ATLANTA, Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Four-time New York Times bestselling author Wahida Clark, a.k.a. "The Queen of Street Lit," and founder of Wahida Clark Presents Publishing (WCP)—the fastest growing independent urban publisher—is proud to launch the new imprint, Sci-Fi Fantasy for the Culture (SF/F), to house WCP's science fiction and fantasy titles. The prolific author has sold millions of copies of her books worldwide and is proud to announce the release of SF/F's "The Vanguard" series by Chase Bolling, who will also head the imprint as Managing Editor.
On launching the new imprint, Clark says, "We went on a search for talent and found Chase Bolling, author of 'The Road of Resistance: The Vanguard I'—an epic tale of survival after a rogue defense AI traps weapons technology in the dark ages, plunging the world into chaos. His story captured my imagination, and his drive and talent made him a natural fit for this new chapter at WCP."
Bolling's popular independently released "The Road of Resistance" is being released in a second edition by WCP on November 17, 2020, in two books: Part 1 and Part 2.
Graphic, action-packed, and emotionally charged, "The War We Make: The Vanguard II" is the next episode in the struggle for the soul of America, which will be available on November 27, 2020.
"Chronicle of the Unbroken: The Vanguard III" is slated for release on February 1, 2021, in conjunction with Black History Month.
The next book in the series, "The Juneteenth Campaign: The Vanguard IV," is slated for release on June 19, 2021.
Bollings says, "It's honor to be working with Wahida Clark and launching the WCP SF/F division with The Vanguard titles, which are a Street-Lit-meets-epic-medieval-fantasy series. Influenced by hip-hop culture and Black Lives Matter, the novels are inspired by great storytellers like Milton Davis, Christian Cameron and Charles R. Saunders. I welcome readers to this fantasy world that is abundant with romance, magical realism, sword and soul, and Arthurian themes."
Other upcoming SF/F releases include Clark's "Emperors and Assassins," "Loners" and "The Light Brigade," co-authored with DB Bray.
"The Vanguard" Series is available for pre-order now at http://www.wclarkpublishing.com/genres.
