On March 18, 2020, I was admitted to the hospital after experiencing symptoms, and ultimately testing positive for, the coronavirus (COVID-19). Never could I have imagined that I would experience so many life-threatening battles and still be alive today to tell this story. Fifteen days under sedation (on a ventilator), two dialysis sessions, two blood transfusions, internal bleeding, blood clots in my left leg and my right hand, a battle with pneumonia, a stroke and the tips of two right fingers amputated...yet here I am, alive and kicking, telling my COVID-19 story. I Ain't Done Living Yet is my story of survival. It is my story of how - during my battle with the coronavirus - God was with me as I went to hell and back and survived. There is no question that my faith, as well as that of my close friends and family members, was tested during this difficult, uncertain time, as it had been at other times throughout my life. But as always, God had a purpose for me; He put me through the various challenges of financial stress, homelessness and a seven-year struggle to (ultimately) pass the Illinois bar exam, in part, to prepare me for His purpose. I pray that my story and my testimony, chronicling the day-to-day events of what I went through to overcome and survive COVID-19, encourages you to see that there is life after the virus, and that, as with anything, you can fall down, make a lifetime of missteps and mistakes, yet still rise again and truly thrive, better than ever.

Sequel to the hit thriller "When Truth and Justice Die." While the United States reels in the wake of anarchy unleashed by Tymax and the amoral masses, the lives of Ferguson, Bauer, Isaac, and their fellow patriots are transformed by a mysterious set of documents. Tyranny gains a foothold and spreads like a disease across the land. The angel and the prophet strengthen the patriots' will and confirm the direction they must travel, but the enemy of freedom does not rest. The tyrant and his vassals grope for riches and power and strike a massive blow, but the patriots fight on, carrying the torch of freedom and striving to rescue our nation from the growing wave of oppression. Where will the patriot's path lead, and what will the outcome be? The destiny of freedom lies in the balance as the dwindling flame of patriotism ignites a journey of faith, a race against time, treachery, and the demon of human greed.

This has been a very trying project to complete. Redwood Ritual is the objective observation of the world as it is today as it presently presents itself. Though this required far less time than Soul Split Son, Redwood Ritual is quite comprehensive. I've explored various writing styles to express the messages I sought to convey. Some were created in an abstract form, where my thoughts took the lead with no regard to organization. Others explored political events and the cultural metamorphosis which is ever evolving. And then there are entries which directly attack certain facets of life, which we as individuals deem to be imperative to our own ways of life. No one person or group was targeted, but the point and purpose of Redwood Ritual was to illustrate the direction we as a society are headed towards in contrast to the lifestyle and values my generation was raised to embody. It has been said that change and progress are a good thing, however; what happens when we repeat history and trends? There can be no growth, but we will stand mired and lost as a world culture fixated on what has become socially and financially acceptable. We treat the phrase "politically correct" as the benchmark for conversation and education. People have become intimated, shying away from being honest and transparent about their thoughts and emotions. And it is my hope that Redwood Ritual proves itself to be a segway for open communication and unbiased transparent observations.
