One-of-a-Kind Artist
“I first came across this unique artist when an email showed up from a book promotion site offering some kind of deal on one of his books. Armstrong Dent and the Whatever Blah Blah. I ended up clicking on it, adding some more pointless content to my Kindle I’d never get around to reading. But, this time I was sitting on a shuttle bus, to pick up my car from long-term parking at Reagan International, and for whatever reason I tapped the cover. Within seconds I was an Armstrong Dent fan. I finished the entire story in the fifteen-twenty minutes I waited for the silent electric vehicle to make its way to my far flung lot. Before I even reached my car I had downloaded the entire series.
Researching the author, Aeyess, I came across the soundtrack album he recorded. Honestly, I didn’t expect much. Another wannabe millennial slash-slash trying to do everything. But, I swear, the record was awesome. It was like some hybrid of styles, not really sure how to classify it other than to say it’s been the playlist I’ve listened to more this year than anything else. I reached out to him as a fan, and a journalist, but I didn’t tell him that part. We started a back and forth and I quickly realized that he was just another guy, down to earth. He could have easily been the nobody sitting beside me on the shuttle bus. Except this guy’s messages to me, a random nobody myself, were witty and fun and clever. Just like his books and music. That shuttle ride a few weeks earlier turned me on to my new favorite slash-slash.”

“Fighting ain’t no lazy man’s game. Anybody tell you anything different is a fool or a liar. I got no room in my world for folk who can’t see a fox for a fox. And when they drop they shoulder, I go for the kill.” Meriwether Falls watched himself on the television screen and popped his knuckles. The veins in his neck bulged through his dark black skin. His bald head shined from the studio lights. Six years as the undisputed, undefeated heavyweight champion and all he could think of was the days he spent living in the back of Old Man Gravely’s garage – Sixteen-years-old and ducking the authorities because he knew he didn’t belong in a foster home. The man of the house always afraid of him and the woman – well, he wasn’t good around any woman, no matter her age, or his.
Excerpt from the short story Armstrong Dent and the Death Blow.
INVISIBLE MAN (Lyrics)
This is not the life I want to live
Every other word I ever said
Brings a blank stare to your face
I pack a bag, Put your picture inside
You don’t see me. You don’t see me
You see clear through me
And I don’t understand
You see clear through me
Like an invisible man
Man, an Invisible Man
I sneak away without saying goodbye.
You don’t notice I’m gone
I promised another try.
I roam the streets
With nowhere to go.
You don’t see me. You don’t see me.
You see clear through me
And I don’t understand
You see clear through me
Like an invisible man
Man, an Invisible Man
