I never was in the arm forces so i did not get a chance to participate in the war on terror over seas. But its a war on terror right here in chicago. The youth today is acting as terrorist by killing each other at an alarming rate. Chicago city streets is a war zone,gang violence is at its all time high. We have two gangs that control the streets, the people nation and the folks nation and they are both highly organized like the italian chicago outfit or mob. Chicago is a gangster city no doubt,but i try through my books to bring a solution to the senseless violence that plaque our streets. My novel "Fruits of the Poisonous Tree" brings a side of chicago to life that most people has never seen or heard of. I will fight terror here one book at a time. Peace!

Hey Wade,
Your cover is excellent! Well Done! Good luck with your book.

Being from the streets i can feel the frustration of inner city youth. They feel theres no hope out of the poverty stricken streets in which they live. Plus being surrounded by every evil imaginable. Hell is not a place underground where a red horn devil lives. Not to us,hell is our life with black men such as my self acting as the devil. We can see the tall buildings in downtown chicago but that side of the city seem galaxies away. I pray some day all of our children will know a better life. PEACE!

I'm so proud of my big brother,he was recently featured on the tavis smiley show entitled to important to fail. The program was about how our public school's are under attack. Our teachers are under paid plus the funding for public schools are being taken away. Our children deserves better. They are our future. My brother is a principle that go beyond the call of duty for our children sake. My books bring to life the tragedies of a failed school system and community.

Happy Holidays to all hope everyone had a bless Christmas. I'm currently working on part two of my book. The streets of Chicago always give you new ideas and stories to write about. On Christmas day a gas attendant was murdered. The guys robbed him and as they left gunned him down. The attendant had just had a new born child. So sad my prayers goes out to his family.

Chicago police department has killed 22 people this year. New York has killed 11 and New York is three times bigger than Chicago. Children is being murdered every day by gang members. Chicago is in a state of emergency! The city has gone crazy. With chaos like this around you i can write a book every day if i could.

The G 8 summit is coming to Chicago this spring. But Chicago is having another summit that in my eyes is just important. We are having a gang summit, Chicago have 126 gangs with over 500,000 members that stretch nation wide. This summit will try to bring peace to the city of Chicago.

What a wonderful thing they just did for the inmates at cook county jail in Chicago. They built a barber college there so now inmates can earn their barber license so once they are released they can have a trade and become a barber. I think prisons and jails across the country need to follow suit and focus more on reform than punishment. How are you going to do better if you don't know better. Peace!

I'm just sitting here reflecting on my life and the life of others around me. My life has been an experience that scared me, harden me, and educated me. Ive witness molestation and murder. My dreams are filled with night mares and waken up in cold sweats. I write to release the pain. I must do my part to try and change some of the things that i had to encounter. May God bless us bless us all.

10 people dead and 50 shot over the weekend in chicago. Chicago has had record weather in the month of march temperatures reaching into the 80's. That type of weather always brings out violence in chicago. I'm asking everyone to pray for my city thanks!

Through my books i try to bring you the reader inside Chicago's most notorious housing projects that terrorize the streets of chicago for years. The street gangs in chicago is very organize and ruthless. Men risk their lives for a piece of the American dream. Through poverty and desperation they hustle and enforce their hustle by a bullet from a gun. Fruits of the Poisonous Tree,the projects being the poisonous tree and the children being its pestilent fruit.
