      "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions"

      - Albert Einstein

      "Reason is intelligence taking exercise. Imagination is intelligence with an erection"

      - Victor Hugo

      "Life is a journey, each step is a glance into a future unknown."

      This is my way of walking forward as a storyteller, telling what I feel and know. Giving life to those that wish to breath.

      My nana was a root worker and healer in Louisiana, as was her mama, and her mama before her, reaching far back into my family, longer than most can remember.

      She would tell me stories all the time as a young child, stories of magick, swamps and bayous, other root-workers and powerful conjure people that walked in both worlds. It was this art of story telling, creating worlds inside myself that would save my life.

      As a little boy, I was not always treated with kindness. My young skin was whipped and brutalized, my innocence taken, but I always had my imagination, thanks to my nana .

      It was the 'friendly faces in my mind' that saved me,it was the 'pretty land of angels' that would hold my spirit dear from a world that seemed cold and callus. As I grew up, I turned to therapy to heal these wounds. My doctor once told me to write about these places I would go to when abused, to finally release that hurt little boy inside of me.

      I did as I was told some 26 years go, but stopped because life got in the way.

      August 5, 2013- 8:40 am

      I looked at my old I-Mac and started the journey inside that little boy again, telling a story only he could tell, giving him a voice finally.

      Now the sun shines brighter, food taste better and life is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. The 'friendly faces' that where once only in my mind, these sweet, whispering comforts are now apart of my life as a writer, a story teller, a 'conjure man of words'.

      My nana used gris-gris and talisman to help so many. I watched as dark eyes became bright, given hope, I feel I am continuing the love she had shown me so many years ago.

      The only difference, my gris-gris are words, adjectives, nouns, and prose, creating characters I now love and adore, conjuring life and spirit.

      I hope this book brings you love and grace, filling your heart with wonder and adventure, just as it has done for me.

      Take care of the characters, love them as much as you can.

      Allow them to tell their stories in the way they wish and you will be with them in their wonderful worlds.

      This I can promise you.

      Thank you for this honor and your support
