Hey all! I've been a ghost lately because of some family celebrations and a few tragedies. Through it all, I have been very busy. Here's some of what I've been up to:

So far, here's the Award Tally (to say I'm proud of these achievements would be an understatement):

In the Ghost's Shadow: International Impact Book Awards - Science Fiction; Global Book Awards - Silver Medal - Science Fiction-Genetic Engineering Category; Storytrade Awards - Finalist - Romance-Fantasy/Science Fiction Category with an opportunity for higher placement TBD.

Wicked Shadow Whispers Anthology Volume 1: Beyond the Veil: Global Book Awards - Bronze Medal - Short Stories Category; Page Turner Awards - Culture Award Finalist; Featured Listing for American Book Fest: https://www.americanbookfest.com/general.../anthologies.html

Beyond the Nile: Gods and Legends from the Heart of Africa: Global Book Awards - Finalist - Politics and Social Sciences Category

And I'm still waiting to hear from other award judge panels.

If you like Dark Fiction with a twist, and genre-blending Romance, I'm your guy.

Check out the website for two free short stories from 'The Z-Word' series in Wicked Shadow Whispers.

For my final offering, by invite only, my latest short story, the first in a series I'm calling the "The Asé-Born" and this is the first in the Convergence Arc, 'The Third Gate'. The series will be based on non-Kemetic African mythology, primarily from the West African pantheon and mythos.

Here's a link to my YouTube audio narration of the story: https://youtu.be/J3-_xw1H5OA
