Thought you might be interested in my book THE BLACK RUSSIAN, which will be published by Atlantic Monthly Press/Grove-Atlantic in March 2013. It's about the remarkable Frederick Bruce Thomas, the son of former Mississippi slaves who became a millionaire theatrical entrepreneur in pre-Revolutionary Moscow and was the first to import jazz to Constantinople, where he died in 1928. There's some more information on my web page: www.valexandrov.com

Charisse of The Book Look interviews singing sensation and new author, LEDISI!

I love Ledisi! That sista is simply amazing. Hearing her from the heart lyrics is enough to convince me that she has the potental to write a book that would be worth my picking up.. I will be doing just that, too. "Never forget the root of who you are; where you come from." -Ledisi

Very compelling observations, Troy. As soon as I sort out my thoughts, I will respond in a separate post.
