I didn’t come from a place where knowledge was handed down clean. I had to dig for it, decode it, and rebuild myself piece by piece. The Lessons, the Mathematics, the Alphabet — they weren’t just teachings to me. They were survival, clarity, and transformation. I write because I know there are others who feel the same pull toward elevation. My work is for the ones breaking cycles, unlocking truth, and stepping into their own Cipher. If you’re here, you’re already on that path.
This fits the character limit and hits with impact.

The New Desperados began as a screenplay many, many years ago. 35+ years. At one point, Bill Duke, the actor/director wanted to direct it after his movie Hoodlum. That still feels surreal to write. Back then, I thought it was a crime story about two brothers from Ontario fighting back after a factory collapse.

But time changed the story.

It became less about outlaws and more about faith, God, ego, and spiritual blindness. It became about Charlie following his older brother Smiley, a funny, fearless megalomaniac, into darkness because he loved him and believed in him. And it became about Magdalena, whose faith shows Charlie the difference between revenge and grace.

It started as a movie.

It became a confession.
