Michael Clayton
Michael Clayton was born in Redwood City, California, raised in New Orleans, Louisiana from age six, attended USC (Trojans) and UNLV (Runnin' Rebels), was a national-class track athlete, and claims his weirdest experience was being on a plane hijacked to Cuba. Michael is formerly married to NASA Astronaut Yvonne Cagle, is an extensively published journalist, and currently resides on his farm in Louisiana. He has interviewed everyone from Johnnie Cochran, Whoopi Goldberg, Brian McKnight, Terry Macmillan, Henry Kissinger, Quincy Jones, Maya Angelou, and Nikki Giovanni right on down to Eric Benet, Tevin Campbell, Tracie Spencer, Coolio, Boris Kudjoe and, on a lark, racist David Duke, amongst many others. Also, Clayton is a recipient of The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival Foundation art grant for literature.

The Captain & The Rebel
She was establishment, he was an iconoclast. She was commissioned, he was enlisted. Yvonne followed the rules, Michael broke them. The Captain & The Rebel is a true story about NASA astronaut Yvonne Cagle's and writer Michael Clayton's rocky, stormy engagement, marriage, and divorce. A male "The Color Purple" in Clayton's words.

A TIME OF NO FENCES
A Time Of No Fences is the story of a mother fiercely determined to save her son from crack addiction by any means necessary. While at the same time, the next door neighbors are literally blowing the roof off the sucker with their all-night crack parties. The chapters go back and forth, moral and amoral, alternating between redemption and destruction. Will Nikki win out over crack? Can she turn her teenage son's life around, or will she forever lose Travis to the mean streets?

GOOD LOOKIN OUT
Childhood friends Khalil, a successful rapper, and Justin (J.D.), recently released from prison, are confronted by circumstances that test the mettle of the sworn-in-blood lifelong bond they declared to each other. The unshakable camaraderie they shared as youngsters growing up in New Orleans is tried by fire when Big Joe, a nemesis from their past, puts Khalil's and Justin's "I-got-your-back-for-the-rest-of-my-life" mutual declaration to the test.

TASTE MICHAEL...
As you turn page after page, take in poem after poem in "Taste Michael...", it will become plainly obvious that you've struck a salt-of-the-earth vein. Like Barry Manilow (Yes! Barry Manilow!) sang, "You wouldn't believe where I've been, the cities and towns I've been in, it's a miracle, a true blue spectacle," well, the resident poetry in "Taste Michael" should bare testament to the poet's true blue spectacle. And so, may the Second Renaissance begin (vain, isn't it?) Shakespeare's turning in the ground!
