Under Pressure by Rashaun Hughes

Wahida Clark Presents plans to launch its first Young Adult line for teens on January 7, 2011. The opening novel entitled “Under Pressure” by Rashawn Hughes is the first of many to come. Under Pressure will be released in stores January 7, 2011.

The Wahida Clark Presents Young Adult Line (YA) targets tweens/teens ranging from ages 14-18.  The stories are realistic and reflect stories that kids can relate to.  Clark’s intent is to capture the hearts and minds of youth globally.

Here's a synopsis of "Under Pressure" by Rashaun Hughes:

Quentin “QB” Banks had always been a fighter, even though it always seemed as if he was holding on to life by mere thread. After serving time in prison, QB returned to his Queens, New York neighborhood and began working as the Director of U-Turn, an at-risk community center for teenagers. Nicknamed, “OG – Original Gangster”, QB is respected by all, especially by two of the center’s teenagers, Torry and Chase.

When someone tries to gun down QB, Chase and Torry, their lives change forever. QB fights to suppress his feelings for revenge, while Torry is faced with a new challenge he doesn’t think he can endure.  Chase on the other hand, carries a secret that could destroy all of them. Will QB retaliate against his enemies? Will Torry overcome his internal demons? Will Chase come clean, tell the truth and prevent others from getting hurt?  Only time will tell when you're Under Pressure!

Wahida Clark Presents Publishing, established in 2007, has made its mark in the publishing industry. With fiction novels such as: Trust No Man 1 & 2, Karma 1 & 2, Thirsty, Cheetah, The Game of Deception and The Ultimate Sacrifice it is evident that quality has surfaced. WCP has published the likes of many authors such as Cash, Mike Sanders, Missy Jackson, Tash Hawthorne, and Victor L. Martin and Anthony Fields.

In amidst of Clark’s many ventures, yet another, Yah Yah publications, has made its way through. This line featuring motivational, spiritual, and science-fiction volumes, adds a non-fictional twist to WCP. The first book entitled, Uncle Yah Yah: 21st Century of Wisdom is currently in stores.

Integrity is prevalent in Wahida Clark and Wahida Clark Presents Publishing and will be ever more with the launch of the Young Adult line. Ultimately, innovation births victory.   I have had the opportunity to read an advanced copy of "Under Pressure."   This selection will serve as a needed addition to a high school Street Literature collection.
