UPCOMING EVENTS - 2018

Good morning to all who will be reading this post. I'm reaching out to let my readers know that two very significant events that are schedule for next year are on my calendar for attendance:



2018 Paris Book Fair

2018 London Book Fair

I'm making travel plans now for these two events. I'll have all of my books to present and I'm expecting a good time both in Paris and London. I plan on having my fourth book finished by then so it will be presented there as well. If anyone reading this can get free and can attend, I look forward to see you there.

Monday Morning Magic

It was a decent weekend with my family. My health issues flared up and it kept me down for a little while. I still got to spend time with my grandkids which is always a good thing. I need to get myself back in shape and loose about forty to fifty pounds. All this additional weigh is the problem and it's hard as hell to get it off! I don't make new years resolutions ever but I'm declaring that an immediate goal of mine is to loose this weigh and get my body back!

I'm hoping to have my fourth book complete by the end of the year. It sucks having all of these distractions that keep popping up. I need to come up with a new logo for my company and to get that back on track as well. I want to get back to NC for work and not be up in VA. I miss my family and my house very much. Sleeping in a strange bed is never a good thing especially when your own isn't that far away. I made this sacrifice and I have to live with it but I don't like it at all.

I'm at work about to get my day started and I'm looking forward to having a great day despite how tired I feel. I need a vacation and I think I'll talk my wife into either a cruise or going to Italy like she always wanted. We haven't been out of the country since 2014 so we're long overdue. I just sent in my passport renewal application so the sooner that gets processed the better. Well, it's time to get to work so take care and thank you to all of those who read this message.

Baltimore Book Festival

Good morning all. I just wanted to again announce me being at the Baltimore Book Festival tomorrow. It will be held at the inner harbor beginning at 11am and lasting until 7pm. The festival will be held all weekend so come out and support all the writers and publishers that will be present. I'm excited about it because it's the first time for me to attend this event. My cousin Kim will be assisting me and hopefully, it will be a good day for me as a writer. Again, come out and visit the event and let's look forward to having a great weekend in Baltimore!

Upcoming Event

On Friday, September 22 - 24, the Baltimore Book Festival will be happening at the Baltimore Inner Harbor from 11am to 7pm. I will be there to do some networking and meeting fans who will attend the event. It lasts the entire weekend so please come out and attend.

Friday, a Day of Purpose and Change!

I have to remember that the only person that could ever prevent me from reaching a goal I set is me! I realize for the first time in a while that I've allowed so many negative people to get in the way of my happiness. I've allowed them to influence my life in almost every aspect. Well boys and girls, that bullshit has abruptly came to an end. I've began the process of cutting off negative assholes who try on a daily basis to disrupt my joy. Forget them all and every negative bit of bullshit that they bring to the table!

My dad told me back when I was a teenager something that is as true and real as the sunrise and sunset. He said to me this; "if you hang around with "ain't shit people" eventually, you'll become an "ain't shit" person! Surround yourself with positive people doing positive things and positive things will happen to you!" I was doing just that recently but then I let my guard down and some of the "ain't shit" people managed to creep their sorry asses into my circle. I got rid of two of them this morning and it felt great. I have a few more to get rid of and my weekend will be awesome.

Anyway, I'm at work now so let me get to it. I'm heading home to NC for the weekend and I can't wait to see my family. God bless everyone who reads this message and remember what my dad told me...get those "ain't shit" assholes from out of your life. The sooner you do that, the happier you'll be!

A Great Day

I'm claiming that today is going to be a great day. I will accomplish every goal I set for myself for today and everything will be okay. I'm at work and I'm ready to face the challenges that lie ahead. I have to get my book finished and submitted to the publisher. I'm excited about that and I'm slowly getting my finances in order. 2017 will end on a very good note. God bless everyone who reads this message.

COWBOYS WIN!

My Cowboys started the season off right with a win against the Giants...thank God they won. On to Denver to kick the Broncos ass! My Patriots are going to bounce back against the Saints and shut those haters up really fast! They're talking about how Tom Brady should retire...bullshit on that. Anyway...new business.

I'm at work getting ready to get busy and I'm excited for the week. I'm not anticipating anything new but I welcome the good news that's on the way. I'm heading home to NC this weekend and I'm looking forward to seeing my family and especially my grandkids. I'm ready to start a new project of sort all I have to do is find one and make it happen. I need to get my book finished as well and keep moving forward. Anyway, let me get to work and thank you to everyone who reads this message. Have a great Monday!

Feel Good Friday

I'm hoping my family is safe during all these hurricanes. I'm worried for them and everyone else in the path or Irma. I'm at work now and I'm a little busy which I like because it makes the time go by faster. Anyway, let me get back to busy so everyone who reads this take care, be safe especially if you're in Florida, Texas and the Carolina's.

What's on my Mind

I'm praying for the people of Houston and all of those who are displaced because of this massive hurricane. Now, as people are working towards getting their lives back in order, here comes Irma heading towards the Caribbean and Florida like a runaway freight train! Lord, please spare us more pain and loss of life because of these types of storms. I'm hoping that the loss of life and damage to property are at a minimum; wishful thinking I guess!

I'm in the middle of getting book two closed out and I'm excited about that. I've finished my part of the editing so on to the next phase of the process. I had a great weekend with my family and my grandson Jeremiah. I'm so proud of that little man and I know he's going to grow up to be a really great human being. Well, I'm at work now so let me get to it. Take care and God bless everyone who reads this message.

Magic Monday

It was a good holiday weekend with my family. I left early to get in front of the heavy holiday traffic; great decision! I'm glad it's going to be a short work week as well. I'll have time to relax and get caught up on my rest. Anyway, let me get back to my rest and I'll be in touch.

Smooth Sunday

It was a good week and I'm glad I made it home safely after driving from northern Virginia to North Carolina in a very heavy rain. I had to stop a few times because I could barely see past the front of my car. I thanked the Lord I made it here safely to my family. I'm going to enjoy the rest of my time at home and do some grilling today. I'm going to go and get some breakfast and spend the rest of the day with my family. God bless all who reads this message.

Friday

Well it's Friday September 1st which marks the beginning of the month and a new beginning in general. I'm ready to go home for the weekend to see my family in NC. It's been a long week but a productive one. I'll be working on my book this weekend and hopefully, spending time with my grandchildren. Anyway, it's time to get busy at work so to everyone who reads this, have a great weekend!
