MLK Jr. Day for Me:

Many people will be grateful for the day off tomorrow, and much of what this day is about and commerates will be lost. As an African American male writer who strives to write work which enlightens people I'm always reminded of my first title, Love Don't Live Here - revised edition and how with just one book, a title which is fiction but quite political I was able to sign a distribution deal to allow the title to be stocked within the chain retail bookstore market (Borders/Waldenbook, Barnes&Noble etc). This was in 2006 and I was one of the first independent African American male authors to do so without many of his own titles, or authors signed to my company.

So we are not done, but yet it is those before us who have paved the way allow us to enjoy much of what we do today.

There will be no resting or partying for me. I will be writing, and working on my own legacy.
