One Safe Place (46 page)
Authors: Alvin L. A. Horn
“Okay, Mr. New South, I'm sure the club is a safe zone, but I bet you still can't walk the back streets with a big booty Blonde Peach.”
“Yeah, well, toast to the booty, my man! At least, I pick the ones with a sista booty. You ever watch a blondie with a big booty dance? That's some sweet funky stuff. Ahhhh, I like that shit.”
“You freak! Is it all about the tail end?”
“I like me some thighs and booty.”
“Okay, Dr. Booty Freak, you're a trip!”
Sterlin's next comment stopped Ayman dead in his tracks from laughing. “It's all about the booty, so I don't end up like youâsad, blue, and alone!” Sterlin tilted his head to the side and lifted his eyebrows up.

He states:
I credit my mother for sending me to the library when she placed me on restriction, often for daydreaming in school. Pages of autobiographies and biographies of other people's lives became daydreams and made my imagination run wild. Upon hearing and reading the work of Nikki Giovanni, I knew I wanted to be a writer of love poems and stories. “Some of my erotic writing imagination came from my dad leaving men's magazines in a not-so-secret place. My friends peeked at the pictures, but I read the stories, most of the time⦔ I laugh.
Born in 1957 and growing up in the “Liberal on the surface” Seattle lifestyle, the Northwest flavors flow through my writing as I have lived on a houseboat with perfect views for writing inspiration for most of my current writing life.
I'm inspired to write and recite the heartfelt honest emotions that I have felt or someone may have shared with me at some time in my life. I try to speak for those who would write or say how they feel. I want to remind people of lost thoughts, hidden feelings and create new contemplations and desires whether it be about love, money, social issues, family issues, passions and sex. I want people to feel worthy, beautiful, sexy,
and informed. I want to write and speak in ways, as Miles Davis said, “It's not how many notes you play; it's when you play them.” I feel I bring a different perspective to my writing in that I have lived and traveled the world for over a half a century and seen fads, fashions, music and politics change and how we communicate.
