Gratitude to Milton Davis for not only blessing me with this opportunity but for also being one of the most dedicated souls to Black Speculative Fiction and all things Black Excellence. To be included in a groundbreaking anthology which showcases an amazing array of talented writers is an honor in itself.
The Bonds That Bind is a major achievement on a personal level because it’s un asunto de La Familia.
I finally got to fulfill a promise I made some years back. The Pogue Institute makes its presence known and two superheroes by the names of Zephram and Summer Pogue make their long-awaited and long overdue debut. Said debut lays groundwork for other stories I have down the pipeline.
Spyfunk is available wherever books of awesome are sold. Grab yourself a copy. You’ll be glad you did.
