David Rivera Jr., has been writing
short stories for his own entertainment since high school. He
has been inspired by the writings of the contemporary black male
writers that have emerged in the past few years.
His first book, Harlem's Dragon, has been met
with great enthusiasm by other writers – most notably by Zane,
as well as literary critics. In a recent interview, David
admitted that the sex scenes depicted in his writings are taken
from some of his personal experiences and enhanced for the
entertainment of his readers. He enjoys the erotic writing of
Anne Rice and hopes to master a full spectrum of writing genres
just as she has. As a man of color, David has taken on the task
of showing African American men in a more positive light in his
writing. He believes that every Black Man has the responsibility
of contributing something of worth to his community. The proof
that he is doing his share becomes apparent in his writing.
David, the youngest of three siblings, was
born in the old Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx on January
14, 1965. He grew up in the South Bronx and graduated from
Norman Thomas High School located in midtown Manhattan in 1982.
David has lived in Harlem for the past 20 years. He holds a
Bachelors degree in Sociology and a Masters of Science degree in
Public Administration.

In The Last Prejudice,
readers are invited to meet a complex and beautiful set
of characters that are guaranteed to intrigue and
challenge their views on what is considered beautiful
and sexy.
At first glance, the three
plus-sized women in David Rivera, Jr.’s The Last Prejudice
go through the same relationship trials and tribulations
that many women go through. But when forced to deal
with the added social stereotypes, and sometimes
personal insecurities of being a full-figured woman,
their true personalities come to surface. On one hand,
there’s Noreen Klein, the empowered diva who gets – and
often takes – what she wants out of life, including sexy
men. She knows what she wants and is confidant in her
curvy size-24 figure. However, Dahlia Ortega, who
recently has removed herself from an abusive
relationship, is a pretty but self conscious
full-figured woman with a new found thirst for
dominating men. Finally, there’s Kat Davis. Kat once
had a stellar body, but as a result of a pregnancy that
added 60 pounds to her frame, she now must contend with
a new body and voracious sexual appetite. As the three
women bond and support one another in the ups and downs
of their juicy romances and chaotic lives, the
characters bring to surface how cultural biases against
voluptuous women can create dissension and mayhem when
lust is in the air.
