A Few Words From The Author

All my life I was told that I talk too much and that I was too much.
To me in silence there’s death. Then came a time in my life where everything was silent.
This Mahogany's Blues was birthed from that silence .This book is an expression of that death. To me words are more powerful than any weapon that man kind can use; it isn’t what you say it’s how you say it. Words formed from the mouth of God shaped and formed our very existence .In my silent place (The Michigan Department of corrections)
I discovered hidden talents that where buried deep although I knew how to draw, write poetry, songs, etc. I didn’t know how to let my soul speak and through out these pages you can hear the voice of a man that was screaming in his silence. In that silence I came to the end of myself only to find myself. I am A writer with a ready pen.
