Greetings. The book ("Dear Dad") by Ky-Mani Marley is not a new one, but I didn't even know that Kymani had a book out until last Friday. I just happened to see it in the bookstore and I picked it up. Have any of you read this? In my opinion, it's the kind of book that can make you laugh, cry, think, and take notes for the purpose of doing your part to bring about a brighter tomorrow.

The world wide web really is controlled by big web sites. Perhaps I should just give up complaining about everything we have all lost as a result of the corporate take over of the internet and do something else -- for real. Twitter "gave" me $100 of "free" advertising. It was one of those deals where you give them a credit card number and they make money because they know you will end up not cancelling your campaign when the $100 is used up. Well in a few days I used up $340 in extra charges. I fought the charges but PayPal, unlike AMEX, is useless against another corporation. Need ess to say I will never ever use Twitter for advertising. I would ditch P…

Het @Delano, I discovered this book, A Study of Numbers: A Guide to the Constant Creation of the Universe by R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, recently and was wondering what you thought about it, based upon the description and perhaps the youtube video. I was in Oakland, CA on Friday and I visited the iconic Marcus Bookstore. One of the coowners turned me onto another book by the same authors, which she said would blow my mind. I discovered the book above while researching R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz. The book she recommended to me was The Temple of Man,

When you sit back and recall the funny things that come out of a child's mouth, you cant help but laugh. The innocence is priceless. Then, the conversations that take place as adults when they reflect about the past and share how they interpreted words, conversations and phrases... Let's not even mention the 'secret' conversations that take place between adults & funny situations you've gotten yourself into. OMG, LOL...You cant make this stuff UP!! Warning: This book promise to make you LOL, so make sure you're not in a situation that requires you to be serious. Here's a glimpse. The Interview: So, my daughter, Dani goes on a second interview(she's only 16 with …

How many of you knew the story about those brilliant African-American women working at NASA BEFORE seeing the movie “Hidden Figures”? Probably not most. The role ofAfrican-Americans has often been downplayed, overlooked, ignored. My co-author, the late Edna Gail Bush, and I sought to right the wrong by shining a light on African-American residents of Edgefield County, SC. “Until lions become their own historians, every story will glorify the hunter.” The book is available on Amazon as e-book, paperback & hardcover.

Hello. I don't know if this is the right place to post about this. https://books2read.com/b/bMXkKX https://books2read.com/u/bMXkKX This is an Ebook that I recently released last month, titled "The Blue Shadow". Originally, I wanted to create a movie, comicbook, or videogame, though limited resources prevented that from happening. Anyway, the story is about a Black Vigilante who takes matters into his own hands and goes to war against Law Enforcement in America. I wanted it to be hard and edgy as well, I'm not sure of such subject matter would be allowed on this forum considering how insensitive it might be…

We had skilled publishing professionals among us, so we never considered using a vanity press. Instead, each of the twelve of us tossed in $500 and formed a small business. One of us went to San Francisco City Hall to process our business name, Wild Writing Women Press. Another bought the ISBN and bar code; others hired a book designer, edited, proofread, created a website, and chose a printer. Promotion was easy because we had 12 professional adventure travel writers talking up the book in the course of marketing our other books and projects. Wild Writing Women: Stories of World Travel was an instant hit. We sold all 1,000 copies in the first week of publication and m…

"With a career in the performing arts that has spanned a lifetime the acclaimed singer, actress, poet, activist, television producer and author, Camille Yarbrough is an influential figure still producing. Not long ago, Yarbrough had a re-release of her album The Iron Pot Cooker, made into CD, for a new generation of fans anxious to get some of Yarbrough's music and wisdom in their souls. Along with release of her new CD came the title from Spin Magazine that Camille Yarbrough is "the foremother of hip hop" and rightfully so, for she's inspired a generation of poets and musicians through her lyrics and passion as a dramatic and poetic performer." --DuEwa M.

Tarkisha's book is indeed the #1 bestselling book on AALBC making the September/October - 2018 list. What is striking, to me about this video, produced by the author, is that she, (1) recognizes the accomplishment of making AALBC's bestsellers list and (2) tells readers that they can buy her book from AALBC. An author doing both — even an AALBC bestselling author — unsolicited is not common (sad but true). I'm confident this is a trend that will continue as more authors, especially the indie authors expand their promotional efforts beyond social media — it is win-win. Indie authors need booksellers who promote and sell their work and booksellers…

I enjoy writing African-American historical fiction stories. The whileBlack Chronicles’ expose how truly terrifying it must have been for our Elders. We need to continue to tell our story. It’s a fascinating history of survival when told from a different perspective. Black literature (fiction and nonfiction) is critical to our mental health. It's a reminder of how strong we are.

Don’t Call Me Crazy! I’m Just in Love Paperback from Swiyyah Nadirah Woodard Anniversary of the book's publication

Hi All, I am an author and old poster to AALBC from years back. I've had my head down writing like crazy for some time and finally a company recognizes my brilliance and my novel will be released soon under my new pen name. But I'm not here to promote just yet. I just want to touch base with the people here, find out if there are still romance lovers on this site? I read a blog recently (if you knew how technologically challenged I am you would be very proud of me for knowing what a blog is) that said romance novels aren't realistic to the African American experience. If I knew how to respond to that blog I would . It's easy to post here so here I am.…

Hello All, I just read this article from MSNBC.com, Black Male high school graduation. It looks like we, as a people, done fell the f_ck DOWN!

The movie, "The Help", is opening this week-end, and it being an example of a white woman telling a black one's story, makes it the object of controversy. I have mixed emotions about this best-selling book, whose screen version has been much anticipated. I read it when it first came out and posted a mini review of it here. Then, as now, a lot of its story line didn't ring true to me because the author often sacrificed credibility for the sake of providing comic relief. And at the book's end, several issued remained unresolved. Other critics, many of whom are black female writers, say the approach to the book was patronizing, and that the treatment of the charact…

You are the lead producer years ago on the Black panther 2 movie project for Disney. Chadwick Boseman's spirit flew. Actors/Set designers/the lead director you hired are set. This is the first preproduction meeting. You start off with the question, will we recast tchalla or continue the Black PAnther as another character? What say you producer?
