Once a hobby-driven #writer, he has a few #poems #published in some online #magazines, including, Tomorrow, Please God, a short #fiction piece, published by #Moko #Magazine in #2015. #Fictional short #stories are one of many ways with which he hopes to achieve success, but more so, shed light on, as well as garner appreciation for, #West #Indian #creative texts. &BlackIssues, a #collection of "narrative telling" was his intro to the wide public; Tomorrow, Please God: The Seven Narratives, a #sophomore effort, #explores many things, but most important, it is an expression of the #human #experience. The works you will read in this new #collection are #African centered, steeped in #Caribbean #folklore & #cultural #narrative styles.

Now, the past, the land, and dis house, the spilled #blood of the #dead and even dat big old #church on the corner, it was all theirs.
