My name is William D. Bell Jr. My most important accomplishments are related to my relationships as a: husband, father, grandfather, grandson, son, brother, nephew, cousin, and supportive friend. In the journey through this BLESSED life, I have worked with some fantastic people, obtained a few degrees, and experienced a true appreciation for the things others may consider small or normal, many, many times.
Joehonny is willing to share his challenges to help others with theirs. He one of the few people to openly share GOD's presence and protection in his life. His testimony expands as GOD directs him through fear, pain, and heartbreak to triumph.I am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of his story.Peace,William D. Bell Jr.
Hello, my name is Stephen Bower I'm a Police Officer and prior to that I was a Military Policeman in the United States Army. I deployed to both Afghanistan and Iraq. In Iraq I was assigned to protect the Top Commander in the war, General George Casey Jr.I have been with the Cincinnati Police Department for almost 18 years. During my time with the department, I have received the Ohio Attorney Generals award for Meritorious Service (2011), the Cincinnati Police Department's award for valor, Rotary club officer of the year award (2011), and Investigator of the month from the Cincinnati Supper Club (September 2015). I was promoted to Sergeant in 2016 and am awaiting promotion to Lieutenant (2023) next on the promotional list.
My friendship with Joehonny Reese began in 2006 in District 5. Joe got a kick out of my Cadillac CTS with a new set of rims on it. We immediately became friends. Joe and a few other veteran officers were encouraging to me when I felt like leaving Cincinnati for another department due to a supervisor that harassed new officers. I am very thankful for the mentorship and uplifting of Joe. He always has an upbeat personality and can make you laugh no matter what you are going through. In 2012, I was going through another tough time in life, and worked several off-duty extra pay details with Joe. Joe would uplift me and we would have conversations about similar times he had had in his life. Joe spoke with me about God and invited me to the men's ministry he was attending at the time. I did not go with him, but a seed was planted me and I feel it led me to my current relationship with God. Joe is a great man and someone that I have looked up to from the time I met him. He is a great person to have beside you if you are going through a rough patch in life.Peace,Stephen Bower

