- About Me:
- My name is Charles L. Chatmon, a poet and author of two books, The Depths of My Soul and The Voices of South Central. As a freelance writer, I’ve contributed to local college and community newspapers in addition to a few start up magazines. Currently I serve as executive director of the Los Angeles Black Book Expo. I’m also a co-host on an internet show called Mixed Matters at the North Bay Media Review website. I'm quiet most of the time but once you get to know me, you'll find I have a lot to offer in a conversation, no matter the subject. I love to write, read and enjoy the simple things in life. Thanks to my friends who've supported me thus far. 2007 was a great year but I plan to kick it up a notch for 2008. Take care.
