Question:  Was this book published by a publisher; or did you self-publish?

It was self published.

Question:  Tell our readers about this very first book.  (For example:  What was the inspiration for writing it, and what was it about)?

What made me write the book was I was very close to the parties involved and felt the story should be told.

It's a 2-sport phenomenon who has an accident prior to the draft and how his life goes 180 degree from bright lights of professional sports to living in the inner city and unknowingly is at the heart of a plot that involves set ups, drugs, money, power, revenge, and murder; all lives involved become irreparably changed because of the "Death of a Thug".
