ReidThe John T. Wills Book Tree Radio Show welcomes Author Oliver Reid of Spiritual GPS (GOD PROMISED SOLUTIONS) will introduce you to his novel DAILY QUOTES TO NAVIGATE THROUGH LIFE’S HIGHWAY Volume 1. Just like our daily commutes life's highway is filled with winding turns, unexpected delays, breakdowns, and unfortunately accidents. We can start off in our minds envisioning a well thought out plan to get us to our desired destination only to later find that road is closed or under construction. Oftentimes our fondest shortcuts lead us into major traffic jams. It is a proven fact that we map out our lives by identifying the familiar streets marking the crossroads that we are accustom to. You may be asking where I'm going with this and all I can say is stay along for the ride and keep your mental, emotional, and spiritual seat-belts fastened. 00:40:00John T Wills Book TreenoBooks,novels,authors,readers,literacyThe John T.

Graham - Williams) will join me for a provocative conversation and her book “TALKING ABOUT RACE: A Workbook About White People Fostering Racial Equality in Their Lives”. Here is what two of America’s foremost authorities on the subject of inequity had to say: Howard Zinn - A People's History of the United States Talking About Race is wonderfully engaging, truly conversational, and because it is so personal it takes the subject out of the realm of academic discussion and confronts readers with the reality of their own thoughts, their own experiences. I think it would be a very useful book for teachers and students. Tim Wise, author White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son Kaolin's narrative is a compelling mix of first-rate analysis, personal stories, and practical, illuminating exercises that help readers utilize this book as a living, evolving document. By asking readers to stop and reflect as they move through the text, Kaolin gives us all a chance to breathe, take in the deep and important material herein, and then push forward in the struggle against racism, in ourselves and society. http://www.ltar.biz/praise.htm THOUGHT PROVOKING PERSPECTIVES 01:01:00John T Wills Book TreenoBooks,novels,authors,Literacy,raceKaolin (formerly Patricia A.

Wills Book Tree Radio Show welcomes the highly acclaimed new author and forensic expert Sherry Fiester as our very special guest “In The Spotlight”. Some say America lost its innocence that fateful day in November 1963 in Dallas, Texas when the shocking news of the assassination of President Kennedy. One thing for sure there has been no shortage of conspiracies, theories, or doubt as to what actually happened on that fateful afternoon. Sherry merges modern CSI knowledge to examine the JFK Assassination in her new book - Enemy of the Truth: Myths, Forensics, and the Kennedy Assassination. THOUGHT PROVOKING PERSPECTIVES http://thoughtprovokingperspectives.wordpress.com The Kennedy assassination is a particularly timely topic since November 2013 will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the shooting death of the 35th President of the United States. While the most studied murder investigation of the 21st century, it remains plagued by questions and a variety of theories. However, applying modern forensic investigative techniques to this high profile homicide can reveal new information—some of which is startling. 01:00:00John T Wills Book TreenoBooks,novels,authors,readers,literacyThe John T.

This new work does just that, offering the unexpected and unusual commonalities of ten contemporary women.  Seldom, if ever, are such stories exhibited on the big or small screen. Be they individualistic or tradition-bound; the life force of these woman hums in the background of American experience, sometimes a lullaby and sometimes a moan, but seldom a whimper. Anderson wants the world to hear this music, see these colors and know these women by heart. http://johntwills.com 01:01:00John T Wills Book TreenoBooks,novels,authors,readers,literacyActress, vocalist, writer, print model, voice-over talent, tarot card reader, mother, grandmother, eternal student and irrepressible World Dancer, Mamie~Louisehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/johntwills/2012/09/13/encore-showBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/johntwills/2012/09/13/encore-show/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/johntwills/2012/09/13/encore-showThu, 13 Sep 2012 01:03:00 GMTIn The Spotlight With Author Rebecca Campbell-Greene God has anointed Rebecca Greene to write and she shares her gift in the novels, blogs and devotionals that she publishes for the Glory of God and the up building of His kingdom.

Julius Thompson’s novel "The Ghost of Atlanta" is, overall, a superbly written book. Mr. Thompson has included all the ingredients that make for a well-written novel: great character descriptions, an exciting well-thought-out plot, edge-of-your-seat adventure with all the proper descriptive (old love and love rekindled, friendships-new and old, hate-the kind that festers, murder-brutal and heartless, drugs-of the worst kind, family ties-both good and bad, etc.). The book is a very fast read that builds up slowly and has a fantastic ending. This novel is the third in a series. Therone Shellman will share his wisdom and knowledge about the self-publishing industry. He's the author of Love Don't Live Here, No Love Lost, The Secrets of Self Publishing, Survivor I Changed the Rules Part 1, and the co-author of Love.com. Throughout the years he's had many articles featured within magazines. All My Tears: Poetry & Thoughts and All You Need to Know to Become an Entrepreneur, The Awakening and All You Need to Become a Leader are his next works scheduled to release soon. Lecture Cd's are also forthcoming from the author shortly. 01:00:00John T Wills Book Treenobooks,author,poet,novel,literaryJoin me and my guests for a powerful conversation as we talk about their work, experiences, and literary journey.

