I'm originally from Los Angeles, Ca. My mother is a New Yorker and my father is from Louisiana. So I got a little country and a little city perspective growing up. I grew up in a single parent home with my mother doing all the hard work. I came up the hard way making a lot of mistakes along the way. But I don't blame nobody else for any of it. I made all the choices of my own free will. And I paid the price too. I still wear the scare of what I like to call my second birth mark. I had third degree burns on my shoulder and chest from opening my car's radiator while I was high on weed. Dumb, I know. About that same time I was arrested for a job I pulled. It was while I was sitting in jail during the fourth of july, with my shoulder still healing from the burns that I had my wake up call. I always hear non believers ask why does God allow suffering? In my case, I'm glad God allowed my to go thru somethings. It allowed me to get some damn sense and see the error of my ways. Now I'm a living, walking, testimony that with the right focus any one can turn their life around, that's why. I was looking for something on the streets, something that I was never going to find. I realize now that no amount of street cred, money or women was going to be able to fill the void.That takes me to my novel. A fictional story that I thought really need to be told. A story that gives you a glimpse into young black men dealing with issues of trying to fill empty voids in their life left by broken homes or lack of love. And they try to feel those voids with women or money. And how this can leave painfull scares that can change a person who orginally had a good heart, but like so many men, and women too, close off their emotions to keep from being hurt again.It's taken me thirty plus years to finally find out what my true gift is, storytelling. I got many of ass whippings for telling stories growing up. Imagination is not something that's encourage on a routine basis in the ghetto. I just hope that other people out there who read this can find their true gift too and embrace it whatever it might be.
