About Me

Giving my life to God at FIRST CORINTHIAN BAPTIST CHURCH in Harlem recently has me flying high in the friendly skies of Christ, but with a foot planted in reality. Thank You Heavenly Father, for putting up with my imperfections for so long.My first novel SIX DAYS IN JANUARY established literary credibility. My second novel THERE'S ALWAYS A REASON was nominated for an AFRICAN-AMERICAN LITERARY AWARD in September, and was a MASTERS LIST FINALIST for 2008 NACCP IMAGE AWARD NOMINATION in the OUTSTANDING LITERARY WORK - FICTION Category . Featured by EBONY MAGAZINE (MARCH 2007) and BLACK EXPRESSIONS (MAIN SELECTION - APRIL 2007) and described as an "EMOTIONAL MASTERPIECE", it has been called "One of the best written novels in the African-American Community this year" by my peers in the literary industry. That's pretty cool when fellow writers say that. Appearing in many anthologies (SEE PICTURES), I'll return to the literary scene in 2010 with another compelling story under a new genre. While on writing hiatus, I'll be strengthening my relationship with God, for it is through Him that all things are possible.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

BARACK OBAMA! Without a doubt! I would have love to have been at a round table discussion with Malcolm X, Bobby Seale, Jackie Robinson, H. Rap Brown, Medgar Evers, MLK and Huey Newton rapping about important race issues that keep our minds enslaved in an ignorant plantation. It's a Crabs-in-the-Barrell mentality that consumes us with self-hatred, jealousy and hostility. (WHY DO WE HURT OTHERS TO MAKE OURSELVES LOOK BETTER? IT BOGGLES THE MIND) I would love to sit and talk sports with Barry Bonds and Michael Vick and ask WHY? Michael Jordan, Jerry Rice, Hank Aaron Tiger Woods, Muhammad Ali, and Jim Brown could teach me about applying legendary greatness to our everyday lives. James Baldwin and David Halberstam would have rapped to me about writing, but they're in heaven. So, I'd rather rap with Colin Channer, Timmothy McCann (YODA, LUKE SKYWALKER feels alone, Man.)Franklin White, David Maraniss and James Patterson. MICHAEL JACKSON!!!
