[Corrupted 05] • Corrupted Chapter 5

This is what happens when our options become limited . . .

Omar Tyree, a New York Times and Essence magazine bestseller, an NAACP

Image Award and Phyllis Wheatley Literary Prize winner, and the originator of

contemporary “urban classic” novels that have spawned a national wave of

“urban/street literature,” hits home again with Corrupted, a timely and

innovative serial ebook.

In an era where hundreds of aspiring writers play an anxious game of

musical chairs to entice a shrinking group of New-York-based book editors to buy

their freshly printed manuscripts and grant their dreams of becoming

nationally published authors, Vincent Biddle reigns supreme.

Coined the man with the “golden eye”, in the past decade, Vincent, a

native Bronze, New Yorker, has hand-picked, edited and positioned more than a

dozen bestselling books from his stable of authors, while generating more than

a hundred million dollars in revenue for the Williams & Klein Publishing

Group.

Vincent can’t miss and can do wrong, as he rises to a powerful senior

editor position with the publisher. But as he rises, so does his ego, creating a

reckless and eccentric craving for personal and professional

experimentations.

Vincent asks himself, “What will these writers all do to become bestsellers

and remain in the public limelight?”

With a tight circle of volatile authors in his midst, their every weakness

soon becomes bait to be used against them, while their power-dunk editor

assumes a position of absolute authority. And things fall apart around them.

Corrupted, a serial ebook of aspirations, fame, fortune, sex, shame and

scandal, as Omar Tyree uncovers the dark, passionate and sinister side of the

American publishing industry. Rated R.
