Yoyo! Town Delinquents

About the Book

Cambelle Jones and Daniel Demark are two teenagers who are trying to use their ghetto-style entrepreneurial skills to get ahead in life, and they are always getting into trouble and out again just by their clever and sometimes ridiculous acts of wit, charm, and humour, which often finds them in uncompromising situations—that is, until one day, when they find themselves in the middle of Norwich, far, far away from their South London habitat. As the story unfolds, Daniel and Cambelle meet a girl, Bethany Yates, who invites them to a rave her ex-boyfriend Matthew Faversham is organizing, where it is suggested that they can make a lot of money with her help. But as the plot thickens, Daniel and Cambelle realize that they are totally out of place in this rural countryside community. Daniel takes a liking to Bethany and wants to maintain all links with her, but in truth, she is more interested in Cambelle. So in the process, she invites them up to Norwich to further their drug-dealing links with her circle of friends and ex-boyfriend. The story opens up when both Daniel and Cambelle meet Bethany’s father, Ethan Yates, which leads us to deal with the questions of race and class as both sides compete for intellectual superiority. And although Daniel and Cambelle, as the true underdogs, are outclassed, their characters still shine through. Their challenges of misfortune are also brought to another level as Bethany’s ex-boyfriend also gets into a personal feud with Cambelle and Daniel.

About the Author

As a writer and a poet and as an artist and performer, I have always felt the need to convey my thoughts through the artistic expression of words and music and even through the unspoken medium of movement and motion, as much as it is up to the creativity of a writer, which is for me to capture or to record these moments as they unfold and take shape revealing their naked truths in the purest of forms of their suggestions and clues toward a revelation unknowingly becoming attuned and responsive to the reciprocal mind. As I have come to learn and engage in the process of the languages and the words, also each independently has its own hidden inner depth when spoken, or as when heard or as when read, as each processed word proceeds one after the other, building a foundation and creating layer upon layer until its volume is felt. Whether I choose to promote this idea upon a line of questioning or examining or analyzing, a stand of truth by capturing a piece of reality or whether I am entranced by the enchantment of something more sublime like a mystery or a fantasy is even somewhat inspirational to me as to how my thoughts of expression and energy are channeled through such a medium and a basic quality in challenging my ability to write paragraph after paragraph and page after page until, ordinarily, the mundane of perfection of the subjective object is met and begins to excite me. As writing is also very much an internal journey toward understanding the inner self and examination of the reflective world that surrounds us all insomuch that we are constantly redefining and readjusting to all that is apparently so and open to see. But as to whether we can learn to accept through interpretation of all that is extended before us, it is also to glance in a mirror and to attempt to recognize if all is as it appears to be.
