It is with great pleasure and pain that I bring this collection of essays and poems to you.I hope that my words speak to you clarifying the rationality of a Millennial born in Atlanta. This collection follows themes of passion, spirituality, brotherhood and government. I draw on my experiences and raw emotion as the first generation product of Nigerian descent. These pieces can be read in order, or by selection. I hope you enjoy my tales.

"If you enjoy reading puerile literature, this is for you." Cheech and Chong meet Harry Potter in this parody for all the Potterheads out there by L. Henry Dowell!!! Hairy Pothead the Stoned Sorcerer is an easy read, because let's face it, most of you who will be reading this book have probably smoked yourselves daft by now, anyway. On his 30th birthday, the stoner known as Hairy Pothead receives a somewhat delayed invitation to attend the Hawgsleg School of Wizardry and Herbology. While there, he meets a wacky group of misfits including a gentle giant named Groovius Haggard, the dark and disturbing Professor Rape and Bumbling Dumbass, the lovable old Headmaster of Hawgsleg. Of course, he also meets the two people destined to become his bestest friends, Red Measley and Hornie Stranger. Little do any of them know that an evil power is hiding in their very midst. "WHO?" That's right! "WHO?" Exactly! It's the villainous King Owl Jr.! But what does he want with dear old Hairy??? Please Note: This parody is NOT for children NOR prudish sorts! (And especially not for prudish sorts of children!!!) Also Note: This book contains a handy British slang guide in the back at no extra charge to you, gentle reader!

In Sorry About Your Diagnosis . . . You’re Fired!, Cindy Marshall shares the intimate details of her journey through the trials and tribulations of life. At 47, she was at the top of her game, a successful Chief Marketing Officer and sought-after board member traveling the world, until a lump in her breast turned her entire life upside down. 
Cindy tells of her valiant battle with breast cancer compounded by the unthinkable—the loss of her job during chemotherapy. But wait, there’s more! She relentlessly clawed her way back in life and the business world when a near-fatal ski accident sidelined her again.\nAs Cindy looks in the rearview mirror 10 years later, she reflects on how these events didn’t break her spirit but made her stronger. Cindy’s strength, resolve, and positivity will be a gift for anyone needing a dose of inspiration. Her memoir is raw, funny, and heartbreaking at times, and it should be required reading for anyone who has a mother, sister, daughter, friend, or loved one battling breast cancer.
