Synopsis

“The act of writing requires a constant plunging back into the shadow of the past where time hovers ghostlike.”~Ralph Ellison In Note to Self, Devlon continues his process of self-actualization through narrative nonfiction, and lays himself bare by publishing some of his personal journal entries. With a relentless self-awareness, Devlon taunts those 'shadows of the past' by wrestling with current applications of lessons learned. Staying true to the storytelling tradition, this work is a deeper still foray into a life of measured progression.

About this title

About the Author

“Writing saved my life,” are words often spoken by husband, father and native Baltimorean, Devlon E Waddell. There’s no doubt that whenever Devlon speaks about the power of the written word and his passion for it, he’s being disarmingly honest. There is a humility in his words that is all at once refreshing, persuasive and determined. As described by ‘The Indie Bookman’ Brad Grochowski, “...his book, Syrup Sandwich, is an exploration of an urban black man frustrated by his efforts to rectify his deep intelligence with the stereotypes laid upon him as he struggles to overcome his own preconceived notions of race, age and class.” What began as a desire to show his daughters that anything is possible has become a clearly purposed vision for Devlon E Waddell–tempered with humility and accompanied by honesty.
