Guest host and contest winner Kisha Steele will be interviewing the author of her choice tonight: ZANE!  Check out the trailer: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2205401/ "Addicted" the novel: For successful African-American businesswoman Zoe Reynard, finding the pleasure she wants, the way she wants it, is not worth the risk of losing everything she has: marriage to the man she has loved since childhood, a thriving company, three wonderful children. But Zoe feels helpless in the grip of an overpowering addiction...to sex. Finding a compassionate woman therapist to help her, Zoe finally summons the courage to tell her torrid story, a tale of guilt and desire as shocking as it is compelling. From the sensitive artist with whom she spends stolen hours on rumpled sheets to the rough and violent man who draws her toward destruction,Zoe is a woman desperately searching for fulfillment -- and something darker, deeper, and perhaps deadly. As her life spins out of control and her sexual escapades carry her toward a dangerous choice, Zoe is racing against time to uncover the source of her "fatal attraction" -- as chilling secrets tumble forth from the recesses of a woman's mind, and perilous temptations lead toward a climax that can threaten her sanity, her marriage...and her life. 01:00:00UGMAG3noAddicted,Zane Strebor,Erotica,Queen of Erotica,HBOAddicted one of Zanes great novels is going to film.

Mimi RobinsonBIO Mz. Mimi, of Chicago, has been writing poems and short stories since the age of 12. By the age of 16 then living in a group home she’d decided she wanted to write be a writer. She started her first book several times talking herself out of finishing it each time. One day shortly after turning twenty five she was on the phone with her best friend, Toya of 11 years, discussing several of her past life issues and struggles she’d overcome when Toya said “Mimi you should write a book about your life, that shit would be a bestseller.” That day she started writing Love Vs. Loyalty, which she finished in a year and a half. She still wasn’t sure she’d publish it until May of 2013 when a close friend happened to find it laying around her house and read the whole thing in one sitting. After some convincing Mimi decided to send out her manuscript to several publishers just to see what would happen. Within 3 weeks she’d received five offers and decided  on La’ Femme Fatale’ Publishing which she signed a contract with July 4, 2013. Mz. Mimi is currently working on her second book Love Vs. Loyalty 2: J.R.’s story as well as three other books all inspired by life events.

I have been writing since the age of 12, where while daydreaming in class I would jot down my ideas. Growing up in a house with 5 siblings living at home and 5 who were out on their own, I cherished the times I could sit down and just write. Now, years later I am pleased to have my dreams become a reality and share with the world my thoughts and ideas. Rontora is a stay-at-home military spouse with two boys. When I am not writing or reading, I am spending my time with my boys and my high school sweetheart. I am ready for my dreams to become a reality and to help others along the way. My dream and goal are the same things I have wanted since I was a child, to one day be on the National Best Sellers List, to publish, produce, star in and help others enjoy my stage plays and screenplays.  This will be my third book published. The other two include “To Love a Man” and “A Passion Rekindled.” I have a series and two other novels in the works for the upcoming year and I am excited to bring my fans and new readers to my world.   To learn more about Rontora Nolan, visit www.rontoranolan.com.

LaVena L. Johnson was a soldier in the United States Army when she was raped, set on fire, and murdered in Iraq on July 17, 2005 at the tender age of 19. When notified of her death the family was told the cause of death was a "Self-Inflicted Wound". Her father, Dr. John Johnson, knew his daughter would never take her own life and started to wonder what actually happened to LaVena. It wasn't until her body reached the mortuary in her hometown of St. Louis that he discovered the Army wasn't truthful to his family. Dr. Johnson found several inconsistencies that were not related to suicide. He, with other friends and family, started a preliminary investigation and uncovered more than they bargained for. Almost nine years later and he still is trying to seek justice for his daughter as well as help other families not go through what his family went through. Kenneth D. Price wrote a recent article, giving the story of LaVena's tragic death a breath of fresh air.  Kenneth D. Price recently wrote an article that gives the reader insight of the tragic death of Pfc.

She began writing seriously her sophomore year in high school after her English teacher told her she had a lot of talent. Her story, which was read by many of her friends in high school, showed her that her imagination was phenomenal, and that she could do many wonderful things with her mind. Writing was not only fun for Rocky it also served as an outlet to her for her emotions. She never had the type of relationship with her parents where she could talk to them about anything so she wrote it out. Even though writing came naturally to her, Rocky never once thought about pursuing a writing career, until 2005 when she enrolled herself into the Breaking Into Print writing program, where she completed the course and received her diploma in just two years. In November of 2010 Rocky met her mentor and sister Karen E. Quinones Miller who told her she had *raw* talent. She began writing her first novel My Man My Abuser, which is about three years of her life in which she was in a domestically violent relationship. In 2012 Rocky wrote I Win You Lose, which is a compilation of six short stories dealing with Domestic Violence.  Rocky is currently working on the sequel to My Man My Abuser, which is titled Stirred and Shaken.   When Rocky isn't writing she enjoys spending time with her daughter, bowling, going to the movies and shooting pool. Rocky resides in New Haven, CT with her daughter.   01:00:00UGMAG3noUrban Grapevine Media,Drica Armstrong,Rocky Rose,Books and Bullshhh,Urban Grapevine Magazine"They say I’m a woman of many talents, which is true, my only problem was figuring out which talent(s) I wanted to pursue full time." - ROCKY ROSE Rocky Rose whttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/urban-grapevine-media/2013/12/12/books-and-bullshhh-with-drica-armstrong-and-rocky-roseBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/urban-grapevine-media/2013/12/12/books-and-bullshhh-with-drica-armstrong-and-rocky-rose/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/urban-grapevine-media/2013/12/12/books-and-bullshhh-with-drica-armstrong-and-rocky-roseThu, 12 Dec 2013 01:00:00 GMTBooks and Bullshhh with Drica Armstrong and Rocky Rose"They say I’m a woman of many talents, which is true, my only problem was figuring out which talent(s) I wanted to pursue full time." - ROCKY ROSE Rocky Rose was born and raised in New Haven, CT.
