About the Book

Being who you are is one of the most difficult things to do in life. It isn't easier for Maverick Williams, who's life comes to a grinding conflict when he gets tired of all the people who seem to revolve like a door in and out of his life. His thoughts are constantly bombarded about his strained relationship with his mother, being molested as a child, being overweight, being a social pariah, personal relationships gone bad, being a Black man in America and coming to grips with his own sexuality. On Maverick's pursuit of deining self, and dealing with daily drama, just as everyone else he is trying to figure out what matters the most.

About the Author

Trent Jackson is a victorious fighter who has used the many Obstacles thrown into his young life as avenues for creative expression. He has transformed himself from what could have been a sad and desperate individual into a talented and inspirational figure whose life has really just begun.

Educated at both the prestigious Southern University in Louisiana, and currently at California State University, Long Beach. Jackson evolved his instinctive interest in observational storytelling while actively pursuing a career in broadcast and print journalism. His sensitivity and colorful personality can easily be seen in his work.

"I see myself being the vessel that makes people think about their day to day actions," explained Jackson about his talent. "By using my life experiences and creating characters that we interact with everyday is what makes my writing so different, so real and conversational."

It's personal experiences that have led Trent to complete At This Moment (Intricate Publications). In the book, he tackles issues such as homosexuality, sexual abuse, dysfunctional family life, being overweight, and self-love. Instead of letting life circumstances define whom he is, Jackson uses his experiences to not only help heal himself, but to also provide a platform for others who may relate to him.

Jackson currently lives in Los Angeles and is working on other literary works such as Full Circle (tentatively scheduled for a winter 2005 release), The Strong & Weak, and several plays.
