There I was at NALIS chatting with my friend and he mentioned that he was doing research on Trinidad and Tobago folklore.
And I remembered that I have a copy of a novel that is no longer in print and I can share at no cost to anyone who wants a read.
It is an anthonlogyof Caribbean Folk tales "Madame Teteron and the Serpent and The Uninhibited Diplomathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06257084460654191376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239060724486509035.post-54227788500393978742019-03-31T07:05:00.000-04:002019-03-31T10:52:14.767-04:00Wanderlust and Travel, Readings and WritingsSo, I'm on a wanderlust, reading and writing binge again. Heading off to read at least 400 novels this year, so far I'm up to 139 and some of them have been extraordinary.
Last year, I discovered several new authors to me, J.M. Madden, Evelyn Adams, Tess Thompson, Kait Nolan, S.J. McCoy, Mary Crawford, Makenna Jameison, Ana E Ross, Marie Force, Carly Phillips, Jill Saunders, Colleen Thompson, The Uninhibited Diplomathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06257084460654191376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239060724486509035.post-34482340354506028912015-01-05T13:17:00.001-04:002015-01-05T13:44:50.923-04:00Writing Full Time AgainQuitting is never easy.
There are many things that go through your head when a decision is taken to leave what is known and hop into the miry unknown. Last year I did just that. I knew in my heart where I was, was not where my spirit wanted me to be.

Please don't get me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry!
Those famous words made popular by the fictional character Dr David Banner, the mild speaking medical doctor who through no fault of his own, turns into the 'Incredible Hulk' whenever he gets angry, epitomizes in many ways my personality.

I know, it's been a while, but I have been extremely busy with really very little time to write. Relax, I plan to amend that real soon.
As I wind down my relationship with Public Sector Communications, and ratchet up my focus on my writing career I'm doing things that I believe will help me create the environment I seek in which I can really excel.

It has been one of those very eventful years. One when you look back and can't seem to understand the whats or whys of the time. As 2011 spins to an end, I sit here with absolutely no regrets and with so much anticipation for the path I must traverse in 2012 I can hardly wait for 2011 to be gone, cast away into the history of man.

Communication in the Public Service is never easy on any given day, but when the situation is made increasingly difficult by novice public servants, who are also politicians, we seem to feel that communicating Public Service issues means getting in front of a television camera or a microphone and mouthing off your best sound bytes, for the benefit of tribal supporters, regardless The Uninhibited Diplomathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06257084460654191376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239060724486509035.post-43827071677553868262011-01-13T14:44:00.002-04:002011-01-19T18:21:45.860-04:00Weights Become Wings"They shall mount up with wings as eagles" (Isa. 40:31).
There is a fable about the way the birds got their wings at the beginning. They were first made without wings. Then God made the wings and put them down before the wingless birds and said to them, "Come, take up these burdens and bear them."
