with an autobiography BOOMERANG (2015).
He became interested in writing mystery and published a collection of short

ultimately a death, for which three persons each believe themselves responsible.
FOR A WOMAN (2022), traces the efforts of two high school classmates, Bobby
Banfield and Trey Thaxson, to rejuvenate the performing career of another, Shontel
Williams. They are White. She is Black. Financing is difficult. Accessing the
mob is helpful, but easy money becomes a coin hard to swallow. They persist…
motivated by love and a lust for power.view less
