Hi friends and fam, Today, I’d like to apologize to you for being unplugged for a little while. Among other things, I was working on my new novel that will soon be released. It’s called REBUKE and it is the first of quite a few tales that I have set in the sleepy town of Tranquility. This story, about a preacher and his family, spans four decades and offers readers a look behind the veil. By that I mean, in this book I am giving readers a glimpse into the private lives of the quintessential neighborhood preacher and his family. |

Hi friends and fam,  I hope all is going well for you. Today, for the first time we are discussing Iniquities – Book III of The Cohort Trilogy! I have to tell you, I gave this book all I had, not that I don’t do so with everything that I write, but this book was special to me for many reasons; one of which was…initially, I had not intended to write it. When I wroteAbsolution-- what has now become the first book in this trilogy, I moved on to a totally different novel. |

Hi friends and fam, I hope all is going well for you. Today we are yet discussing Progression – Book II of The Cohort Trilogy. We’ve already covered that in this book you get to meet three women and beautiful buff Beau, our main characters – The Cohorts. We discussed you meeting a self-serving young man whom we’ll call Red. We also discussed another male hottie who happens to love one of the Cohorts. We discussed the mamas –Beau’s mother in particular who is a trip. |

Hi friends and fam, Forgive me for not chatting with you on Thursday. Just know this…I try to get with you between Thursday and Friday. So… (big sigh) today we are yet discussing Progression – Book II of The Cohort Trilogy. I’ve already mentioned that in this book you get to meet people who are important to the three women and beautiful buff Beau, our main characters – The Cohorts. Among the newcomers that you’ll meet is a red-haired freckle-faced character who I will not name. |

Hi friends and fam, Today we are yet discussing Progression – Book II of The Cohort Trilogy. In this book I did something that I hadn’t done before. I brought in a mother figure. Sure, in the first book [Absolution] you heard about the mothers of different ones, but I didn’t allow you, the reader, to interact with them. I didn’t want to sidetrack you. I wanted you to focus wholly on The Cohorts, Beau and his women friends. However, in Progression you get to meet the woman who raised our beautiful buff Beau. |

Hi friends and fam, Today I must address something. Two times now I’ve heard it. I know that’s not a lot, but twice people have said they felt that a book of mine began slowly. Granted, those opinions were from the young. Granted, they may not yet understand that thedestinationis important. You know, where the story ends. However, thejourney,getting to the destination is crucial too. That said; I want to explain something. When a reader chooses me—one of my books, I feel as though that person has made an alliance, entered a non-verbal contract with me. |

Hi friends and fam, Today I’d like to apologize for not getting to chat with you on last week—got a little busy there, but here we are! Okay, I told you about how much fun the four friends in Book I of The Cohort Trilogy have together. Yet what I didn’t tell you about was the drama. Man, is there disturbance in Absolution! It shakes all the characters up, but isn’t that what happens in real life? And you know I believe art should mirror life. So we have these four friends / four cohorts going merrily along, getting their party on, enjoying life and |

Hi friends and fam, Today I’d like to discuss some of what happens inAbsolution,The Cohort Trilogy-Book I. By now, through my blog, or having read my novel(s) you know who the characters are in the book – Beau and his three women friends, his cohorts. Therefore, I’d like to give you a brief rundown on some of what takes place with them in the book. Since I had, and yet have, friends similar to Beau our main character, I tried to make this trilogy as close to real life as possible. |

Hi friends and fam, Today, in keeping with our theme:The Cohort Trilogy-Book I, Absolution which will soon be re-released with new ISBN numbers, new covers, and updated content I’d like to speak to you about our lead character. Well not about him exactly. I want to introduce Ronni to those of you who haven’t yet met her. This butter-yellow mouthy spirited woman happens to be Beau’s other roommate. Now I must tell you, with Ronni [RON-nee] you will either love her or hate her, there is no in between. |
