it's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under!

About Me

Hey there! My name is Charles L. Chatmon, an author, poet freelance writer, former babysitter, errr teacher and book expo organizer/consultant from Los Angeles. While I express myself in the written word, I'm a reserved, quiet, hard-working fella who enjoys the simple things in life. I love writing - a lot! I'm currently working on projects that I'll share in my blogs.I've had the honor of being named The LiteraryWorld.Org's Author of the month for July 2006. I'm part of a network of authors called the California Writers Collective, I also co-host Mixed Matters on northbaymediareview.com and I'm also the new Executive Director of the L.A. Black Book Expo scheduled for Summer 2007. Check out the LABBE page for more info.Check out my pages: http://charleslchatmon.com and http://labbx.com!

My Interests

Hanging out in bookstores, traveling, dining out, being in the company of good friends, writing blogs.

I'd like to meet:

Cool peeps who don't have a lot of drama. Someone who's trying to make their mark in this cruel, cruel world! Sane.

Music:

old school music, R&B, old school, jazz, old school, classical (at times), and did I mention old school?

Movies:

anything that's good with a plot! love them summer movies though, open to a tear-jerker or two.

Television:

I don't watch a lot but when I do it's mostly sports.

Books:

Come on now! What do you think? :) LOL. Seriously, I read all types, written by friends or not.

Heroes:

the elders I grew up with plus my late grandmother. They were all special to me.
