My next book project - life lessons for young men, and a tool for the single mothers raising them.

I'm proud to announce my next writing project, a book of life advice and streetwise wisdom for young men, and a tool for the single mothers who are raising them. It will serve as a helpful resource for the 12 million single mothers in the U.S., so they can raise happy, healthy, and successful young gentlemen. This book should be read by both teenaged sons and their single mothers, and used as a tool to promote family discussion, enhanced relationships, and fatherly advice.  

I was raised by a single mother and she did a great job (I always say that she's the reason I'm not dead or in jail!), but still, I had to make a lot of mistakes and become a man on my own.  There are just some things that boys need from male role models who give them tough love, and this book will help.  The focus is on helping single mothers with teenaged sons, but the information will help teenage daughters, kids all the way from middle school to college (there will be different sections that are age-appropriate) and even mothers who are not single.   

Since this is a book FOR you, I'd love your feedback about the issues, challenges, and problems you have as a single mother raising sons, and also your hopes and goals for their lives.  

To participate, please email me so I can ask you a few questions,

Thank you for spreading the word about this important project!
