APOLOGY! APOLOGY! APOLOGY!

I am very sorry for not maintaining my blog. The site was prepared a few years ago and I was uncertain of what information would be safe to blog. Thanks to all of my viewers during my delay. These tentative posts will be revised as I realign myself with the blogging world.

WELCOME TO…

...Doeville, Alabama. This very, rural town serves as the location of many of my works. Many are still in progress. Primarily, African-Americans and whites with some mixed ancestry occupy this town. As Johnathan “Lil’ John” Wilkes grows up here, he struggles through the oppressive effects of jealousy, alcoholism, poverty, adultery and drug-abuse in their family.
