People who date interracially are often called traitors to their own kind. Self-haters. Sellouts.
Loan Officer Tammy McDonald has just come out of another failed relationship with a wannabe thug. To break this destructive pattern, she leaves her home city of Dallas for San Diego. As she settles in rainbow California, fantasies of meeting an ebony prince fade, so she eyes Dale Bristol as a potential ivory replacement.
Terrell Jackson is San Diego’s only black optometrist. Women regularly drop in for more than just eye exams, but he stays true to his girl Tasha until a wet dream unleashes a ridiculous outburst. Fed up with her jealous fits, he denounces the common “dedramanators” in his life-black women.
Even though Penelope Miller was raised in the South by a racist father once affiliated with the KKK, she can’t ignore her attraction to black men. But she never expected to fall in love with one…nor did she expect her “interracial felony” to threaten their lives.
SELLOUT follows these three individuals and the consequences of dating outside their race. In the quest to find what they think is missing in their lives, they encounter guilt, fear and mess they never anticipated…including murder.

I can not wait for the release off the book, Im so happy for you James.
I really hope my favorite cover wins… Democracy, don’t fail me now!
Powerful…. Enticing…. sounds like a damn good read!
Of course any book cover with the name James W. Lewis as the author looks great to me, but since I have to choose, I vote for “A”. Love, Mom
Congrats…cover A, has my vote!
Congrats, J! I like the images on A but the font color on B is definitely better.
Love the intro and cover B! Congrats James!
Hi James. Love what I’ve read so far. Can’t wait for the release.
Congrats, James!! Your new book is the perfect summer read….I can’t wait. By the way, the fact that you kept MY email all this time speaks volumes about YOU. Again, I wish you much success in all your future writing / publishing endeavors.
The left hand image is stronger. But could be much stronger, the girl at far left is weak, and the shot(s) are not superb by any means. The RH image is weak because of no eye contact. The left hand cover would be better if it used the amber type color rather than the low-energy blue. Have fun/good luck w/ the book.
Cover A, but with B’s font color.
Cuz, I like Cover B best. I believe Cover B best encompasses the theme of your book. The brother is not hugging the white woman back which conveys to me that he’s a little unsure about his relationship, the sister is reaching back for the brother’s hand (maybe she wants a threesome, LOL) while going with the white man, and the white man is either staring at the brother or the brother and the white woman being together. I think cover B conveys a lot of the uncertainty and apprehension that happens with inter-racial dating.
I LOVE AND LIKE THE ”A ” COVER SOO MUCH BETTER !!! A A A A A COVER nice job on everything !!
COVERRR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
cover B shows the tension and is a much better picture composition.
I am not totally sold on the text placement, size or font.

Let me know when it drops James.
James I think this book speakes alot of volume of what we still face as a cultural race. I just wanted to comment on the book cover, I really think (B) book cover. I showed my fiancé who really doesn’t read books the way I do and we both agree that B is more tasteful. I wish you all the best. Can’t wait until this book hits the shelves.
James, I’m already hooked just reading the book jacket. Way to go!