Wills Chronicles Presents Michelle Alexander I cordially invite you to join me and my co-host Kathleen Wells for an empowering conversation with Michelle Alexander author of the “The New Jim Crow”. It has been called powerful, explosive, alarming, provocative, well-researched and convincing! Michelle’s novel is the 2010 Association for Humanist Sociology Book Award. The Association for Humanist Sociology is a community of sociologists, educators, scholars, and activists who share a commitment to using sociology to promote peace, equality, and social justice. Benjamin Jealous, President and CEO of the NAACP, said “every century there is a crisis in our democracy, the response to which defines how future generations view those who were alive at the time. In the 18th century it was the transatlantic slave trade, in the 19th century it was slavery, in the 20th century it was Jim Crow. Today it is mass incarceration. Alexander’s book offers a timely and original framework for understanding mass incarceration, its roots to Jim Crow, our modern caste system, and what must be done to eliminate it. This book is a call to action.” 01:10:00John T Wills Book Treenobooks,author,poet,novel,literaryI cordially invite you to join me and my co-host Kathleen Wells for an empowering conversation with Michelle Alexander author of the “The New Jim Crow”.

There are so many reasons why this book YOU GOTTA DANCE is by far one of the most profound literary works of 2009. The story of Michael Daluz is one of spiritual and emotional faith written by Bryant Daluz, who carries the reader on a journey of failure, success, incarceration, fatherhood and a spiritual wakening. This is a story of disappointment that is all too common for Black males. It is not a preachy life lesson book rather a story of redemption. It is Michael's story of how he learned to pick himself up from a huge setback. Michael is man that even when wronged is able to see the lessons that many of us take for granted thought this story that needed to be told. They say you can't keep a good man down, and though this story you will find that statement is true. So mother’s, this is a show that your son’s (and daughters) need to hear and one in which you will learn to shape their future and character. 01:12:00John T Wills Book Treenobooks,author,poet,novel,literaryJoin me for a powerful conversation with Michael Daluz the subject of the novel “YOU GOTTA DANCE”.

Brown Jr. I am delighted to invite you to join me and my guest Author Courtney R. Brown Jr. whose novel “The Rise & Fall of an Urban Empire”. This fascinating novel is an in-depth flashback of the lives of "True Documented Heroin Kingpins", not the fabricated fairy tale existence most street level hustlers now claim to live. To date, The Fat Man and The Field Marshal's illegal earnings could easily still label them MVP's in Detroit's Underworld Drug Game. Accumulating more than a million dollars a month in heroin sales, these childhood friends lived lavish, privileged lifestyles, that today's nickel and dime street hustlers could only dream of. Courtney R. Brown Jr., chronicles his father and Mr. Jackson’s Exploits from Meager Beginnings in the Civil Rights Era on to their ‘rise and fall’ in the posh suburbs of ‘70s Detroit. "The Kingpin's Kid", a film based upon the book, "The Rise and Fall of an Urban Empire", By Courtney Brown is currently in production in conjunction with Parliament Studios. While it is still in development, it has generated a substantial buzz at film festivals, in print media and internet websites as well as social media like Facebook and YouTube. www.bigbossbooks.com 00:57:00John T Wills Book Treenobooks,author,poet,novel,literaryI am delighted to invite you to join me and my guest Author Courtney R.

The New York native calls himself a ‘literary sadist’. He writes the truth, and knows the truth can hurt. He has written three powerful books: The Ronin Poetz, the first African-American narrative epic poem (a story told entirely through poetry). 12 Stories High: The Imaginative Trip Thru a Black Mind, a book of 12 short, powerful stories that span many genres and Code-47: Memoirs of a Hip Hop Heist. Justin is a writer-editor and has edited manuscripts, screenplays, and even official reports such as the CDC Transition Briefing Book for the Obama Administration.

Wills talks about "The Dash"The host of the John T. Wills Book Tree Radio Show sits down with Walt Laurel for an interview to let the Book Tree audience know who he is and to talk about his amazing novel “Just a Season”. Just a Season is a luminous story into the life of a man who, in the midst of pain and loss, journeys back in time to reexamine all the important people, circumstances, and intellectual fervor that contributed to the richness of his life. This fictional narrative begins with a grief-stricken father visiting the grave site of his beloved son who was killed in a tragic accident; a moment that he and no other loving parent should ever have to face. As he sadly gazes at his son’s headstone and reads what is inscribed there, the dates 1981 – 2001 bring about an illuminating discovery. The tiny dash that separates the years of one’s birth and death represents the whole of a person’s life. So if this tiny dash were to tell his life’s story, what would it say? In Just a Season, the dash of this man’s life is revealed and what emerges from the pages of this book is a legacy of true benevolence and grace. www.justaseason.com 00:42:00John T Wills Book Treenobooks,authors,novels,History,Just a SeasonThe host of the John T.
