When I worked for the Sheriff's Department in Fresno, I created a saying and put it on a rolling banner as a screen saver: “A Writer Reinvents the Truth.”

This was never more accurate than when I wrote my first book, FOOLS RUSH IN. I took the first case I worked as a secretary for an…

NOTE: So, I should point out here at the beginning that I've decided to go with the title Chapters for this series of blog posts. I suppose nearly any of the stand alone posts could fit under this category, but I think I'll try to keep these with where there is a humorous complaint or comment. Searching the web I've discovered several other sites to tap when this current crop, originally listed back on 4/25,…

Have you ever asked yourself why problems never go

Do you even asked yourself why sometimes things go wrong

I cannot have all the things I desire

I cant find the completeness

Chorus:

In this world where I lived

In this world full of pain

In this world that keeps me down

This world can never gives the one I need

Have you ever realized why problems make us strong

Its because of the grace of God…

The full account can be read in the Book of Esther in the Bible.  This story reminds me of us, yes; you and me. …

Yeah baby, yeah, woo hoo! Phew. I’ve just finished my first round of edits, and I’ve sent them back to my editor. Today it only took me 10 hours to finish. But it has been an intense four days of it. A total of 47 1/2 hours worth of editing. Put like that it doesn’t sound a lot though. But the first day I was at them for 14 1/2 hours, the second day 12 hours, the third 11 hours and finally today the final day 10 hours. So it’s been a pretty intense four days. Ah well round 1 of edits…

You're going to get a laugh out of this. It wasn't funny to me at the time, but now . . .

Back in the day when I was writing and promoting my songs to various artists, I had a chance to preview some of my songs to country singer Lynn Anderson (Rose Garden). She was gracious enough to take my cassette player/recorder to her bus to listen to them. Good deal, huh?…

I was asked to choose a quote from my first novel, A Brownstone in Brooklyn, to reflect on the unpredictable nature of life. How things are never the same and human beings have to adjust to life’s changing events.  A Brownstone in Brooklyn is about growing up in the turbulent sixties, one of the most event filled decades in Black-American history.…
