I keep my eyes on the day star
Its light reaches through galaxies
It illuminates all dark places
I ramble through dark despair
Striving to reach its glow
Darkness of fear blinds me
But its brilliance lights my way
It is the most lustrous
It makes white of the night sky
Unobscured it shines to me
And like the day star I shine now too
Greetings and salutations to one and all.
Examiner.com's National African-American History Examiner put out a call for 100 African-American authors to list on Examiner.com. The list is first come, first serve; last I checked there were about 40 slots available. It would be great to have black sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and sword & soul listed.
There's no cost involved. Click here for more details.
If it be the will of MAAT let this be the beginning of more Light,
I am an artist from New Orleans who just moved out of the Bay Area to Houston Texas.
I opened my eyes while living in Asia and it took about 5 years for the blinding pain of truth to wear off so that I was able to see the truth, and begin to begin the cycle of change.
I am a spatial thinker with divergent concepts. My art involves Abstract art paintings, Digital dark room, Music and Movie concepts. I have always been told to focus my thoughts to create the jewel I now realize that those words were of people who were not as I. They did not realize that some people have to focus there thoughts and some people have to allow their visions to unfold. Lasers are focused light; flowers are scenes of life unfolding. My work creates a living scene that unfolds in the minds spectators developing into seeds of light watered by their convections warmed with their souls and harvested in their thoughts.
I am in dire need of a cartoonist who is able to bring to life my visions. Can we work together? Your swift response is always appreciated.
We were Gods of Amnesia, now Gods of consciousness becoming Gods of Tomorrows future we.
We are the way the truth and the life,
Knovio
Hi everyone, an excerpt from "Prophets 1: Heaven's Adversary".
A diagram of human re-classification that is a dominant story device in my sci-fi trilogy.
Check it the details here on my blog:

Enter Kenneth Neal (you can call me Ken): Age, 29, an activist/journalist, scholarship-winning poet and sci-fi novelist who felt compelled to share his not-to-be-missed experience with readers across the globe.
The premise of this work could be considered the fusion from the likes of Frederick Douglass / Stan Lee / Harvey Milk / Karl Marx. I've been active enough by doing my part to promote social, cultural, and class destruction awareness with my blog.

(when you see Karl Marx, you know you've reached the right destination)
The first of three of my flagship titles has been crafted within the Supernatural/Horror/Action category, dealing with global and bizarre anomalies connecting our world to brutal creatures of dwelling within Purgatory. Elements of "Poltergeist", "Cloverfield" and "The DaVinci Code" are heavily prevalent throughout.

The other pertains to a SciFi/Fantasy/Cyberpunk trilogy, involving current and advanced technological theories along with mythological references. Think "The Fifth Element" fantasy, "X-Men" ambition and "300" grit. The main focus would center on a new super-villain with vile intentions and great power that is sure to garner high rankings amongst fantasy enthusiasts.

"Evil For All Time" (E-FAT) is my personal manifesto that covers a myriad of topics challenging concepts of eugenics, overpopulation , class warfare, and the numerous metaphysical bonds humans have to Mother Earth. It holds religious and governmental motives accountable for the breakdown of modern society who also set intentional goals to profit from global human misery.

Contributor @ Political Fail Blog:
http://www.politicalfailblog.com/2011/09/ken-neal-writer.htmlHeavy D, whose real name was Dwight A. Myers, was a highly respected icon in the Hip Hop/ Entertainment Industry. His contributions to the game in the late 80's and 90's made resounding waves that live on forever. This week WNWP-TV (http://wnwp.tv) pays a special tribute to The Over-weight Lover himself on Soul TV Music Videos, featuring clips of some of his biggest hits and footage of interviews with the artist. Airing @ 10:00pmEST.
Myers was born on May 24, 1967 in Mandeville, Jamaica, the son of Eulahlee Lee, a nurse, and Clifford Vincent Myers, a machine technician. His family moved to Mount Vernon, New York, in the early 1970s, where he was raised.
Heavy D & the Boyz were the first group signed to Uptown Records; their debut, Living Large, was released in 1987. The album was a commercial success, though Big Tyme was a breakthrough that included four hits. Trouble T. Roy died at age 22 in a fall on July 15, 1990, in Indianapolis. Dixon's death led to a tribute on the follow-up platinum album, Peaceful Journey. Pete Rock & CL Smoothcreated a tribute to Trouble T. Roy called "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" which is regarded as a hip-hop classic.
Heavy D & the Boyz gained even more fame by singing the theme song for the television program In Living Color and also MADtv, and Heavy D performed the rap on Michael Jackson's hit single "Jam" as well as sister Janet Jackson's hit single "Alright". Heavy D then began focusing on his acting, appearing in various television shows before returning the music charts with Nuttin' But Love. After appearing in the off-Broadway play Riff Raff at Circle Repertory Company, Heavy D returned to recording with the hit Waterbed Hev. In 1997, Heavy D collaborated with B.B. King on his duets albumDeuces Wild rapping in the song "Keep It Coming." Heavy D was referred to in the song "Juicy" by the Notorious B.I.G., and appeared in his music video for "One More Chance".
In the mid-1990s, Myers became the first rapper to head a major music label, when he became the president of Uptown Records. Myers helped to develop rhythm-and-blues singer Mary J. Blige's career and hired Sean “Diddy” Combs as an intern. He later became the senior vice president at Universal Music.
Heavy D performed at the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards in October 2011. It was his first live performance in 15 years. Myers died on November 8, 2011, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 44. He collapsed outside his Beverly Hills home and was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. It has been reported that his death was due to respiratory distress and that no foul play was involved.

