MY FIRST TIME GOING OUT WITH FRIENDS. MY FIRST TIME WEARING A LUCKY JACKET. I NEED IT BACK!

"Monday morning. I wake up from my nap and look at time in the CAR- 2:30 a.m." - Black Suede Jacket.

It seems everything that belongs to unassuming young man Francisco was a gift to him: His Toyota Corolla, green dress shirt, even the camera-phone. 

Tonight he's wearing the new black jacket his mom gave him. Eventually, his friend will ask him for it. What is Frank prepared to do?

He was inspired to write short stories and poetry about his own life while taking Creative Writing Workshop. His poems dealt with bad memories of having to re-learn stuff after suffering a trauma at 4 ½. While finishing Black Suede Jacket, he thought of another story, Two Drinks At A Night’s Waltz. He self-published both stories in 2013 on Draft2digital. BSJ has been translated to Spanish, Italian, French, CantoneseThe following year, he translated his first story to Spanish in order to reach a wider audience.