I began my career working eight years at the Cincinnati Enquirer. I experienced and learned a great deal during my time there. Currently as owner of Creative Storm since 2014, a Marketing/PR/Promotional company, I have had the privilege to work with a host of extraordinary individuals and companies such as Peoples First Savings Bank, Uptown Consortium, The Port, City of Cincinnati Recreation Commission, Cincinnati Tennis Foundation ..... and A Father's Novel! My enjoyment is found in working with each and every individual person and their marketing needs. Working in tandem and seeing their project and company achieve success ... is the best feeling!!!
I have had the pleasure of knowing Joe for several years. When discussing Joe's project of "A Father's Novel"... it brought tears to my eyes. I realized Joe is a man who loves his daughter so very much and wanted to be able to let her know how very much she was truly loved. Joe wanted to share and to make sure his daughter knew of his hopes and dreams for her as she matures, travels the path of life and that he will always be her biggest cheerleader! As Joe and I talked, Joe said things can change in a nano second and a person never knows what tomorrow will bring. Additionally, he knows of several friends and acquaintances who unfortunately do not have access to a quality relationship with their children due to divorce, living out of state etc. Those children need their Father's thoughts. This hit home. My personal situation is that my Mother and Father divorced when I was about two years of age. Due to various factors, my Father had said when I graduated from high school, he had hoped we would be able to connect and spend more quality time together ... he was looking forward to it, and so was I. Unfortunately, he died suddenly September of my senior year. We never had that chance and I only wish I had something like A Father's novel to learn more about him, his life as well as his feelings, wishes and desires regarding me. Just something from him. I have nothing. So hat's off to you Joe! This series of novels are long overdue and much needed! It will help many people fill a void in their heart and life that I believe your series of novels will hep repair. Best to you as always friend!Linda Dektas
My name is Shermel Davis. I'm a father of four beautiful children. I began as an NYPD officer and then came to CPD. I currently am a recruiter for Law Enforcement Officers For the Future.
I've been a police officer for 20 yrs. I've known Joehonny for 16 of them. Joehonny has always been a big brother, mentor, and friend to me! There's never a sad day when you're around Joehonny. He's a man of God and he's a man I put my utmost faith in. Someone I can always go to for advice when times are good and bad! I believe Joehonny was built for this task.Shermal Davis
My name is Rick Hoskins. I'm an Army veteran, retired Law enforcement officer, and now entrepreneur.
I worked with Mr. Reese for several years in District 5. Mr. Reese is a fine example of a true leader, friend, and father. He's compassionate and he cares about people. He really does believe in the concept of a complete family unit. Mr. Reese is someone you're proud to have in your circle of friends. Parental Alienation is a real problem for men in this country, and they mostly suffer in silence. A Father's Novel is long over due, and I wish Joehonny the best! Rick Hoskins
My name is Starr Judkins and I am Chief Nursing Officer for Behavioral Health Substance Use Services. I have worked previously with Forensic Adolescents that experienced significant trauma and suffered Mental, Physical, and Emotional abuse. Working in with this population gave me the insight of how detrimental healthy family collateral connections are to assist with healing our community; because without them you see excessive suicidal ideation and a revolving door in our mental health facilities respectively. My accomplishments include writing a program for Forensic Adolescents that addressed: coping skills, interventions, and resources to deal with trauma. I have also opened many detox and recovery facilities across the U.S. and received national accreditations. Lastly, I wrote the nursing sector of a nationally recognized detox program in the correctional scope called "Enough is Enough." A program that teaches patients who are incarcerated the importance of sobriety and rebuilding family structures.
I have known Joehonny for 25 years and the trajectory of our friendship has transformed over the years. We now have a mature spiritual friendship that has been so refreshing to watch and be a part of. In other words he is a real friend. :)Starr Judkins
My name is Hannibal Mayhams. I am a married father of three, I have a undergraduate degree from Xavier University in Liberal Arts. I was born and raised in New York City I migrated to Ohio 18 years ago to pursue a career in law enforcement.
My relationship with Joehonny began about 10 years ago, we met on the job and eventually became close friends. Joehonny Reese has been an anchor in my life and living example of perseverance and resilience, he has consistently been there to give me sage advice when needed or bring tears of laughter to my face on my darkest days. The remarkable thing is that he’s been able to do this at times when his day was even darker than my own. A Father's Novel is long overdue!Hannibal Mayhams

I have had the pleasure of knowing Joehonny Reese for more than 30 years. Mr. Reese entered my life as a teenager as a friend, but I now consider him to be my brother. Mr. Reese has come from humble beginnings, and he has honored these beginnings in his everyday life and career. I am honored to say that he is my brother because he has supported me and my family emotionally and spiritually through some very difficult times and loss. There were many days that I thought that I may not survive all the life challenges in front of me, but with Mr. Reese’s comforting spirit, words, wisdom, and guidance I made it through!I find that Mr. Reese’s purpose is to support those who need advocacy, guidance, and resources so that they have a chance to win against life challenges. He is professional at all times and he has the skill to meet people where they are in life. It is my hope that Mr. Reese will be successful in this journey to impact the entire world and its families. I think that Mr. Reese is an awesome role model, brother, uncle, and father. He will always have my endorsement to make our world a better place by helping build families!Love and Blessings,Annie Fears Mincey

I’m tremendously proud to support my friend, Brother-In-Christ, and mentor as he embarks upon his calling of helping to restore families via his company… A Father’s Novel. Most people pursue entrepreneurial ventures for the sake of financial gain. However, as a testament to Joehonny’s character, vision, and heart his company is being established with the sole purpose of helping broken and hurting families to regain hope and healing.I have witnessed Joehonny fight relentlessly to overcome the various challenges associated with depression. While also undertaking the arduous task of successfully repairing a fractured relationship with his own daughter. Therefore, in my opinion, there’s no one more qualified to positively impact families than my friend and brother Joehonny Reese.As a City of Cincinnati Police Officer, I can definitively say that many of our societal and criminal issues stem from dysfunctional family dynamics. However, to the world I say…. Get Ready Get Ready Get Ready… Because a God sent remedy is on the way to help reclaim what the enemy has attempted to steal!”Joehonny, please always remember that life is lived going forward and often understood looking backwards so please know that every personal storm was preparation for this moment in history. Brother move forward with boldness knowing that GOD is with you every step of the way!Much Love and Respect,Marcus Sherman
