About the Author: I'm a resident of Phila Pa and a freelance writer and published author of fiction and non-fiction titles such as "Beyond deceptions Myths and Lies; about how 70 percent of African descended people of the Diaspora came to be Christians "Ancestral Memories" was considered the voice of the ancestors in a poetic art form telling their stories from the world of spirits. Before engaging in writing my first speculative/sci-fi work since it was centered on scenes taking place in the Middle Passage, and off the coast of Nigeria I spent 2 years studying Basic Seamanship, Navigation, and Charting this gave me a feel how to create believable characters and their environment. Cosmic Beginnings Trilogy: Spirit Walk, a War in Heaven, and Fire and Water my first fictional work was the beginning of a new genre I refer to as Cultural-Sy a combining of African legends, myths, and history filled with speculative elements. This genre includes a five book series to titled "To Resurrect and Avenge"; when police corruption encounters the supernatural. As a 25 year retired Law Enforcement the experience was crucial in writing To Resurrect and Avenge a five book series. A short stent in the military afforded me the opportunity to travel throughout the world experiencing numerous cultures in Austria, France, Italy, Germany and Iceland. Upon intensive research in African and Caribbean culture, folk lore, and spiritual systems I've traveled to Oyotunji village where I had the opportunity to meet the late Oba Ofuntola Oseijeman Adebula Adefumi the first. Since then I've traveled through West Africa continuing extensive research within the African spiritual systems, performing libations ceremonies in Cape coast, and Elima slave dungeons in Ghana, Gorey Island, in Senegal and James Island. While in Gambia I met with the spiritual leaders and chiefs of the country. In Togo I've participated in the rituals of the Fon people. It was there in West Africa where my teachings were obtained. The interaction and experiences of such valuable information acquired in my travels reflect through my writings.
