Profesionally, I’m a published author and a part-time lyricist, as well as a popular music & culture critic.
I officially became a “published author†in December 2003, with my debut novel, Yeltaw, published by AuthorHouse. The book is available through Amazon and Barnes&Noble . Prior to September of 2007, I had also been planning a movie version of Yeltaw, titled The New (& Improved) Corey. In late 2005, not long after I’d initially joined MySpace, someone here had been posting false, inaccurate, outdated information about the casting of this movie. On January 29, 2006, I discovered a security leak in my profile; but by then, it was a little too late—I found myself implicated for a crime I did not commit. These implications and accusations nearly drove me to file a libel suit against a Grammy-winning female pop diva.
(I should point out that this exact same female pop diva is on my friends list. This issue, however, is far from being settled. And I don’t know if it ever will be.)
Presently, I’m writing my second novel, The Girl from Nebraska (A Tale of Steel Drums, Love Triangles, and Chalk Outlines). Simultaneously, I’m also writing the short book Urban Love, for which I’m planning to collaborate on the movie version with my very very special friend Victoria. Future/planned books include Butternut, Nickie Chones, Mitchell Park East, Story of O’Bryan, 23653945 (a true tell-all about the aforementioned “W@†|€¥9@†€†scandal), and the multi-volume Saga of Sangamon series.
On August 28, 2001, I began my career as a “part-time lyricistâ€; my first composition was “Angel Aaliyahâ€â€”which derives its melody from Barry Manilow’s “Could It Be Magicâ€. As you might have guessed, I wrote it about Aaliyah (1979-2001), who concluded her beautiful stay on earth three days prior. I posted it on a number of message boards (VH1, BET, aaliyah2001.com); it got very rave reviews from nearly every corner of the globe; the second stanza even made a girl in Australia cry.
