(NOTE: There will be a press conference to discuss the process behind his literary project on Friday, December 28, 2007. It will be held at the Richard Wright Library (515 W. McDowell Road in Jackson, MS) at 4p.m. It is open to the media and book lovers as well.)

 

MS author C. A. Webb releases the novella that everyone will be talking about for years to come. The true-to-life story of one man's journey from nothing to everything. Meet Kaleel Yant: C. A. Webb's most intriguing character to date.

 

"The character of Kaleel Yant was not a real stretch for me," Webb, 32, confides. "Kaleel is me, but he is also so many others that I have seen who have strived for success and came up with what they sought after and more."

 

Kaleel Yant is a man that begins a company that has tentacles in the worlds of the arts and business. Through DESTINY'S CHILD, you will see the ends and outs of man whose desire for something could cost him everything. He is the no-nonsense creative out of Montgomery, AL that finds himself following his dreams as an artist and entrepreneur. His ambitions join him with Catha Ayers, a young woman who sees his vision and vows to help him carry out his plan to lead an artistic revolution in the South. She is attracted to his confidence and search for power, yet finds out too late exactly what he will do to end up on top.

Kaleel Yant's personal and public lives mesh and collide in a series of events that affects the lives of people in Alabama, Mississippi and soon the entire nation.

 

"He's a complex creature who gives so much to his dreams and finds himself running on empty sometimes," Webb explains. "There is no handbook to the course that he sets out on. Everything is based on his being true to himself."

Set between Alabama and Mississippi, "Destiny's Child" will leave you wondering what is real and what is imaginary in this tale that questions the various degrees of passion and what one man will do to experience them all.
