Ars Longa Vita Brevis – My Life Series, A Pictorial Memoir: 23 years in the Making, and The Flaming Blade: My Days in Babylon are three pictorial memoirs that are some of Maradas's best efforts yet as a published author. He has attempted to deliver to you, the reader, an accurate account of the many experiences that he has had, during one of the most difficult, yet greatest times in his life series. He has dedicated this work to his daughters, Aerial Channa'e Williams & Masyn Sabrina Williams for their untiring efforts in understanding why, ' Daddy wasn't there,' during some of the most important times in their lives. Hopefully this work will fill some of the voids in their hearts and minds, and give them insight to their father who loves them dearly.
