...all The Sparks Fly Up!

"All the Sparks Fly Up " is a fictional comedy spiritual drama, centering around three African American airmen who are stationed in Vietnam during the conflict. They are placed in an untenable situation -- ostensibly fighting for the freedom of a foreign people while leaving and then hearing about the struggle of their people back home, who are fighting for their freedom during the height of the '60s Civil Rights revolution. This is not a war story, but a story that exposes the lies and tactics of our real and invisible enemy, an enemy that divides us all -- black, white, brown and yellow -- through the temptations of selfishness and greed as it rages for the souls of mankind against the powers of light. From their outward appearance, the three appear to be very different from each other, but unbeknownst to them, they are three pieces of a puzzle that will finally come together. Although this is a fictional story, many events are real occurrences based on the author's life experiences, so the language is real, the humor is crass, but slowly the story evolves to a higher plane as did many of our lives.
