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.

Detective Chemah Rivers is a man with principles that
help guide him through the misfortune of unforeseen
problems that don't make his life easy. His martial arts
training has helped to keep him focused and in great
shape physically and mentally. Add to the mix the love
and attention of two very different, very intense women
and you have the makings of a "don't put this book down
till you've finished" novel!
Nairobi is sweet and not typically the type of woman
that would attract Chemah. But passion ignited cannot be
denied... Scene stealing Margarita is smart, upwardly
mobile, resourceful, and sexy. She knows what she wants
and she goes after it: whether it’s a job - or a man!
Sometimes having it all can prove to be a bit too much….
“It is an honor to present Harlem’s Dragon by
David Rivera, Jr. Rivera has a unique literary voice
that will not only have you discussing this novel…but
will have you anxiously awaiting the sequel, “The Street
Sweeper. I was thoroughly impressed with the author’s
writing style, character development and story concept…I
was blown away by the breathtaking cover…“Harlem’s
Dragon”…what erotica is …David Rivera, has it going on
in that department. This book is a combination
thriller/erotic/relationship novel that keeps it real
from page one…"
