Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Albany, GA in the 60s and 70s. It was a time of transition in America and in Albany. Schools were segregated, even after desegregation. As a young boy, I didn't venture far from my area of town and I've known most of my closest friends since birth. My extended family was as close as my immediate family. Many adults in church, school, and the community were a positive influence. Being successful was not a option, it was expected.
What inspired your cover design?
The cover was designed by Laura Brown and Eric Finley, Jr. (artist). I wanted to capture a scene from a family gathering, which is the impetus for the book. The scene takes place on the front porch of a home in Anytown USA. The men are talking about life and reminiscing while they watch the grandkids. The people in the scene are (from left to right): Wayne Brown (Pop-Pop), Justice (Grandson), Harmony (granddaughter), Serenity (granddaughter), and Irenus Brown Sr. (Big Pops).
