I am a novelist, columnist, motivational speaker and spoken word artist whose fifth novel, Payback, will hit stores in March 2009. It follows a significant line of critically acclaimed work. My first novel, Pipe Dream, was published by Random House. My other novels, The Bridge, Ride Or Die, and C.R.E.A.M., were published by St. Martin's Press. My humor collection, Keeping Up With the Jones, was published by Sola Productions. I also write a humor column in the Philadelphia Daily News, and my work has been published in Newsday, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and Philadelphia magazine. I have a B.A. in journalism from Temple University and teach Creative Writing at my alma mater. And there's a surprise right around the corner for all the fans of my humor writing ... Stay tuned!

Who I'd like to meet:

God, my grandfather Solomon who died before I was born, Muhammad Ali
