Bring Writers & Readers Together
Throughout his engineering pursuits and business activities, Gene continued to write and dream of being a published and a fulltime author. In 1996, that dream was realized. Gene has written 7 novels ( four published) and several screenplays. For two years, his book tour for 'I Never Played Catch With My Father,' took him from coast to coast:
He has appeared on numerous television and radio programs, including Oprah, NPR stations and countless tv morning shows, news and sports shows. He has been the subject of numerous newspaper and magazine articles. Gene was the featured author in Ebony Magazine in the November '97 issue.

Super-Rich, Famous, Married Men and Their Lovers Murdered In The Act.
Reality? Not yet. And, fortunately, this is not about the unfortunate Tiger Woods scandal, exactly. The Widowmaker, a recently published 384 page novel, by author Gene Cartwright, writing as ‘Michael Manstar’ is ahead of its time. But as today’s headlines show, time may be catching up.

Ebay for Books?
Where are your books available for purchase? Amazon? That's great but are you lost among the hundreds of millions of books there? And, Amazon takes such a large chunk of your book sales. Fine, if you do not have a way of selling on your site, and fulfilling your own orders.
What about your own web site?
Do you have a great web site?
How many people know where you are?
Is your site SEO (search engine optimized?)

Because Sophia has made false claims! She said she won the case and that turned out to be a flat out lie! Why on earth would be you surprised she is now being scrutinized after misleading many?
you believe it because they say so? LOL! Name me ONE TIME where Sophia ever produced a court document about her case.
Well, that's what THEY are telling us, so we must BELIEVE it! We know this is the whole story, because THEY told us so, why would THEY lie? All of the information received on this case are from 100% accurate, objective and reliable sources, our very…
And you wonder why people view you guys as a fringe nutcase bunch? Sophia was going around purposely MISLEADING people into thinking she "won" the case. There are followers of this woman all over the net, fighting tooth and nail she ACTUALLY won the…

As a journalist, I have been taught to question everything! And it puzzles me as to why African Americans are so quick to question Stewart but not her accusers! So I ask you, how do you know this information is false? Don't respond with a reference…
So then how can you give it a not OK?
