The Little Village of Fish Boom Bay

About the Book

There was this village somewhere far, far in the sticks. For those who don’t know what the word sticks mean, it’s another word for the country, very deep in the country. The name of this small village was Fish Boom Bay. It had maybe about two thousand people in the whole village. The people couldn’t understand anything or anyone different from them—well, not all of them were like that. Read the book. I’m sure you and your loved ones will love it.

About the Author

Ivan Pryor Burnett III is a native of Chicago, whose roots extend all the way to Jamaica. Ivan is originally from the south side of Chicago, and as a young man of nineteen years, he became a father. Ivan joined the US Army in hopes to better care for this daughter. His grandfather was from Kingston, Jamaica, and his grandmother was from Saint Thomas. Both were his mother’s parents. Ivan’s passion for writing came to him as a young teen. Ivan wrote his fi rst manuscript and his fi rst short story, “The Coldest Water and the Warmest Seat,” at the age of thirteen.

They cannot seem to take control of their own lives, so they look fot the other people’s weaknesses and seek to control and or destroy them. We are living in a society where some people feel they have the right to judge who lives or die. Who but the Lord has that right to decide, “not you or I”. Many people in the world today have sinister minds they like to play the role of God. If you feel that’s you, then create us a Heaven and Earth then solve all of the worlds pain and sufferin
