Preeeeesenting...Fruit Gang: Characters that Have a Positive Impact on the Lives of Children
Cynthia James
Paperback (Dorrance Publishing Co, Sept. 11, 2009)Cynthia began writing plays for her 6' 1'' characters in 1998. She has since written over ten plays. Her first live play was produced in Jackson, Mississippi in 1999 at the Jackson State University Auditorium. In 1997 Cynthia was prophetically given songs to write and she was encouraged to ''keep writing whatever God was speaking.'' Her musical gift was developed from childhood, as she often heard lyrics and instrumental sounds in her sleep. Cynthia was guided to talented musicians who assisted her in creating songs. Her first CD, ''Join the Friendly Gang'' (ASCAP), was released in 2006. Cynthia's vision is to direct a Live Production tour, called Gang Talk which is designed to bring a future of hope to our children. She currently resides in a suburb of Chicago with her ''mother'' Lee Ella.
