WELCOME,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MY BOOKS.
Years and years ago (my how time flies) around 1985 I wanted
to get my old neighborhood together and do a play; particularly
us who lived on Pippin St in Booker T down south in my birth
place, Monroe, Louisiana. Decades later, in 2005 the idea
reemerged one thousand miles away, northward in Minnesota. It
would have been daunting to say the least, because I was
surrounded by mostly gangsters, strippers and drug dealers.
Needless to say, there weren’t any positive people to fill the role
as an actor or even have the slightest interest. Instead of letting
the idea fade, I decided to write books and gradually familiarize

If you are not a reader please consider a purchase as it will help a good cause. If all
goes well, for the 2013 school year I will randomly select a family and make
purchases for the child's learning material and possibly school attire. The amount,
number of families and children will depend on the success of these books. In the past
I have arranged and hosted events such as football games, swimming pool parties,
video game parties, holiday events and barbeques for children, so it is something I am
very willing to do.

myself with writing screen plays. I am now working on a screenplay for a movie called "Breaking the
Spell". It is about Jesus Christ and the end times; a total contrast to this first string of books. Perhaps this
particular detail will help some of you understand what I note a couple paragraphs down.
I admit that when I write it isn't very poetic like other writers who have more experience accompanied by
diplomas and degrees. My ability to write a story and apply proper punctuation is the result of knowledge
gained from Kindergarten through High School, where I dropped out, but later pursued and
accomplished a GED. My words are relatively simple but I tell a heck of a story. My imagination coupled
with harsh realities of the streets which swallowed me up along with other unfortunate and unforgiven
young Black males has allowed me to vividly portray an action and drama filled fiction in my own way. My
experience, which is not narrow, makes my stories hardcore, and possibly too hard for some of my
readers.

Let me note: to my relatives and those who I grew up with in
early years, I fell by the wayside. But things happen for a
reason, right? During my time by the wayside I inspired and
led out many on my way out. And many of you know that I
recovered from the streets years and years ago. I am sorry
to disappoint those of you who believed in me and thought I
was smart enough not to fall for the hidden hand's intelligent
design to exercise a piece of Charles Darwin's theory:
Survival of the Fittest. Some of you may not understand what
you just read. Don't worry, I will explore that in later books;
my more serious and thought provoking books. I have
published children books and some are in public schools, for
early years, I fell by the wayside. But things happen for a

my more serious and thought provoking books. I have
published children books and some are in public schools, for
they are learning and developmental tools. With these particular books, it wasn't easy developing a
strategy and target. I had to decide the target audience and WHY. In the end, I chose to come out hard
and gangster. I thought I might inspire the streets, i.e. the drug dealers, gang bangers, and moreover,
the prisoners; thereby potentially motivating prisoners to do something with their time; such as writing,
subsequently influencing them to be more productive in society upon their release; to escape the
recidivism rate and alleviate society of the felons' potential to re-offend. Essentially, if they see me
writing (one of them) then they will know that they can do it, too. Prisoners in particular, have a heck of a
story to tell—and time to write it—one that could prevent at least one of our youths from taking that same
dark path. Understandably, many might say I could have written about positive things to meet that
endeavor. To that I would say you're right... absolutely. Although I have my reasons for choosing to fill
my first string of books with negative, hardcore imagery anyway, I will not get into it here. I will only tip my
hat and agree that you are right. Stick around, though, and experience my next string of books and you
will see how the ends truly justify the means. Again welcome, and thank you for your interest in my
books. Godspeed to you all.
