I'm going through the final rounds of editing to get "Fiesta Girl" ready for publication. I'm actually quite excited about this. I've already posted a Facebook event about it, but only a handful of people replied to it. I guess that I shouldn't be all that surprised; that's pretty much the standard response that I get to my efforts, whether activism or otherwise....
I remember when I first wrote it as a screenplay. I was really proud of that particular script. I put a lot of myself into that particular project. It encumbers a lot of creative elements; my poetry, some of my songs that I'd written for my never-existed group New Latin Swing, a clothing line idea that I had to promote the group, and a music video TV show idea that I had. Hopefully, I'll have some success with it as a eNovel, that I didn't have as a movie script. Then again, if sales are successful, you never know...
Other than trying to get my new business cards printed up, I don't have any real plans, other than trying to promote my stuff this year. Don't know how much I'll chill out this year, and just concentrate on the promotions for my book titles. I still want to work on the sequels to "The Chronicles of The Black Fist" (CreateSpace, 2015), and get them published. Maybe when I find the time and motivation....
Still hoping to get my own place. Next month marks one year that I've been here in Delaware. Can't say anything negative about it. I'm on my own, so to speak...I'm working....I have some money in my pocket; I can't complain. Slowing making friends, and getting my name out there; professionally and culturally. I'm looking forward to tackling a few new projects in the new year. The Universal Africana Literary Arts Movement is celebrating its 'unofficial' 10th year anniversary this year. I can't believe that it's been 10 years, already! My, how time flies, and how much of an impact I've/we've had. The movement has been around for ten years, and still going strong. I've made some great friends and connections through the Movement, and hope to continue going on strong.
Well, if I don't get any time next week, to post another entry, hopefully the next post will be "Fiesta Girl's" release. Stay tuned, and take care!!! :-)

Welcome to 2018!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
FELIZ ANO NUEVO!!!!!!
What's good, my peoples? Happy new Year, and welcome to 2018! 2017 was a transition year for me, and I actually ended the year on a pretty strong note. I was able to attend a number of Kwanzaa events here in Wilmington that were off the chain, and actually ended my work week on a positive footing .
2018 is going to be a good year. I am in better spirits, and I'm in a better place on many different levels. Though my money could be a little bit better, at least I'm in a better position than I have been over the last few years. I will be celebrating the 10th year anniversary of operation for the Universal Africana Literary Arts Movement; quite an accomplishment I might add, especially without any manpower, or financial assistance. I will also be celebrating my EIGHTH year as a published author, and will be dropping my NINTH book next month in February. I'm really looking forward to the release of "Fiesta Girl"; it was definitely a labor of love. It was formerly a screenplay that I'd written over 20 years ago, and I didn't want the story to go to waste. Here is the cover for it:
I'm scheduling to have it released during the week of Akoma Day (February 14th-20th), my own way to celebrate the institution of Black love. February also marks the 3-year publishing anniversary of "The Chronicles of The Black Fist" (CreateSpace, 2015), my Action/Adventure superhero novel. Though I'll be concentrating primarily on marketing Fiesta Girl, I'm hoping to make a splash in sales for that particular novel; one of my favorite projects to date.
On the personal side, I'm hoping to meet Mrs. Right, settle down, and hopefully start a family. Brother ain't getting any younger, and I would like to be young enough to enjoy at least one child. Now If I can juuust find a decent sista/hermana to connect with...... ;-)
I hope that the new year has great plans for you. Let's make it happen, and move forward. Hoping to keep the positive vibes going, and to keep progressing.
Keep the fist raised!!! Uhuru sase, y paz!!!!
