Vuelta Skelter
Riding the Remarkable 1941 Tour of SpainVuelta Skelter is really three books in one. It's the story of Moore's own epic 2,760-mile, lung-busting, thigh-wrenching journey... It is a rich, kaleidoscopic look a the legacy of the Spanish Civil War... And it is also a tribute to Berrendero - a tough, dour loner who refuses to give an inch, either to the mountains or to the authorities... Moore wants to restore JB [Berrendero] to his proper place in the ranks of cycling legends. He succeeds superbly.

In life, there are critical teaching points that etch out who the person truly is or becomes. I have intentionally embraced the challenges of speaking on topics facing people of color that are often hidden and not expressed by cis heterosexual Black males."After the Rain Falls," chronicles the issues of my life and community from: depression, suicide, marriage, divorce, being a black educator, love, redemption, fatherhood, overcoming phobias and a plethora of barbershop talk issues through a combination of original poems and essays to spark dialogue for the revitalization and education of ourcommunities.
