Within the past month or so, I have been diligently working on a few new creative ventures. One of which that I am proud to say is my next book. I am just about done with this new collection of poetry. It will be in tribute to classic soul music (ranging from the 1960's up to the 1980's with a few honorable mention artist of today).  I had written a number of poems in memory and dedicated  to various recording artists that I grew up listening to. For those who read my previous book "Thoughts: a thousand times over . . ." I mentioned in the introduction a number of influences that literally caused me to write poetry. My love of music was mentioned and cited for being highly influential. If all goes well, the new book should be in print sometime next month. I have also been recording and hope to have a full length project finished soon. I am still reading manuscripts that have been submitted to me, so if I have yours please be patient and give me just a little more time. Once again, I have to thank all who have been greatly supportive in purchasing the book, visiting the website, sending friend requests on myspace or facebook, as well as the continued encouragement. A special thank you to two locations in particular in my area that have continued to show an abundance of support for my endeavors, Dobie's Convenience Store as well as Hick's Place both located in Waverly, VA. If you are ever in the area, please stop by their stores. You can even tell them that I sent you, lol. Well, I promise to keep it going (this writing thing) so stay tuned prayerfully there is so much more to come. May God Bless and Protect all of You.
