Milton the great
Milton Choctaw, better known as Milton the great, is a man living two vastly different lives. By day, he is the suave and successful owner of a bustling casino in Las Vegas, a towering figure with a calm demeanor and a business acumen inherited from his Native American father, Biisan Aman Choctaw, who won the casino in a lottery. His mother, Carlota Mariselis Buenos Choctaw, an Afro-Mexican, adds to Milton's rich cultural background. Milton's dark journey into crime began during his university years in South America, where his studies in business analysis were overshadowed by a fascination with the criminal underworld. After returning to Las Vegas, he merged his newfound knowledge of crime into his casino operations, ensuring anyone who crossed him paid a heavy price. For example, Milton once left a cheating gambler stranded in the desert’s merciless heat as punishment. Despite his involvement in crime, Milton’s complexity shines through his occasional acts of mercy. In Milton the great, themes of identity, morality, and redemption weave through a suspenseful narrative of crime, culture, and personal conflict. As Milton's life unravels, he must confront the man he has become and decide whether to risk everything for a chance at redemption—or continue down the path of destruction he has built for himself.

My mission as a writer is to create stories that resonate with the deepest aspects of faith, redemption, and the human spirit. As a self-published author and screenwriter, I am driven by a passion for weaving narratives that don’t just entertain but also inspire and challenge audiences to think about life, purpose, and personal transformation. Each of my characters reflects a journey—sometimes toward light, other times through dark valleys—but always with the hope of something greater waiting on the other side.
My writing is deeply rooted in my faith and my background as a spiritual leader and life coach. Through storytelling, I strive to bring a sense of empathy, truth, and moral complexity to the screen, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to seek God, confront inner conflicts, and emerge stronger. As I work on adapting my novels into screenplays, I aim to bring these layered, faith-centered narratives to life in a way that speaks to audiences from all walks of life. My ultimate goal is to create stories that are both impactful and memorable, leaving viewers with a deeper understanding of themselves and the grace that sustains us all.
