Hotep Brotha'!!

I don't know where to start 'cuz that book is DEEP!! First of all let me  ask you if there is anyway I can meet Brother SHANGO!! I fell in love with that man...:o)

Let's deal with the characters in the book.

SHANGO: I feel in love with him the moment he told Aiysha, that he wanted to grow with her, make plans with her, feel pain and pleasure with her, experience struggle, defeat, disappointment and success with her...  I appreciate his character being Sexual as well as Spiritual. He was so patient with Aiysha even when I felt that she didn't deserve him sometimes. A few times Shango used some curse words that blew me away becuase I found myself putting him on a pedastal but then I thought about it, sometimes we say different things out of frustrations in different situations. Your story was so real to me. I wish you could produce movies as well as write.

Aiysha. This Sista' was something else. But I could relate to some of her issues. Sista' gurl has been traumatized and it all went back to that first doctors visit she had. I shed a tear for her because there are so many "Aiysha's" today. What happened to Aiysha set the tone for how she would relate to men later on in life. Sometimes I would get a little agitated by her nasty mouth, but if she had said anything else, there would have been a character-personality conflict.

Question: Why did she have those fainting problems again and when exactly did they stop?  Also, what did Shango mean when he told Aiysha that he wanted her to have  Omosupe?? He wasn't talking about no lesbo stuff was he?

GERTRUDE - she was one sick woman but I even understood why she became so twisted...having sex with her mother and father? Now that is some sick sh*t! But ya' know what?? That stuff happens for real!

Sista Haiti, I would love to met her and visit the village. Does there exist anything like it Africa? I know you probably think I am taking the story to far, but it had such a realistic touch to it. <<< Text Cut >>> I am definitly intrested in reading more of your work.

As far as the Legacy of Maat. I have to re-read that again because I was not crazy about their being no belief in a supreme being. Over all I want to say that your book was one of the best books I have ever read in my life. It touched so many emotions inside of me. You were right when you said we would cry and die with the character and even feel some good
thangz too...:o)

That's my piece on it for now.
