Synopsis

Don't Judge a Book by Its CoverBaltimore author pens an intriguing messageSuccinctly put, it's a book about choices and how the wrong ones can impact your life. "I strive to write inspirational stories and stories that generate an awareness of very real and very critical issues," said Fisher. Captivating is probably the best word to describe Fisher. The married father comes across as an intellectual. Fisher has even established his own scholarship to help youth further their education.He is also one heck of a marketer. Fisher said he has sent out thousands of emails to media outlets, entertainers, and anyone he thinks would have even a remote interest in what he has to say. In fact, he has no difficulty contacting a local daily newspaper and giving them a piece of his mind when they delayed publishing his interview. He says most media will always gravitate toward the negative as opposed to rushing to highlight a young man with a positive message.Having Lance Warlock of Halloween II fame write the foreword to I Ain't Bitin My Tongue and Maryland governor Martin O'Malley potentially pegged for his second, yet untitled book, should be an indication of Fisher's ambition and potential.Snuggled alongside some of the book industry's racier titles and eye catching graphics, the self-published I Ain't Bitin My Tongue could be somewhat overlooked. However, the book is a diamond in the rough. Speaking to its comparison to the ever popular Urban Lit, Fisher says the later doesn't offer any real nourishment and is heavily packaged."A lot of these graphic covers, they garage information that is completely useless and full of filth," Fisher says.But speaking about his own book he takes a different view. "It's not the cover of the book, it's what's inside."¿http://wjz.com/video/?id=23825@wjz.dayport.com

About this title

About the Author

Valdez V. Fisher, Jr., was born August 20, 1974, in Baltimore City, Maryland. From a small child, his love for written word was illustrated, as he often chose the writing of repetitive sentences as punishment for misbehavior. Unbeknownst to his mother, Rosalind, this was actually no punishment at all. Beginning at age five, Valdez has written hundreds of poems, letters, and essays, generally geared to uplift, or promote self-esteem. Aside from writing, he has a deep passion for children and the elderly. Through writing and public speaking, he graced the front pages of The Woodlawn Villager, a Baltimore County based publication, and the Baltimore City based Afro-American Newspaper, in 1994. Later that same year, he was interviewed on Baltimore's "Heaven 600" radio station, (a Radio One Broadcast); and, received exclusive coverage on the "Coffee With" segment of Maryland's most watched and beloved morning news broadcast, WJZ-TV 13, hosted by Marty Bass and Don Scott. In 1999, endeavoring to share his talent on a far larger scale, Valdez subscribed to America Online (AOL), and created the immortal screen-name, Amanofkindwords. He touched the hearts of thousands of Internet subscribers, who emailed him letters of praise and motivation, after reading his masterful homepage, bursting with inspirational poetry, and stories of triumph. His legendary writing style delivers a powerful punch, in easy to comprehend, layman's terms.
