Warner Bros. Discovery Exploring Overhaul of DC Entertainment EXCLUSIVE: The new owners of all things Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are exploring an overhaul of DC Entertainment, multiple sources close to the situation told Variety. https://twitter.com/i/events/1514677905246208004 IN AMENDMENT I listened to the new CRO of Warner Bros. Discovery and he said, like Discovery , they will not try to outspend so projects that are not going well will not be continued I think. He didn't mention any names but I am certain the DC universe is in for some layoffs. Batman will be fine, Aquaman will be fine, but I think Wonder woman or Suicide Squad will or Super…

I Am Mixed by Garcelle Beauvais and Sebastian A. Jones, Illustrated by James C. Webster "I Am Mixed is an invaluable teaching tool that all children from all races can learn from." - Halle Berry (from her foreword) Jay and Nia are the children of two worlds, and as they will discover, they can enjoy the best of both. From Mommy's jazz beats to Daddy's classical piano, we will dance with the twins through a book that explores what it is to be of mixed ancestry, proving that a child is more than the sum of their parents.

The Israeli military said 20 rockets were fired at its positions in the occupied Golan Heights overnight. It responded by launching what a spokesman called "one of the broadest aerial operations in recent years". There was no immediate comment from Iran, whose deployment of troops to Syria to back the government in the country's civil war has alarmed Israel. Iran has repeatedly called for an end to the existence of the Jewish state. Israel's military had been anticipating an attack by Iranian forces after reportedly carrying out a number of strikes on their facilities in Syria in recent months. They included one o…

The publishing world has undergone a revloution in the last 10 years. My book FACES IN THE MIRROR: OSCAR MICHEAUX AND SPIKE LEE was recently published by Fireside. Eleven years ago a book I wrote on the Supreme Court and civil rights was published. In the decade between the publication of the two books, marketing underwent a sea change, mostly due to the internet. I want to pass on a few tips to current authors and receive a few tips. (1) Get a Facebook website for your book. This can cost you or your publisher some money but a professional-looking site can be gotten at a reasonable cost. A site will allow you to post regularly about your book and (hopefully) develop a fa…

CENTO Series episode 95- enjoy the poetry

From the brief research I've done, this is a White author who is married to a Black woman and specializes in "urban" novels centered around interracial relationships. Is anyone here familiar with his work? His book "A Good Man" happened to catch my attention as I walked past it in the book store a few days ago. Interesting title...and cover. The old proverb that a picture is worth a thousand words wasn't too far off the mark!

Periodically I run a process which updates the my list of websites dedicated to Black books. I've been doing tracking Black book websites for well over 10 years. Before I ran the process today I had 55 sites; after running the process I now have 42--that is almost of 1/4 of the sites! Surely something was wrong, I mean how could so many sites disappear so quickly? Well I checked, and nothing was wrong. At least nothing was wrong with my code. We've a lost bunch of websites, dedicated to Black books in recent years including many quality sites like, A Place of Our Own, The Urban Book Source, Azizi Books and many others. One can only come to a…
