Hi friends and fam, Today, I’d like to wish all the mothers, and those who will soon become mothers a lovely Mother’s Day. As I was thinking about this special holiday, I couldn’t help but think about my own mom. Thinking about her caused me to think about other moms, and about a friend of mine who will soon again become a mom. Mothers, if they are anything like mine, are so precious—even those who have passed on. For my own mom, I truly thank God each day. I am overjoyed that she is yet here. |

I just saw an interview with Gabourey Sidibe who starred in the movie ‘Precious.’ In this interview she told of how an actress who is older than she is, an actress that she looked up to, advised her to get out of show business. Why? Because the actress, Joan Cusack to be exact, said the biz is image-conscious. What does that mean? Does that mean that the heavier person is not an image that we should see? I hate to pull the race card, but I wonder. Could Joan have meant...the darker person is not an image to be seen? |

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, Today, I’d like to continue discussing Iniquities – Book III of The Cohort Trilogy. I’ll tell you, I wanted to have a copy of the book before me while I spoke to you about it, but alas, I cannot. The truth is…I can’t keep enough copies of them in. They are going faster than I’d dreamed they would. I will however, have to tell you about this wonderful story anyway, from memory. Now readers met Beau, our gay male lead in the first book of the trilogy. |

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. |

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 want to discuss Progression – Book II of The Cohort Trilogy. I want to let you in on a little secret. I didn’t intend to write this book, a sequel. I simply wound up jotting down tons of things while writing a different book. Then readers kept asking what was going to happen, because of the way that Book I closed. So I went back to my notes. As I assembled them I saw that I had a ton of chapters. So I began the process. |
