Sometime in Between Nine, and Now
~ Fran Briggs
Remember when you were really young? It was an era of inconsequential innocence, and very little experience. Still, even at this age, your imagination was larger than large.

Tony Brooks - On The Move!
~ Fran Briggs
"Diaries of Black Men" chronicles the observations, reflections, and life experiences of 10 Black Men. Shared are their most innermost thoughts and beliefs. "DBM" addresses the most overlooked member of any body; the heart of the Black man. Intricately written, the reader experiences -- or re-experiences -- that which has never been written before. Each page dynamically demystifies the myth that Black men have always balked at the opportunity to keep written accounts of their lives.

Why Not Reinvent the Wheel?
~ Fran Briggs
"Why go and reinvent the wheel?" It's a question that's been around for centuries; right? Here's a better question: Why not reinvent the wheel?
