About Me

During my time of incarceration I spent a lot of time reading and pondering my next step, occasionally I came across urban novels that intrigued me. While reading these books I would voice my criticism to my cellmate to the point where he said, “Either write your own or shut up!” Taking it as a personal challenge I decided to put pen to paper and unfold a story that related to what I know best. By the way, in honor of his inspiration I named one of my characters after him, Ray-Ray.

I also wrote my book to show our youth that as young men growing up in the urban communities we have something that are not taught in the classes or written in text books…….we have choices!! Too many wrong choices can lead to having no choice at all. Consequences of today’s actions will last for a lifetime so my advice is that young men stop and evaluate their actions and strive to be positive no matter what their surroundings are. Being a product of the environment is a tired excuse that is only music to the ears of those that believe that today’s black men are good for nothing but making b****** children and populating our prisons. Use the struggles of the streets to fuel you as motivation to make a change. The most precious flowers in the world are fertilized from manure!

The main key to getting urban novels as mine out there is networking! I was fortunate enough to meet some of the best authors that New York has to offer, whom weren’t hesitant to give guidance through their words. The most impactful piece of advice I was given was, “your book will only be as successful as you make it!” I am currently working on his second novel “High Risks” which should be ready before 2010.

E.O.S.......
“Do your time; don’t let your time do you!” The advice given to Pain by an “O.G.” the morning that the Blue Bird transported him from the county jail to the prison yard echoed in his head for the duration of his forty-eight month bib. Forty-eight months was enough time to reform small time conman into mastermind conspirator. While fellow convicts spent their time chain-gang hustling and pumping iron, Pain focused on getting his reparations for the time that he wasted in prison. Collaborating with a select few trusted acquaintances he shoots for his goal with no remorse for whosoever stands between his team and their target. With all plans blueprinted in his head the only thing left to do is to await his E.O.S. date.
