Whoops, I just realized I commented on the 21st instead of the main board. Sorry about that. Please delete those comments. Here are my comments reposted on the main board: You mentioned Karibu Books in this interview, and before, that didn't really effect me too much because I'd never been there, but I found out that Heritage Books (Chicago) closed yesterday, and that hurt my feelings. That was the FIRST bookstore that gave my books a chance and sold "Change for a Twenty" inside. I wrote a blog about Black bookstores on www.shamontiel.com. Now I understand why you were so sad about Karibu Books leaving. I guess it has to hit close to home before you see how you'll miss something. (By the way, I'm laughing at the "aggressive blogger" comment. Just heard it. True indeed. :-)

Meeting the authors up close and personal is truly a unique experience celebrating Balck History Month. Tonight's authors: George Brummel, Anita Hackley-Lambert, Matthew C. Horne, and Deborah Slappy Pitts together created a night to remember. This event hosted by Ryan Greene enlightened listeners about black history rarely discussed before, if at all. From rare diseases directly linked to Agent Orange used in the Vietnam War to a blind African-American's courage to live, black people have something to be very proud of. It was especially a proud moment to hear of a black man's devotion to his people even though history stopped short of erasing him. I am talking about the first pioneer of the civil rights movement, Mr. F. H. M. Murray. Well, there are more books to add to your collecton and you have to download tonight's (Saturday, February 9, 2008) broadcast to take advantage of how to purchase these authors' inspiring stories. Five Stars and counting BHM! http'swaggiecoleman.blogspot.com; www.blackplanet.com/SwaggieC

I'm in awe of the excellent guests and presentations during the Black History Month event. I am delighted and blessed to be a part of a history-making event. I know that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us daily. I thank Ella Curry and the numerous folks who are behind the organization of this historic event. On the second night, I was tremendously in awe of Simba's (Karibu Books) conversation. Though I've never met him, I felt I knew him from his wonderful conversation. Thanks to you, many of our books have seen the light and I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of history as we continue our dialogue on the fourth date of our Black History Event. Many wonderful blessings to everyone, Deborah Slappey Pitts, Author Shadow Living...Paintings of Grief (award winner) I Feel Okay (award winner)

    EDC Literary Spotlight: Angela Benson

    Sins of the Father Book Party

    Successful media mogul Abraham Martin has great wealth, an elegant wife, Saralyn, and a rebellious son, Isaac. He also has a secret: a second family that no one knows about. Now, after thirty years—driven by the urging of his long dormant conscience—Abraham is determined to do the right thing by finally bringing his illegitimate children into the light…and into the family fold. Sins of the Father is a powerful story of a house bitterly divided—a rich, multilayered family saga of betrayal and redemption, rage and compassion, faith, forgiveness, and ultimately, of love.

    Bio

    Angela Benson's numerous novels include the Christy Award-nominated Awakening Mercy, the Essence-bestselling The Amen Sisters, and Up Pops The Devil. She's also the author of nonfiction writing book, Telling the Tale: The African-American Fiction Writer's Guide. She is currently an associate professor at the University of Alabama.

    Carbon Copy by Azarel Essence Bestseller

    Book spotlight: Carbon Copy by Azarel. Have you ever craved someone so bad…that you’d be willing to do anything? Meet Dominique Lewis, a foul, hard-boiled, go-getter who spends most of her days yearning to be just like her sister, and plotting on taking her man. For her, it’s all about money, sex, and power. Although she possesses the perfect physique and sexy features, her life-long dream is to become wealthy and a house-hold name. By any means necessary, she vows to get what she wants. As Dominique’s mission unfolds, she manages to get connected to Yuri, a violent replacement for the man she really sought. After realizing she’s partnered with a beast, her world turns upside down. And soon, after the tragic murder of her sister, all hell breaks loose when Dominique’s cover is blown. Armed with revenge on the brain, and a status goal in mind, Dominique soon appoints herself as Rapheal’s woman, the most sought after millionaire in Atlanta. Raphael’s lavish status in town would put her on a new level, right where she always dreamed…the only problem …he never said he wanted her. In an effort to hold on to Rapheal, and all the elaborate material possessions, Dominique sets out on a deadly mission to remove anything that stands in her way.

    Give the Gift of Knowledge Book Tour with Keya

    EDC Creations, The Sankofa Literary Society and The Black Authors Network announce the launch of their 2009-2010 "Give the Gift of Knowledge Campaign," bringing readers and authors together to help improve literacy. In 2004, during the Christmas holidays, Ella Curry, the founder of EDC Creations, reached out to women's groups and literary organizations to help promote early literacy by giving new books to children from low income homes. Today, the "Give the Gift of Knowledge Campaign," seeks to expand even further! “Based on the “each one teach one,” model, our goal is to help people introduce reading and new books to their family and friends,” says CEO and founder of EDC creations, Ella Curry. “Instead of giving expensive gifts that don't shape lives----let's “Give the Gift of Knowledge” and help to strengthen our future generations!”

    Please join the campaign by becoming a blog tour host, radio interviewer, chat host or by purchasing one of the books featured here and giving it to a friend. We welcome the community into the program and will support any of our partners with promotion in return. Spread the word.... we want to bring more entertainment, education and enlightenment to the community!

    Meet author Lynne Forde

    What is the price for fulfilling your dream? Lies of Blue is the story about Lynne Forde, a young woman who tries to reach her dream by making sacrifices. Somewhere along the line, the wrong sacrifices get made. It's Training Day meets OZ with a twist of Set It Off. When Forde gets tired of her dead end job in the City Courts, she embarks on a career in the belly of the beast. With a degree in hand and a little bit of street sense, she decides to try her hand working in River's Edge Jail Complex. From day one at the Academy to her last day at Prison, Forde evolves from your average "rookie" into something other than just a woman. To make matters worse, if you put a sexual being in the midst of some of the city's most conniving men and women, you are bound to come up with something a little kinky and very destructive. The more dangerous the game became, the more erotic the encounters became. She goes from Officer, to Hustler, to Victim, to CEO in a matter of 8 years.

Jessica lives the upscale lifestyle of a refined society matron. She strives to be the perfect wife, but without her husband, Ross, she would be nothing more than the abused stripper he rescued 16 years ago. Ryan, a fiery thirty-something, is quickly slipping into depression and prescription drug-addiction as her boyfriend, Anthony, artfully dangles the empty promise of marriage. As the shattered lives of three very different women collide, they find that they have one thing in common: they are all in a desperate fight to hang on to love. But when love involves incest, self-mutilation, drug-addiction and murder, will they continue to fight or will they find the strength to escape before it's too late? Experience their emotional journey through to the shocking end where these women will experience injury, imprisonment and even death while crafting new lives from the ashes of their ruination.
