Since then, a great deal has happened, all very positive. In the last three years, Bittersweet Journey has given me the opportunity to communicate with thousands of readers around the globe in the global community we live in. With that success, I’m encouraged to continue with my passion to write about history in one shape or another. As we speak, I’m currently in the process of writing my next two stories. The first is, and one that I am most excited about, is the historic 2008 presidential election won by Barack Obama, the first African American president. I tell the story of the election from the point of view of my father and me, two African American men of two different generations. Not only that, but at a time when the relationship between my father and I was at its lowest level ever in our fifty plus years as father and son. Through the election we were able to heal our relationship, while at the same witness one of the most historic episodes in American and world history. I just recently reached the half way mark in the manuscript, and I’m excited about sharing a few excerpts with you now. I don’t have a title for the story yet, that will come a little later.

My second story is Esmerelad’s Volcano, a historical novel that takes place in 1985. It is the story about love and redemption during an environmental tragedy that occurred in the Colombian city, Amero. The city of Amero was nearly wiped-out by a volcanic eruption. The story revolves around an American geologist who is guilt-ridden because he was unable to predict the disaster, and a young Colombian girl, Esmerelda who is personally caught up in the disaster and displays remarkable courage. Both stories will be out in 2012.
