5 years ago, BroadwayWorld posted in their site a review about my book which was published that same month of the year. Like they said, my book is a compelling novel that you will surely enjoy.
Hola Everyone! I am tying up this article from the LA Times regarding those super-rich people wanting to buy more luxury yachts to a scene from this novel “Words Unspoken, Things Unseen” and the main reason why i have this blog for all of you to enjoy. Please make sure to get a copy of my novel from the link available here in my blog. The story is linked to the scene wherein Molca( the Boxer) is meeting a prostitute…..
By SANDY BANKSCOLUMNIST OCT. 10, 2019 5 AM When Pilar Schiavo got word that a homeless housing project might be going up near her daughter’s school, Chatsworth Park Elementary, she went on the parents’ Facebook page “to ask some questions and get the facts.” Four hours later, Schiavo logged off — still short on facts, and chastened by an online juggernaut of parents rallying to block the project. Later that week, a protest over what would be the northwest Valley’s only homeless housing…..
By NITA LELYVELDCITY BEAT COLUMNIST OCT. 12, 2019 5 AM The other evening, I visited Eddy, a new co-living complex in Hollywood. Tucked away on a residential block that used to be all bungalows, it has the styling of a hip boutique hotel. People carry branded metal water bottles that say “Live. Dream. Connect.” The gym has a Peloton bike. Butterfly chairs encircle the backyard fire pit. In the co-working space, from a vending machine, you can grab a grain bowl or overnight oats……
Tent encampments across California are testing residents’ tolerance and compassion as street conditions deteriorate. By Thomas Fuller, Tim Arango and Louis Keene OAKLAND, Calif. — Insults like “financial parasites” and “bums” have been directed at them, not to mention rocks and pepper spray. Fences, potted plants and other barriers have been erected to keep them off sidewalks. Citizen patrols have been organized, vigilante style, to walk the streets and push them out. California may pride itself on its commitment to tolerance and liberal values,…..
By JULIA WICK STAFF WRITER SEP. 27, 2019 BAKERSFIELD — In the face of an ever-growing homelessness crisis, cities across California have been searching for solutions, from adding shelters and affordable housing to improving mental health and substance abuse services.But in Bakersfield, officials are considering a more radical approach: They want to put homeless people in jail for misdemeanor drug offenses and potentially for trespassing.The tactic would fly in the face of criminal justice reform over the last decade in California,…..
“Do something; do something” the shelter’s amateur boxing team chants from the back of the chapel. Doc Manny is the youngsters’ coach. In tough neighborhoods downtown, a gym changes lives. At the moment, the youngsters are imploring their elders to throw a punch in their own defense. In one week, the President of the United States visited San Diego and accused homeless shelters of causing homelessness. Days later, the sheriff of Bakersfield up north ducked questions about jailing displaced people…..
Dear President Trump, Homeless shelters do not cause homelessness. Don’t tear them down! Poor paying jobs, the high cost of living, and the punishing cost of a home do drive people onto the streets. Get sick and wind up living in your car. Houses in San Diego regularly cost half a million dollars. Rent a one-bedroom flat for $1200 a month. Earning thirty dollars an hour buys a tent. Here’s a different remedy, Mr. President, Rescind your tax breaks for…..
A White House council report blamed California’s homeless problem on housing regulation and tolerant police practices By GARY WARTHSEP. 17, 2019 7:13 PM A White House report on homelessness says San Diego’s homeless population could drop 38 percent by cutting housing regulations and suggests that shelters are responsible for increasing rather than reducing homelessness. The State of Homelessness in America by the Council of Economic Advisers was released Monday night and stresses housing costs and “decades of misguided and faulty policies” as major contributors…..
BY DAVID GEE SEPTEMBER 11, 2019 Twelve church leaders were charged with a massive labor trafficking scheme that involved forcing homeless people to panhandle as a way of raising money for the church. Turns out the pastors at Imperial Valley Ministries, a non-denominational church in El Centro, California, held homeless people as slaves, threatening to take away their kids if they didn’t cooperate. We know all this because of an indictment from August against IVM’s pastors, including Pastor Victor Gonzalez, which was just unsealed yesterday. …..
9 Sep 2019 -John Lockett A WORRIED medic has warned a leprosy outbreak could spread like a plague among hundreds of thousands of homeless people in the US. Dr Marc Siegel, of New York University, fears it is now only a “matter of time” before the horror disease strikes on America’s streets. He said a combination of poor hygiene, a lack of shelter and access to medical treatment is creating a “perfect cauldron” for the disease to thrive among the homeless. And…..
