    About this ebook

    Eric Reese is back with the latest installment of the bestseller street lit, There and Now Volume 3. The game doesn't stop nor does the hustle.


    Follow Philly boy E's journey through the dope, family, self-doubt, and anything but a plain vanilla life. Being homeless in the prime of his life even with family around, there are worse things to beat down, like his streak of recklessness or being without a purpose in life. In this volume, E must make decisions that will either make his world a dark one with pestilence at every turn or a serene landscape of a vast blue ocean with the smell of a tropical shower in the air.


    What will he choose to do? Is there redemption around the corner for this soldier who life thought was strong enough to make it through the tsunami? Will old Philly swallow and spit him out like so many from his demographic before him or will there be a chrysalis?


    There and Now urban fiction series describes the lesser known hard-core facts of life that Lil E is faced with in this young life. Here is the ultimate tale of an African-American teenager as he grapples with curve balls that destiny throws at him with raw determination and charisma, claiming the streets of Philadelphia that have moulded him into the maelstrom that he is.

    Eric Reese

    "Every book I write goes into uncharted territories others won't pen."   About me: I'm Eric Reese, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I've worked as a community organizer, educator, graphic design, human services and a number of other fields.  I'm the recipient of the first Mayoral Scholarship of Philadelphia (1993), the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers Human Relations Award (1989) and a few other awards and scholarships nationally and globally.  I've always had an interest in writing especially from the old-journal-in-the-morning days as many of my books today reflect my experiences here and abroad.  When I have time for myself, I love traveling, mediating and researching new marketing tactics. One of my weirdest experiences was when I once lived on a top roof in an apartment building in Beirut for a few weeks until I found somewhere to stay during the war in Afghanistan. Every night, I'd listen to BBC radio and hear the chaos while not be detected.  Some say that my lively and energetic character has made me many friends across the world. I really hope so; with many friends come many enemies. In the future, I'd love to own a large home somewhere in a quiet peaceful spacious area where my neighbors are not close but not far. Now I live wherever is called home at the time in hopes of achieving my goal one of these days. You can contact me at feekness@gmail.com

      When my son Henry was a year old I took him to Boston to meet my mother. She didn’t show up. It turned out that she had gone to Foxwoods Casino instead, which sounds bad and maybe was, but it had been three years since I’d seen her or even spoken to

      At my mother’s interment, my brother gave a eulogy by the grave. ‘Mum and Dad bought this plot on my 24th birthday,’ he said. ‘But it only came with a 50-year lease. So if I manage to survive to the age of 74, I hope I have enough savings left to buy
