Interviewed by: Lauretta Pierce
A. A true romantic. A dreamer. Just a simple African-American male who is striving to make a statement.
A. I've always been fascinated with the bible and biblical motion pictures. As well, I esteem strong-willed women--past and present day. My initial quest was to explore positions and life styles of Blacks (dark-skinned people) in ancient times. Comprehending that we, Blacks or African-Americans, were once actually kings and queens and lived opulent lives, it was amazing to discover that this was indeed true.
A. All men came forth out of the line of Adam. Likewise, all women came forth out of the line of Eve (the mother of all women.) From the downline of Eve came forth 3 Black women.
A. Yes, I read the bible 3 times and researched African-Americans, in particular numerous women, in the bible at a local library for over a year. I also did some research online.
A. I've been writing since 1988.
A. Thus far, I've written three books. Two books are recently published: "Three Seeds Of Eve," and soon to be released, "Leila."
A. Yes, I'm half way through my fourth novel, "Danielle", the sequel to "Leila." Moreover, I'm wholly reediting my first novel, "My Friends," not published yet.
A. An ambiance of soft music, particulary Luther Vandross, or some other love balad. In addition, I write in scenic areas, mostly in different cities and countries, varying from Paris, London, Frankfurt, Hawaii, Japan, Hong Kong, San Francisco--all over the place.
A. That God Almighty, I AM THAT I AM, is absolutely wonderful! He is good, kind and merciful. And last, the past always repeats itself.
Always put God first. Always be grateful for the good times and the bad times. Always be thankful for what you have. In all things acknowledge Him.
