  <about><![CDATA[In October 2008 I was voted Best Author  in the annual Best of Edition of the Pasadena Weekly. 

The best-seller &quot;Blackbirds: Volume 1&quot; and &quot;A Liar's Tale&quot; 

last year I published &quot;Seize the Day Job,&quot; by Carl Kozlowski. 

I love to write stuff that challenges the reader and make him think, my books require to look at things in ways they never imagined.

In A Liar's Tale, I asked the simple question, what if all your lies came true? 

The Blackbird series is an honest look at racism and the black experience and doesn't just play the race card, but forces people to look at ALL of the cards.
