SO today E Lynn Harris an author who I have met personally and whose many books have touched my life and actually ehlped me deal with my sexuality died. He was only 54 years old. Aie Mon Dieu so many folkz leaving this world this summer what is the issue? Shessh!? At any rate I read his second book Just As I am, happened to pick it up at Barnes and Nobles when I was 18 believe it or not by a fluke! It ws then I undrstood that there was a world out there that looked like and me and loved like me. That I could maybe belong too. Years have passed since then and he of course wrote and published many more books and stories as well. However I can't simply believe he is gone. I Am thankful that I was able to read his work and thankful for the wonderful impression Mr. Harris left on me all those years ago back in Portland, OR. It was the first time I think I ever kinda gushed over a celeb, but not the last. Sic Maurice Jamal. But yeah... It is a tragedy and one I take note of here today.
