I am currently working on a revision of In The Shadow of Cotton. I originally began compiling the first book in 2013. It was published December 2017. Since then, I have lost my parents, and my sister. I added some new material and included more of my thoughts and perceptions of my life. The new version is currently being edited with plans to publish the first month or so of 2020.

There once was a time when I was happy and had it all, or I thought so. I was a single parent, raising a fantastic little boy. I had a wonderful career and could afford the material things that made my life complete and comfortable. But, I was filled with pride and attributed all the blessings in my life to my own doing, not God's. Then, in an instant, I fell from grace to land behind bars, and lost everything dear to me. It took that for me to wake up and realize I had God in my mind, but not in my heart. I was a Christian, but did not show it, or put my faith into action. My journey to where I am now was painful and bittersweet. It is my story, for better or worse. I can blame no one for my downfall except myself. I was the architect of my own house of shame.
