The Blood Garden series was a concept I created to explain what may have happened to the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden, and Echoes of Silence is a story, a story where a man can see past the veil and directly into the garden, the darkness that now resides there since the fall of mankind, and his personal inner demons that haunt him and about how he then deals with what he saw when he glimpsed into the garden. He must explore and deal with his reality.
These stories depict true occurrences reflecting how teenagers dealt with the changes arising during these crucial times in our nation's history. A new world was arising and we had a front-row seat to political changes as well as racial and gender issues. As we traversed these issues of family, culture, and racism, we were bolstered by such things as music and art as well as religion and trying desperately to hold on to our traditional values. We clung to one another and our families as we made our way in an ever-changing landscape; and we progressed, we innovated, we adapted, and succeeded in becoming part of the mosaic that became New York City.

When he overhears the sparrows the miners keep to detect deadly gasses in the mine talking about escape, he decides to help them.

They go through a few adventures, good and bad, but with the help of some animal friends and a Native American boy, they get where they are going. What will they find when they get there?

Half-breed? Mixed race? What do you call the product of an interracial marriage? And how do you relate?Half-n-Half is a very honest account of the daily struggles faced by such individuals, and it will act as an alarm clock, waking people up to the ethnic diversity of this country and the problems that come with it.Eric M. Smith knows firsthand what life is like for the children of interracial marriages. After all, he lived it.Picture in your mind living on the ninth floor of one of the country's most dangerous housing (Cabrini-Green homes). This was the early setting for Eric Smith and his family.Shootings, drug deals, family fights, police sirens, constant commotion...No, not TV or some modern-day cable program on violence. These were the day-to-day occurrences which were no farther than the floor Eric lived on and definitely not any farther than his own courtyard.And the names flew too: half-breed, high yellow, red bone, yellow nigga, good hair, straight hair, German nigga kids.These are some of the names Eric heard on a daily basis. Those were hood names (White people were a little more subdued, referring to them as "mixed kids" or mulattos).As you read Eric's story, you will understand the subject of interracial marriage from a whole new perspective, and you will be better prepared to respond to one of the twentieth century's most significant yet unresolved issues.Now that we are in the twenty-first century, are we any closer to accepting people for who they are before looking at their skin color?
