It might not surprise my readers that my book titles always have a double meaning. Not only do they connect with the story in some way, be a powerful comment by a character, or be used to capture a potential reader. My book titles, especially in the last few years. have been picked with the worldview in mind.
Here are some quick examples:
Everybody Wants to Rule the World is my 18th book, the 13th in my Hernandez series. As expected, a title like this isn't by accident. It comes back to not only the plot but also how our world looks right now. If you look around, whether it be in politics or otherwise, there are a lot of mega powers attempting to push their way to the top to control. And believe me, this is not for the greater good.
Psychopaths Rule the World was released a few years ago, and at the time, it was a comment I made to a friend regarding world events. He had been questioning what would possess certain people to make the decisions. "Because psychopaths rule the world" was my answer, and even now, I stick by that reply.
Loyalty Above All (there are no exceptions) isn't the only theme in my Hernandez series but also something I strongly believe in. If we don't have loyalty or a sense of dedication, then what do we have? And can you ever really trust someone who isn't loyal to you?
Throughout most of the Hernandez series, I've had the tagline Loyalty Above All (there are no exceptions) to symbolize that loyalty is essential to these characters. It's the backbone of the entire series, the structure that holds Jorge Hernandez's organization together.
Of course, this is an appealing concept for most people. We want to believe that others are loyal to us. We want to believe that when pushed, most people in our inner circle will be in our corner, defend us, and help with whatever we need. In reality, this isn't always the case. It's usually during the worst periods of our lives that we see the true colors of those around us. And let's face it, they don't always shimmer.
For this reason, I sense that my readers appreciate the fact that Jorge Hernandez is not only loyal and dedicated to the people in his life but that he also demands the same of them. This, along with his power and confidence, are also central in the series. No one will run over this character, and no one dares to try. But is that really because he is any less vulnerable than the rest of us, or is it because he believes that he is so powerful that makes him so?
Either way, again and again, my readers assure me that this is why they love the series. I do have a lot of stuff going on that makes it a fun read, but it's the protagonist that draws them in the most.
In my new book Loyalty Above All (there are no exceptions), I further explore the wild, criminal world that is Jorge Hernandez. If you don't know who that is, this sums him up 👇🏼
A former Mexican narco transitions into Canadian life with family, politics, and business while holding tight to his ruthless, criminal ways. Meet Jorge Hernandez.
The fact that Jorge Hernandez is contemplating ‘doing good’ in the world should be enough to send a shiver down anyone’s spine. He may be living a seemingly legit lifestyle with his family in Canada, but don’t be fooled; this former Mexican cartel boss holds a powerful grip on everything from politics to media, and he’s never beyond getting a little blood on his hands.
When his daughter Maria steps up to someday head the familia, it is with great pride that Jorge breaks down the lessons that will secure her position in life. Giving her a glimpse into his daily activities, she quickly witnesses the stark view of the criminal mastermind at work. It doesn’t matter if he’s yelling at the prime minister or making plans to take someone down; Jorge does so with a powerful and unapologetic swoop. But how much is he willing to reveal? Is he ready for his daughter to learn about his brutal, murderous side?
In a world where trust is essential, Jorge teaches her the powerful lesson; Loyalty above all. There are no exceptions.