So, I like it when an author puts race in front of my eyes. I enjoy visualizing what a character looks like, race and all. When it's done correctly, the experience can deepen the reader's relationship with the character. There are some people who say that showing race in this way is racist. They enjoy reading or writing raceless, race free, or characters of color with little or no physical description. I contend that this approach is racist. Read More
Yes, I know that some people have had bad luck with them, but it's only been a week for me. I let a woman at work read a few of my stories (she is from Uganda) and she LOVED them! She took them home to her husband, and she wants to read more. : )

Hey brothas and sistas of the dark skin! NHWI animated movie trailer coming in december. Started 4 yrs ago, its amateurish but full of AFRICAN love. Stay tuned...LOVE RESPECT
I am not going to lie, I use the term because of all the hub-bub behind it, the anxiety of something being untouchable and the clamor of folks looking to be learned or advanced. So much fun to see all that play out. Envisioning yourself as something more and then snatching it away from yourself...ah, the art of self-seductive/inductive b.s.
Truthfully, I would just say I am a mental alchemy writer or a mind scribe, but damn, I do not have the patience to mentally induct people over time to believe in my b.s., so sci-fi is the perfect answer. It even sounds shiny when you say. SCIIII-FI....like air getting sliced with a thin blade. One thing...the 'SCI-FI' I write about is not external. Let's pull another Voodoo move like we did with the plagurized Saints(energies of nature) time to rock some veils and kill some Vampires...Enjoy the rant!!!! Rise in Excellence!!!!! www.renpetscifi.com
Rise in excellence, working hard on my next Novel 'N'. It is difficult to fully incorporate into the writing system of this planet but it is coming along regardless of the tendency to psychically project on paper and Microsoft word only to end up having my words visible only in the 5th dimension.
Anyway, I didn't come here today to talk about my challenges; other beings from my world already think I am a social-media-retard because I just won't mentally induct everyone into following me. I am here to wish everyone well and to remind those that have not checked out my website to do so....and no, there are no undercurrent 5th dimensional sentences in this post.

Hi all!
i just published my first set of short stories on Lulu. I'm new to the whole ebook phenomenon, and I thought that it could be me. But, my friend bought it, and couldn't download it, and I bought one, and it didn't download! I emailed my friend a copy, but that could be a problem! I put the Adobe Editions setting so people can't steal it, but if people have trouble with it, it won't sell! Ah, live and learn. I'll see how it goes...
Who Fears Death has won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel! See the full list of winners here.
And where was I when this awesome news was announced? In a maximum security jail in Chicago visiting one of my students who'd gotten into some trouble. I needed to make sure he was ok. He was. As much as he could be. He’s maintaining.
It was good to see him. He said he was enjoying the latest book I’d sent him- a copy of His Dark Materials. Regardless, seeing him there made my heart ache and eyes burn (as it did back in April). He’s a brilliant young black man.
I came out of there fighting sadness. So many young men of color, predominately black, locked up like animals. I'd noticed when I walked in that on the controls on the wall (which featured several buttons), the one marked "trouble" was flashing and beeping. Apparently (my student told me), someone had just been stabbed and was in bad bad condition.
So, I got into my car sat there for a few moments and then looked at my cell phone (you can't bring your cell phone into the jail). Even as I picked it up, it buzzed as it received another text. When I flipped it open, my eyes nearly popped out of my head. For several minutes I was in a sort of mental turmoil as my sadness battled my extreme happiness. I drove to my mother's house in a sort of shock (had to pick up Anyaugo).

But when I got there, my family had already heard the news from my editor and I could do nothing but give in to the happy dancing and confetti throwing. Now, week later, I sit here smiling.
I am really proud of this novel. I worked so hard on it. It worked so hard on me. This is beautiful.
