Here is an excerpt from this book: Black blood. Though it may be difficult to envision it now, there was actually a time not very long ago, when Jamaicans would have done any and everything just to get out of Jamaica, it didn't matter where they were going, they just wanted out. And many did migrate and swore on their mother’s grave that they would not return for all the gold in the world… “I will not return to that godforsaken place even if they should find as much gold as there are bicycles in Beijing,” she had said. But that was then, this is now, oh how things have changed. While some of the very astute and forward thinking Jamaicans living in the diaspora was busy preaching the gospel of, the return to the land of their birth, and appealing to them to, help in the building and re-building processes which were happening then, And while the government and business leaders there on the Island was busily carving out the new paths into the future, the doubters and naysayers were busily dragging their feet or holding fast to those long-time beliefs and pledges to never go back. The government and their economic growth team made it their mission to go and build a new Jamaica. And build they did, and boy did the people came- in droves. Note: Black blood is a futuristic story depicting a close up look at the life and times of Jamaican police commissioner Watkins, and his encounters with count Lasco: a trans-continental drug lord and wanna-Jamaican king-pin.
