What's up Mike. My name is Mike Bailey and I'm an author. I've written a novel about the world of professional basketball. The title is Original Mind Disconnect. The protagonist is Jericho Streeter, who is a very successful sports agent who reps pro ballers. He has it all: The million dollar home in the Hollywood Hills, money, the beautiful girlfriend, etc. Life is good. That is, until one day he is visited by the ghost of an old woman who later reveals herself to be Sudie, Jericho's third great-grandmother. She shows up because she wants him to join the fight for reparations. Jericho, who has the gift for communicating with spirits, is resistant. He believes that the U.S. government will never do right by black people and we should build our own wealth. They go back and forth with Sudie being just as stubborn as her descendant. So...with her own gift she takes Jericho back in time to the days of slavery to witness firsthand the horrors of that time. This shakes Jericho to his core, but he won't budge. This creates a lot of tension in his already stressful life, while also battling with Zack Mandel, a rival agent. The two of them have fought through the years, but now the stakes are even higher when Zack comes into some info that could jeopardize everything Jericho has worked for. One of Jericho's clients, Coltrane Bishop is on the verge of signing a major endorsement deal with a mega corporation when Sudie tells Jericho that this company has its roots in slavery. From there it's a wild ride. It's a satire about ambition, competition and the male ego as two alpha males battle it out. My novel can be bought on Amazon for under $10 or if you're interested I can send you a copy. My email address is mrb19622002@yahoo.com. Appreciate you.
