About this ebook
A tale of embracing one's true self after a mind-boggling revelation.
W O K E starts with a bang, a chorus to a concept whose time has come, and ramps up into a mind-blowing adventure no reader will ever erase from their memory. Woke is the cream of the crop, a masterpiece, no two ways about it — a triumph, gleaming with the wonky essence of our topsy-turvy era, and both a tale for our time and an epic for all times.
Woke is a knight in shining armor, battling the forces of oppression. It sets its sights on leveling the playing field by enlightening individuals on the detrimental effects of the oppression industry and the self-inflicted harm that follows suit. Woke is like a beacon of light, illuminating the path towards a brighter world. It's about embracing the profound understanding of our duty to uplift society.
The author has brought our current age to life, down to the last nitty-gritty: The authoritarians, the corruption, the oppression industrial complex, and President Obama welcoming one of these autocrats to the White House. In the tapestry of this vividly painted world, where the scars of oppression and the ebb and flow of everyday existence converge.
The maestro of tales effortlessly lures the reader into the entangled existence of his protagonists' once-in-a lifetime meeting with a wandering sage who sets them on the road to Woke.

I didn't always work as a full-time writer. I traveled the world as a semi-US diplomat for more than two decades, allowing me him to collect experiences and stories to write about when I no longer wore scratchy suits and blue-colored ties and sat down at a keyboard. I connected with the African narrative, and of all the stories I heard around the world, the ones about European colonialism and what it wrought in Africa captivated me the most. So I gathered stories about the arrival of Europeans, their outlook, policies, and attitudes before and after European women arrived on the continent, and the impact everything European had on the African people. After the Soviet Union fell apart, I worked at our embassy in Bucharest, Romania. One of my responsibilities was to obtain Holocaust-related documents from the Ministry of the Interior and the State Security for the Holocaust Museum in Washington. I once came across a letter to the State Security from wartime president/dictator Marshal Ion Antonescu about a farmer named David. A paper clip was used to secure David's picture to the letter. He was a poor farmer dressed in rags. Why would Romania's dictator write to inquire about a single farmer's transportation status? What I write is heavily influenced by those files from the Romanian Ministry of the Interior's archives.
