Simfani Blue’s music served as an inspiration to the lead character, Billie aka DUKATI, in New York Time’s best selling author, Eric Jerome Dickey’s 12th novel, “Chasing Destiny”, and several of her works and attributes will be featured in the story. In case you’re a die-hard Dickey fan, you’ll also find her mentioned in the 15th novel, PLEASURE.
