About Hint
I opened this bookstore with the help of a webmaster, Paul from Eggplant software. He was in the hospital the last time I spoke with him.
The company called Hint was created from my memoirs' title, "A Hint of the truth." It was my first book. Short stories. My memories as a child, and a growing adult.
I choose to write.
My main attraction is Fascination: I am a patriot. It's a poetry collection. There isn't much of a pause between countries. It's a little Jumpy and loaded with facts and descriptions. One country right after the other. I convey the essence I captured in my studies.
I didn’t know how to celebrate Kwanza.
My son was in elementary school and they celebrated Kwanzaa at school one day. I didn't know anything about Kwanzaa. In order to celebrate with him I needed to figure out what it was. (Pre- Google.)
So I bought an encyclopedia of holidays. It was a country by country study. I decided to study one country at a time, and to write poems because they would be shorter and I thought, easier to write.
It was not that easy. I had a lot of help from good poets like Carol Lee Saffioti - Hughes from the blog post, In her shoes. And Wisconsin's famous poet, Stephen Kalmar.
My advice from what I've heard, is you should look forward to going through Fascination more than once, in order to learn from it. I went to school to be a teacher. I was short credits in order to skip the test. The rules changed and I failed the test. Point is, I am trying to teach the reader more than the facts. Also a sense of emotion for others.
I used an average of 5 to 7 books per country for Fascination. Thanks to the local libraries. The reason I have the blog is to write true stories, first- hand experiences, by the folks that live in one place or another.
The experience is irreplaceable, though we didn't celebrate Kwanzaa yet. I got such a feel for places. And now I can see the diversity and our common grounds.
I urge you to listen to Fascination. We gain from what we pay attention to and lose out on what we don't. Learn something new everyday.
I was recovering from dual addictions and dealing with my mental illness. I was a member of the local church for 7 years before marriage. I really got strong in my faith.
I kept a journal for two years. 2012-2014. An entry everyday. It's called Conversations with God. Mainly because I read the bible, and I prayed until I was ready to see God as a companion.
When I typed up my journal, I took out the dates and did some editing. The days are intertwined.
Journaling taught me that the way I feel doesn't change much, in meditation and in all reality.
My last book is about celebrations. At least 3 reasons to celebrate everyday. Fast facts, fun times, sad stories, traditional, religious and other holidays. 365 Days to Celebrate based on the 2025 calendar. It won't be finished in 2025. :( Life happens!
