Charles R Harris Chuck Harris 100 Meters 1/18/2020 ISBN: 9781705596494 Cisco a young black male who is blessed with the God given talent to run like the wind. This would eventually lead to him breaking 8th and 9th grade track-n-field records. This new found fame changes Cisco and he becomes rebellious and uncoachable and decides not to run anymore as a result. He also broke up with his girlfriend who was unwilling to have sex before marriage. This attitude made him fertile soil for the corruption that he grew up around all his life, but was shielded from by his religious great grandmother and street cred of his grandmother, that slowly suck…

Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk once said the test of good literature is simple — you want more of it when you’re done. Song Yet Sung meets that test for me. McBride tells an engrossing tale of suffering, redemption, and the enduring imprint of slavery on the souls of both blacks and whites. The story takes place over a short span of weeks in the spring of 1850 on the remote and relatively lawless Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay, where hardened watermen eke out an existence by farming and dredging oysters. Fourteen blacks have broken out of their confinement at the home of notorious slave dealer Patty Cannon, whose gang steals slaves and rounds up runaways to sell in Bal…

Authors You Should Know: Hey y'all I'm updating my homepage with new "Authors You Should Know". Do you all have any suggestions? I'm going to add James Alan McPherson (can anyone help me find a photo I can use), and a couple of lessor known authors that were reviewed well by my reviewers. Are the any authors you feel folks really should know? Someone who is a good writer, but underappreciated, young or old, living or deceased, from the continent or the Diaspora -- anyone you think should be more widely known. Thanks!

Saving Horatio Alger: Equality, Opportunity, and the American Dream The stain of racism is a stark, depressing reminder of how far short of its founding ideals the nation still falls. Even with the legal scaffolding of American racism dismantled—and even with an African-American in the White House—black children live in the poorest neighborhoods and attend the worst schools; they have the lowest chance of graduating college, and the highest risk of incarceration. But after decades of rhetoric and reform, the American education system is failing as an engine of social mobility. The poorest children (black and white alike) receive the worst public education. Achievement ga…

Self-publishing your book is an investment and you should treat it as such. This means before you sit down to write, you need to decide on what path will you take once the novel is complete. So many new authors get overwhelmed by the process because they went in without some sort of plan. They didn't take a class or attend any kind of writing conference so they were screwed from the word go. Now what I am about to tell you is just my EXPERIENCE... so take from what you will and please don'twaste your breath telling me I should be done. Everybody's path is not the same even when everyone is walking the same road. Here are a few things I paid for. And please no…

Leonard Pitts, Jr.. Thankfully one of my eNewsletter subscribers turned me on to Leonard Pitt's latest novel "Freeman". Pitts' is an excellent writer and I have no problem going out on a limb and recommending his latest -- without ever having read it. Sounds crazy, but Pitts is that good. I have to admit that I'm astonished that I have not heard a single thing about this book, other than the email I got today. Actually I'm not really surprised at all, mostly disappointed and frustrated. In 2012 a guy who runs a website, arguably "the" website, on Black books can go completely unaware, for half a year, that a writer of Leonard Pitts' caliber has published a n…

Chapter 1 ​I reclined on the back two legs of my chair; my foot resting on my desk for balance. I sat in my apartment room, a few weeks of school left before the conclusion of the first semester of my final year of College. Half of my attention was on the Lakers game, the other half was on the phone with my mother. She was beckoning for my attention, “Yeah ma, I hear you.” She knew she didn’t have all of it, but that didn’t stop her from talking. Even though I had been away in College for almost five years, she still missed me being around the house. As much as I hated admitting it, I missed her just as much; I was a mama’s boy. ​On the television, Kobe Brya…

Hello, I hope everyone is doing Okay. I wanted to take this moment to throw a question out that I've been curious about. What do you think about the power of the black writer today? Is it more powerful or less powerful? If less powerful why do you think that is? And, what would you say was an era where the black writer was the most powerful? I know I asked more than one question, you can just answer one of them if you want. I'm not demanding answers, these are just thoughts I'm curious about.

Which are your favorite Black owned bookstores? I found a way to sell books which drives sales to an individual independent bookstore.

But if your budget allows, consider the Large Book Cover placement. At $249 for up to 60 days the Large Book Cover is a better deal bang-for-buck.

Working remotely has it’s challenges. I think that when working with an English speaking Freelancer a video chat might be more efficient and effective. Here are two submissions that were created just from email conversations. If you are using images from the internet to express the characteristics you want make sure to let the artist know that the model isn’t your model and should just be used as a reference. This is to avoid copyright issues and complaints of unauthorized use of a persons image. I know that a lot of graphic artist and print shops just grab images from the net and use them on flyers and business cards. As we are maturi…

1933. What do you know about the year 1933. Well, that was a pivotal year in the history of this country. 1933 was the year that this country declared bankruptcy, meaning that it had no money by which to satisfy the debt of foreign, international bankers who had invested heavily in this country. The gold and silver were already gone, so the President closed all the banks. After all what good were the banks when there was no gold or silver to put up as collateral for the debt? That same year, 1933, all the governors held a secret meeting to come up with some sort of collateral that would appease the international bankers. What did they come up with? They p…

(bad link removed) Throughout the history of the internet, Messageboards have been one of the foundational tools people have used to connect with like-minded individuals on the web from all over the world. They have stood the test time, predating the AOL Craze, Myspace, and lasting into what we know as the current generation of Social Media with Powerhouses like Facebook and Twitter. The ability for Online-Forums to last so long is the need for people to have meaningful discussions with a form of depth and anonymity that other forms of Social Media cannot not provide. While the heydey of forums can be considered to be over, the continual prominence of several la…
