SO......
The first full week of May is almost done. This weekend is Mother's Day weekend. Nooooot really looking forward to it, since my mom past in 2019. It gets kinda tough to deal with that holiday, whenever it comes around. My worst days are generally New Years (when she passed), Mother's Day, and on her birthday. I tend to be a little cranky throughout the day, but I'm usually able to play it off. I just get pretty quiet, and keep to myself. That's just me, and how I'm dealing with my grief, for now. I'll probably find a more constructive way to deal with it in the near future, but for right now, my moodiness will have to do...
Check it out!!! I've posted the latest episode of "The Rough Draft"!!! The vlog is now in the double digits!!! I've posted episodes 10 & 11 on YouTube, so if you have an account, go there and check out the videos. Don't forget to comment!!!

Enjoy the episodes!!! 'Like' the episodes, and don't forget to leave a comment!! Feedback is always welcome!! :-)
Still trying to increase sales for my books. Yeah...verbal pats on the back are nice, and people will post positive rhetoric on social media congratulating me on my success...but, I need some damn sales, and reviews!!! Really, people....cut the shit!! You're stuck indoors, for crying out loud!!! I can't even count on you people to download my novels during a pandemic?!?!?!
Aaaaaaanyway.....
I'm considering my options, as to what to do next. I've got a few ideas marinating in the old noggin. I'm working on trying to complete the rest of the books in my The Black Fist book series. I just need to finish the first draft of Book #3, and start writing more chapters in Book #4. I'm also considering a few sequel ideas, among other projects that I'm writing. Ahhhhh....a writer's job is never done.
Hope that you enjoyed this little slice of my life. With this pandemic going on, I'm trying to be a bit more consistent with posting content here. Can't make you guys any promises, though. Until next time....
Uhuru sase, y paz.
Keep the fist raised.

May Day, and the Pandemic Continues...
What's good, peoples?
Today is the first day of the month of May. The year is chugging along at a steady clip, despite the pandemic. The year is almost half done, if you think about it. Quite shocking, huh...? :-O
May marks the three-year publishing anniversary of my novel "Seductra: Web of Desire" (CreateSpace, 2017).
Three years ago, I published that novel, and it continues to be one of my favorites. The project is available in both paperback AND eBook formats. Please purchase, or even DOWNLOAD a copy of the novel, as well as my other projects. If you get the opportunity, PLEASE also write a review of the book .
The Dual Release is still going on. "Suicide Amy" seems to be fairing better that "Time Will Reveal"; I've had more purchases and downloads for that particular project. Of course, this pandemic isn't helping matters, much. At the same time, my eBooks are no more than $2-$3; not enough to damage your bank account.
My heart goes out to the indie bookstores that are suffering through this pandemic. I've been reading some articles posted on Literary Hub about some of the trials and tribulations that a lot of indie bookstores are going through because of their shuttered doors. Some are moving to do more online sales, while others are making deals with a new company called Bookshop.org; apparently a indie bookshop alternate to Amazon.com. I believe that my titles are available on Bookshop.org through my eBook publisher Draft2Digital (don't quote me on that, though). You especially saw the growth of indie bookstores in our Black & Latino communities, a much needed growth, at that. That growth has been seriously stunted with this pandemic. They might not survive the recovery, once this pandemic ends. This really makes me sad; they are a much needed resource in our community, considering how Black bookstores have been ravaged in our communities over that past two decades...
I'm still getting used to my new laptop. I've had to try to recover some fonts that I'd lost with my old laptop going kaput. That sucks for me, not only as a writer, but also for some of my graphics that I do for my book covers, and other projects. Not to mention, I had to get me a new video editing program to continue to produce "The Rough Draft". I'll let you all know how that works out...
Well, that's all for now. Hoping to keep you guys in the loop. The books are available, and ready for purchase. Please continue to support my works. I'll let you guys know what else I have coming down the pipeline.
Keep the fist raised!!!!
