When I read a book, I look out for the message the author is trying to pass across to the reader. Does the work contain wisdom? Have I learnt anything from it? I also look out for entertainment. Have I been sufficiently entertained?

I would say that life demands that we do not give up, no matter how hard it looks. I have lived by the simple code contained in almost all religions, Believe in God and do good works. (Remember God does not leave anybody behind.)

I should mention also that besides all these, I was born into a long line of artists from my maternal side, musicians, dancers, drummers and story tellers. My major genre is prose fiction, (the novel), followed by short stories.
