information officer, turns amateur detective after her daughter's assault.

\n\n

Throughout the generations, these women encounter similar challenges but face them in different ways and survive and thrive through all of it, because they bend but do not break. They demonstrate that although generational trauma can be passed down like an inheritance, so, too, can healing and resilience.
