Reality Check > Royalty Check

Let’s get Personal for a moment.
So, I got an email yesterday for yet another RC. Now first I would like to say that the last two months have been absolutely heartbreaking for me. But by the grace of family, friends and blessings—I have been able to stay afloat. I know—we all go through it right? Life sees you doing something you love/positive and places a bulk order for “monkey wrenches” to toss at you.
However, this Royalty Check, while small and humbling in nature (no, I’m not big time just yet lol) was a huge reminder and eye opener for me. To put it simple, people are buying Borrowed Time. But not just buying it. Buying it, reading it and referring it to others. They are enjoying Jacob’s story and I couldn’t ask for more.
I would like to give thanks again to you all. I know a lot of the referrals may actually come from the very people, part of this page. I’ve always said I didn’t care about making a ton of money selling my stories. That still stands today, it’s secondary and normally goes right back into promoting my work. I just wanted to share my vision with the world…and it’s happening!!!
Last, I’m back people. For realzies this time. If you haven’t grabbed a copy of Borrowed Time yet, head on over to SommerioBooks.com and pick your flavor. Kindle, Paperback, iBook, Nook, Audible, iTunes etc.
Love you guys!

A Coincidence to You Maybe, For Me a Message!!!

The day after Christmas and I’m going through my own version of “therapy”. By therapy I mean playing this extremely time consuming and addictive videogame to numb me and take my mind off of the last week’s events. Now this game and I have a serious history and at one point I was playing it so much I began to neglect my responsibilities as a writer. So much in fact, I sold my PS4 so I would no longer play it. Did that work? Yes, actually it did…until I purchased said game for my daughter for Christmas and now have been playing it on  her  system for the lack of my own. But why the relapse? Well Friday December 20 th  2019 I did something I almost never do. I attended a funeral. Now let me backtrack for those of you that don’t know me very well. I don’t do death. I don’t do wakes and I don’t do funerals. This has caused plenty of controversy for years between both sides of my family and myself. It is in no way meant to be a sign of disrespect. And in the past, before I...

I get it 2020 but I'm on to you now and I'm moving forward!

I have come to the realization that 2020 is not going to stop throwing any of us curveballs. That being said, I wanted share this. For a while now, every time there was a tragic event I needed to take a mental break to recoup. I’ve watched cities burn, people dying from Covid-19, myself being stuck in the house almost feeling trapped.     The word “quarantine” becoming so synonymous with our everyday life it was ridiculous. But still it didn’t stop. 2020 refused to let up. Racial injustice, riots, looting and then finally a year of people close to me passing away.    Break 1, break 2, break 3….. and so forth. I found myself literally drowning in what was happening around me and barely living out my own existence and purpose.    So that’s what this is about. FIGHTING! Please, I implore all of you to keep going. Yes, we all need a break but life isn’t letting up. People are going to still pass away when you least expect it. Naysayers are still going to downpl...

IM NO LONGER INTERESTED! (a poem?)

IM NO LONGER INTERESTED! I’m no longer interested , as I thirst for change and see a future that is mine for the taking. To see what is beyond tomorrow, next week or even next year! But where I am right now… I’m  no longer interested. I’m  no longer interested , in working a 9-5 corporate job, to help someone  else  achieve  their  vision. Pretending  their  mission statement is my own, when in truth I know I’m expendable and replaceable. “Oh, so what you’re basically saying is your ungrateful .  There are so many that would love to have your job, or  a  job at all!” I never said I wasn’t grateful, I will always be grateful for what God has given me. However, working for someone else... I’m no longer interested. I’m no longer interested , with commuting via public transportation. To be bumped, pushed and touched. Saturated by the smell of someone else's forgotten hygiene, or consumed by their negative energy....
