Urban Strange Tales: Short Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088095164)

Having experience in science fiction as a child I would sneak and read my uncle's comic books. I've been an avid reader of science fiction and SCi Fi movies; I love horror. My uncle and I stayed up late watching horror, watching science fiction, watching cartoons, Birdman, Space Ghost, The Herculoids, Bionic 6, Transformers, the GoBots... the list goes on...

I started reading comic books very young, at the age of 13, as a way to escape the rough life of Harlem New York City. Comic books were my escape; my favorite hero of all time is Superman; yes, Superman. We're talking about Christopher Reeves, the one and only original Superman, one of my heroes.

Harlem was very rough for me when I grew up. Later on, I worked as a trash truck driver for Republic Waste Services. I worked as a security guard and did my work with pride; working every day, 6 days a week. While on guard duty, I would watch things like the Predator, the X-Men with Johnny Quest; and also catch up on my sports, the NBA and the NFL.

I worked hard every day. I gave up my guard card and got a class B CDL and worked hard every day as a bus driver; and as a part-time gig, I would sell comics and toys for low prices, which I still do to this day.
