Words From The Author: Writing has always been a passion of mine. I was writing stories and creating books even as a child. I loved the idea of creating something out of nothing. I loved the idea of adding something to the world that didn't already exist. However, as the years continued, I somehow lost the desire to create stories. It wasn't until I was a graduate student at Howard University that the desire to write re-emerged in my life. It happened all of a sudden. As more and more stories depicting the diversity of Black culture came to the forefront, I began to see how I could contribute to that movement. Therefore, one night, I sat down in front of my computer and started to write a story. That story became my first book entitled the Life and Loves of a Not So Average Joe.
