THOUGHTS ABOUT AGING BODY GROWING MIND

THOUGHTS ABOUT AGING BODY GROWING MIND – two directions at once A week or so ago I was at the Department of Motor Vehicle to renew my driver’s license. I did the vision test without an error. Missed a couple on the written test but knew the correct answers – I passed. Won’t have to do the whole thing again till 2025; by that time I will be age 90. I feel an imposing contradiction in my total being. My body definitely shows signs of aging – all my shit that was once firm muscular and in place now bags sags and slags leaving my appearance closer than ever to my alien alter ego, ET. In stark contrast my brain is a wellspring of creativity. I’ve just published my fourth book and already doing research for the fifth; I’m always seeking work as an actor–on camera and stage. In my dreams I fly dance and create love. I love life and I love me–all of me. Take a look at my new novel: amazon.com/dp/0983947724

THOUGHTS ABOUT LITERACY AND EDUCATORS

THOUGHTS ABOUT LITERACY AND EDUCATORS–good reading skills makes good teaching possible I have written a novel of historical fiction. It covers three (3) generations of a black family: 1930s, 1940s, and 1980s. This story may be compelling enough to attract the interest of young adult and adult students–particularly those endeavoring to increase their literacy skills. Educators and literacy trainers seeking reading materials may find “DIFFERENT ROADS SAME STOPS” an ideal item for teaching American History, ethnic studies, and personal development. As the author I am willing to join an educator or trainer or students to discuss the story in detail. Email: adolphusward@aol.com. Please identify yourself in the subject-line. www.amazon.com/dp/0983947724.

THOUGHTS ABOUT MY LATEST NOVEL - 2nd Generation

THOUGHTS ABOUT MY LATEST NOVEL– 2nd Generation [DIFFERENT ROADS SAME STOPS] is about three (3) generations of the same family: Annie Mae Tallman and Buddy Lindsey marry in Arkansas then moved to Wisconsin. They open this element of the story in Milwaukee in early 1940. Milwaukee was an industrial city with foundries and factories producing household and farm equipment. City factories also produced war materials. There was lots of work to be done but most of it unavailable to Negroes. During this period NAACP filed a suit against one major manufacture and World War II begins. As a staff employee of the Urban League Annie Mae fought to secure fulltime factory jobs for black men. If you like a good story you’ll love this book. It is in paper-back and e-book. Go to amazon.com/dp/0983947724 for your copy or buy one as a gift to someone you care about. THANK YOU!
