I was aspired by Sister Soilder, Donald Goines, Eric Jerome Dicky and  Richard North. I am a reader of all books , I enjoy a good book with a great story line.  After reading Terri Woods, " Dutch " , I knew that her story was similar to mines, I was once considered a drug king pen, similar to the ones she wrote about.  I  was the character in Micheal Baison books as well, but what made me different is I lived life to the fullest.  When I was in prison, my cell mate in lock up was an avid reader, I used to tell him about the things I have seen and the places I been and was amazed he put down the book he was reading and that's when I knew I had great stories!
