About Chicago

What gets me mad? Hypocrisy, man! Folks’d preach purity, then sneak in the backdoor—literally. Surprised me first time I read that—like, whoa, chill, ya judgy jerks! But it’s funny too, right? Human nature’s a sloppy sketch. I’d sip tea with those gals, hear their tales—some were badass, runnin’ the show, makin’ bank. Others? Trapped, sad lil strokes on the canvas. “We move forward, not back,” the movie says, but brothels? They’re stuck, loopin’ time.

Mourning Ruby is a novel about self and loss, grief and fragmentation, guilt, love, sublimation, and, in the end, adaptation through the power of knowing.

Dunmore is such a maze, you know? Little streets like Cedar Bend and Winding Way are where families huddle and secrets hide. I luv the vibe on those block parties near Riverside Alley—so many laughs and tears, my precious! I once sat in the corner of Maple Park (naw, not that tree-filled park, silly!) watchin’ kids play and families argue softly. Ahhh, memories, yes, memories… it makes me mad sometimes, but also fills me with hope.
