FORMER BAD BOY TURNED GOOD REVEALS ALL IN NEW AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOVEL... How one man went from struggling with his Christianity and choice to become a stripper and gigolo to becoming an author, motivational speaker, parental rights activist and musician. It's a lifestyle we only read about in the glossies but few of us ever experience; big money, beautiful people, drugs, private jets, high-class gigolos. Not too long ago this was T.D. Faison's life. Faison, a veritable new form of the hip Renaissance man, who is not yet 30, and author of the semi-autobiographical series, The McNeil Chronicles, is a former gigolo to the wealthy and famous who has turned his life into an open book literally. Consider the irony of this movie-star handsome man: He was supporting himself and three children by stripping and fighting in court for his parental rights for his only daughter. Then, he decided to turn his life around and share his tumultuous story with the public through a captivating and unique series of books, each of which is accompanied by a new music CD that Faison writes and performs. The sequel to All the things she told me, his newest book, Some Things Better Left Unsaid reveals the return of Faison's much loved character, Christopher McNeil. With a storyline, which correlates to Faison in many ways, he provides insights into both a wild lifestyle and the profound human struggle to find meaning in life and contentment. What is unique about my story? Faison explains,is that I am challenging the stereotype. Where most of the stories we hear about today are women doing anything to support their children and fighting for custody from deadbeat dads, that is my reality. I was struggling to support my children by any means I knew how, while trying to fight within the system for my rights to be a father and have partial custody. Aside from the wild stuff and taboo elements, people are also interested because my experiences as a man fighting for parental rights are unfortunately all too common. With the publication of each book by Karen Hunter Publishing. Faison is frequently known for spicing up the club circuit performing his one-man show. He travels around the country conducting sex and relationship seminars, stopping at many universities along the way where he also teaches students how to communicate and understand the opposite sex, while still understanding themselves. He also teaches students safe sex practices to protect themselves and their partners. I hope I'm able to reach people before they make the same mistakes I did. Faison adds. For awhile, I led an exciting life, but it was also a lonely one. I found out the hard way there is more to life than money, sex and drugs and luckily I turned my life around before it was too late and I hope to do the same for other people. Faison currently is putting finishing touches on a new novel due out in 2008 with famed author Karen Hunter through Karen Hunter Publishing. Also working with Film Producer Harvey Rochman in turning his popular series into films... Faison just wrapped on Documentary Film shot on location in Atlanta...Faison also is working with Super Star Milani Rose on her literay debut... T.D. Faison was born in Wilmington NC. Faison currently lives in New York.

My BlackInAmerica.com Profile
Why Are You Concerned About Black America:
I'm concerned about the re-shaping of Black America in the eyes of our people as well as the on lookers of society. No longer being held in bondage with the stereotypes we've been branded with and forced to believe; or be ashamed of. My mission is to build back the Black family and to nurture it's true potential, along side that of white America. Also I'm a Father's Rights Activist and believe that men should have equal rights to their children black and white. I feel the Black man has been ripped from our families and my goal is to open the door and clear the way of legal and bureaucratic BS. So they can come back home and to the place where they belong in helping to shape our future generations and give them a legacy and something to be proud of.
