Lady Q: The Rise and Fall of a Latin Queen is a true story based
on the life of a girl from the hood that would become one of the most powerful female gang members in the City of Chicago.

Throughout her reign as the Queen of all Kings and Queens,
Lady Q maintained her loyalty to the street soldiers and in many ways
never stopped being one. Lady Q's love of the streets and for the gang members that lived and died in them became the vehicle for her
rise and her ultimate downfall.

Lady Q: The Rise and Fall of a Latin Queen details the female side
of the gang lifestyle in the raw fashion of My Bloody Life.
This book is not a researched subject or a production where
gang members are put in position to show off for writers or cameras.
The woman known as Lady Q is still alive and a true testament of how devastating life within a gang can be even for a someone who wielded the power she once did.

My Bloody Life is meant to tell about the life within a gang infested neighborhood more so than as an autobiography of an individual.
In My Bloody Life I took my knowledge of the gang lifestyle, my personal experiences, the experiences of some of my comrades
to create Lil Loco, a member of the Latin Kings street gang.
 
My goal was to point out the pain and suffering that most gang
members live with while they inflict the same upon others.
I made sure to keep Lil Loco a character that those in the gang
lifestyle could relate to and understand.
By using incidents that actually took place in my life and in the
lives of those around me, I accomplished just that.

I wish I could say that Lil Loco was an exaggeration in an effort to
dramatize a story. The sad truth is that there are kids on the streets that  make Lil Loco's character seem like an alter boy by comparison. My Bloody Life is an attempt to reach out to the brothers and sisters in gangs and plead with them to get out
before it's too late. It was also an attempt to call to the attention of those thinking of joining  a gang the realities that await them. 

Regardless of where they exist, the foundation of street gangs are the friends and relatives of those that live right in the neighborhood they call their turf. This means that these kids are killing and dying,
almost literally, at the feet of those who say they love them.
My Bloody Life explains WHY?

Once a King, Always a King demonstrates the stronghold the gang lifestyle can have on a person and the courage it takes to break loose.
In Once a King, Always a King the  eulogy of Lil Loco ends but my
life continues. I still draw from the experiences of others in the
beginning as a way to assure my anonymity, but tell totally about
my life once the story no longer revolves around the Latin Kings.

Once a King, Always a King is intended as a message to those in gangs that it's never too late to change. It is an example of how we mistake the meaning of being leaders by following along blindly without realizing it. In this book I conclude the nightmare of living like an animal and begin the process of ending a vicious cycle of ignorance and abuse that starts at home. I finally come to terms with the anger and hate within me and begin my struggle with the traumas
my past has left me to deal with.

Once a King, Always a King takes me out of the hood and into
living a life with real worries and responsibilities.

Now if I could only find a way to save the brothers and sisters who
find themselves lost in the horror that is the gang lifestyle.
