J. Omarr
Is the newest, in a growing number of young urban African-American Same Gender Loving authors to emerge in the wake of the success of E. Lynn Harris and James Earl Hardy. J. Omarr, a native of Newark, New Jersey, now residing in Jersey City, is the eldest of three. A skilled and talented story teller that has now released his second urban gay novel, Justus, a sequel to his first published work, Masai.
Justus, is the story of young man's search for love through adversity in a world of violence, sex and drugs. Though not a typical black gay love story.
J. Omarr in his own words: I have come to realize there is a need to show that there are other sides to my character. I want to explore the different types of lores that are out there and show them in a light other than heterosexual. I like being considered a pioneer in the field of erotica by removing the stigmatism or the definition of what erotic is...I want to show that any and everything is erotic given the right context and it doesn't question, challenge or change your masculinity or femininity...

Justus - a young black man from New Jersey - had always been king-hearted and unassuming.
His own trusting nature, however, leads Justus into a twisted and life-threatening spiral of peril and intimidation. Coerced into a menacing world by a lover he once trusted, Justus must somehow find his way out of an abusive relationship and the threatening life he has been tricked into - before it's too late.
Justus shatters decades of prejudice and misrepresentation, and portrays gay black men in a way that has never before been put to print.
An ordinary young man finds himself in extraordinary circumstances as his lover forces him into a dangerous web of sex, drugs, and murder
This is the tale of Masai, a drug dealer, a father and a brother that has waited so long to find love that he has given up all together. That is, until he meets Komari, a brother that has his life together. Masai decides after meeting Komari, that he no longer wants to sell drugs. He want to take his lover and his child and get away.
When Magdalene gets wind of his decision, she will stop at nothing to keep him withing the folds of Mega Corp. using blackmail, bribery, and even murder.
