I am learning "hands on" about what it takes to develop a book. This being my first published book through my company, I did not imagine the pressure, mental/physical stress and frustration that goes along with it. For example; Editing-I have revised the book so many times that I began to lose my drive for the book. I did not want to write, talk about the book, promote the book, finance the book all because every night I would sit in my room and do rewrite after rewrite.
Am I scared? Yes!!! So along with the time and effort, I am shaking in my boots (literally) hoping that I am doing God's work and not man's.
I will say to my readers that Love Fiction: A Journey Through Its Truths, does detail a man's battle between his flesh, the world, and wanting to live in the glory of the Lord.
No way could I put my entire life, both good and bad, my battles with love and hate, in a book as such, but I did create snapshots of important events in my life that allowed me to grow. Let me write that again: I did create snapshots of important events in my life that allowed me to grow.
As my growth as a man continues to mature, I am realizing that having love in my life is important in all aspects. But I do have my moments when I ask myself this very question: What is Love?
The book purpose is to answer that question, no holds barred.

Book release date...
At home, I was lying on the floor thinking about when love was first introduced to me...June 04, 1975...
I wanted to introduce the love to all those who have been awaiting on the book to be release June 4th of 2008, but it looks as if that will not be happening.
To cut costs, I decided to outsource to a printing company in China. Sadly, the country of China has experience a horrific earthquake (pray for those citizens) which likely means that businesses are at a hault.
When I signed the printing contract with Vpi, a US company that transfers all their printing to a China-based printing factory, something in my spirit was telling me to hold off with sending the initial deposit of 2600.00. Weeks later, a 7.9 earthquake in China.
To all, GODSPEED. I will continue to tune-up the book, improve its contents, structure, to ensure perfection...be patient with me...I will not let you down.

Love Fiction: The book...My Life
In 2001, I was working the night-shift talking to my co-workers about the "playa" lifestyle I lived for many of years. So many women, many sleepless nights driving from one woman's house to the next, game playing with a slice of manipulation, someone was going to get hurt(usually the woman), and someone would get the props (me). As the conversation with my co-workers moved forth into explicit acts that I am ashamed of now, a thought rained on my spirit-I was fictionally-loving these women. It wasnt about love. It wasnt about companionship. It wasnt about making a woman happy. It was about selfishly getting all I could get out of the situation. And in the process, I lied, cheated, and hurt several people. Did I care? Yes and No. I love women. But I loved my manipulative spirit even more. My attitude was if I get into her mind...Game Over.
My mother did not raise me to be a liar or a cheat. But being a "playa" was all that I knew, lived and breathed the playa game. Years later, now look at me...
...So you are probably asking what does this have to do with the book LOVE FICTION: A Journey Through Its Truths?
You see, I could write a novel and brag egostically about my past quests, but in order to live life accordingly, I had to lose something that I loved, in order to gain something that was lost.
What did I lose in the process? Well...June 4th, 2008...you will be able to find out.
My question to all-Look at your current or even past relationships, LOVE FICTION, are you living in it or playing a part with it?
