About the Author

Jkm is not a professional writer, and he does not want to be. History of Creation: The Announcement is his first book, and there may not be a second.

He has a master’s degree, but it is in finance. He is more of a numbers person than a words person. During his years in Corporate Canada, he carried a small dictionary so he could check the spelling of words, while at the same time committing to memory formulas for calculations such as Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return, etc. He chose to respond to the pull to write History of Creation: The Announcement, because it simply would not leave him alone. His tory of Creation: The Announcement begs for a follow-up book to move the story forward, but jkm is reluctant to commit to writing History of Creation: Part II - The Middle Part.

Jkm would prefer to spend his time doing his favourite thing, which is sitting on the beach anywhere in the Caribbean. But not only is it hard for him to ignore the call to write the story, he could also hear the old West Indian in him saying, Stop being a LAZY-A**. Writing a book, or perhaps another one or two, is definitely a part of jkm’s journey, from the marketplace to home, but to be a writer is not his destiny. I hope you will enjoy reading History of Creation: The Announcement. It may or may not be followed by the middle part.

About History of Creation

Hu did something unthinkable and it started the name-calling.

Suddenly, for one Glorified, having everything he needed could not compensate for the one thing he wanted. History of Creation–African/Black literary fiction–is the story of the seven Glorified who lived a contented existence until Hu invented the drum.

In a world without hierarchy, Seh wanted to be above all others and to lead the others into a new way of being. He was certain his path was the right way, except his path led away from the purpose of their being and violated a truth of creation.

Seh did not share his desire with the others and as he joined Hu journeying through the Realm, he conspired to deceive, to bring chaos where there was order, and to place himself above all others.

What Readers are Saying

  • This is an excellent story. I like the voice that the story is written in. There is something old about this story and yet very new. There are cultural references in this story that will be missed by people did not grow up in the Black world. I bought the book because I saw an ad that said Garvey would have approved of the piece of literature. After reading the book, I think I would agree.

  • I love the circular fashion in which this story is told. It is one of those fulfilling stories that you can’t stop reading after you start and then you are thinking about it when you are finished.
