Urban Fiction Author also known as street lit, is a literary genre set, as the name implies, in a city landscape; however, the genre is as much defined by the socio-economic realiti es and culture of its characters as the urban setting. The tone for my urban fi cti on is usually life experience novels, focusing on the underside of city living. Profanity, sex, and violence are usually explicit, with Latifa Ayyubi not shying away from or watering-down the material. Upcoming books: The Take Down, The Take Down II, The After math, Karma Comes In All Flavors, Secrets In Our House and many more in this genre. The author is a mother that loves skating, swimming and outdoor sports and traveling, but writing isher first passion. Latifa also loves to hear back from fans.
