His civil liberties were stripped away from him. A recent crisis, Hurricane Harvey, civil liberties were violated against people.

    The first inkling for The Red Storm came during a history class I was taking in college. The class was covering African American history. At that time, I was also in the process of getting my private investigation license, so the two aspects kind of merged into the rough outline of my story. I choose New Orleans because of the cities’ rich history and more lax regulation of Jim Crow Laws which would have made it possible for a black private detective to somewhat be able to do his job in such a difficult period of time. The boxing history was something I intended to always be interwoven into the main character.…
