  1. This was number 30. I don't do many events anymore and concentrate on ebooks. I'm trying to define a new niche.
  2. Everyone has done something at one point in their lives when they think – I can’t tell mama about this. Twenty-four year old Tanesha Green comes home to visit her mother and had a massive “Things I Can’t Tell Mama” experience when she meets her mother’s new fiancé, KJ, who turns out to be the man she lived with for 3 years while she was in college. The second in the “Things You Can’t Tell Mama” series – Her Man Was Once Yours - is the story of how a young woman feels trapped by circumstances because her old lover is her mother’s new fiancé, Kevin Mason. Tanesha struggles with her feelings about Kevin and how or if she will tell her mother Jasmine about her past with Kevin. This explosive situation comes to a head with surprising results. http://amzn.to/10JNND6
  3. The first in the “Things You Can’t Tell Mama” series – The Pastor’s Wife - is the story of how a young man becomes entangled with the wife of the pastor of his mother’s church, Latavia Harper, during his time home from college during summer break. It turns out there is hidden tension in the home of Pastor Harper and Latavia uncovers a secret about her husband that blows the lid off their marriage, church and her relationship with Quinton. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DGET9VI/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_RRrWrb1KP4DKP

  6. It's been a while, but it was october 2007. When I did a google seach an old post from the old AALBC website came up with a discussion of the Essence list and I had posted about on that thread.
  7. I Want To Be Openly Gay – Free Limited Time http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CW2WMM8/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_zrIMrb0XNRXRD
  8. Did it ever cross anyone's mind that the author may be FROM a small town in Texas, which I am. I write about what I am familiar with. D T Pollard
  9. Eight year old Dillon Roberts threatens to create a crisis in his small town when he tells his teacher he wants to be openly gay when he grows up. http://www.prlog.org/12140839-want-to-be-openly-gay-released-by-book-express.html
  10. Thanks for participating in the kickoff for my new book Ratchet Woman. Over 8,400 copies of the book were downloaded during the free promotion that has ended.

  11. Ratchet Woman – Free limited Time – Four Star http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00COSW6JY
  12. Everybody has heard Charles Ramsey's name by now. He helped three women escape from a house next door that had been missing for ten years in Cleveland, Ohio. I knew from the moment he started to get a lot of media attention, someone would try to dig up dirt on him and tear him down and it has happened already. Domestic abuse arrests of Ramsey from over ten years ago were dug up by a media company. We really need to examine our culture of finding fault with everything and everyone. http://pollardpost.blogspot.com/2013/05/charles-ramsey-punished-thats-why.html
  13. My new book Ratchet Woman takes a new angle on a form of women bashing that is widespread today. Single women are ofter targeted and criticized when they make somewhat questionable choices in order to survive and often care for children without the help of the fathers. One term often thrown around when a woman seems to be wedged into a bad situation originated out of popular culture and it is the word Ratchet. Ratchet cover a wide range of behaviors and situations, but often those using it had a hand in placing their targets in those life situations to begin with. http://www.prlog.org/12133532-ratchet-woman-released-by-book-express.html
  14. The Gun God – Human Sacrifices is released by Book Express examines the culture of guns and gun violence in the United States. Recent mass shootings have set the stage for a fight over guns, money and the Second Amendment. http://www.prlog.org/12059601-the-gun-god-human-sacrifices-released-by-book-express.html
  15. The Presidential election is coming up in November. In October the jobless rate, the lowest in 44 months, is back where it was when President Obama took the oath office. That means President Obama has cleaned up much of the prior damage done by Republicans, now they want to move back into the White House and tear things up again with the same behavior that destroyed everything the last time around. Don’t allow President Obama to be the Republican’s garbage man. http://pollardpost.blogspot.com/2012/10/dont-make-president-obama-republicans.html
  16. Mitt Romney's America - No Trespassing By The 47% - Free Download – Limited Time http://www.amazon.com/Mitt-Romneys-America-Trespassing-ebook/dp/B009HL54XG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349024617&sr=8-1&keywords=mitt+romney%27s+america+-+no+trespassing
  17. The 911 call that lead to the arrest of former Miami Dolphin’s wide receiver Chad Johnson on charges of possible domestic violence against his Basketball Wives wife Evelyn Lozada has been released. The argument started over a condom receipt found in Johnson’s Smart car. http://youtu.be/3l26mXOGHzk
  18. Nothing clears your head like calling out hypocrisy and shameful pandering to a powerful interest group. These are the times when you know who is really running the government and it’s not regular citizens. One glaring example is the reactions to the real issues of actual gun deaths versus almost nonexistent real voter fraud. http://pollardpost.blogspot.com/2012/07/why-are-voters-controlled-more-than-guns.html
  19. The United States is nearing a crossroads that may determine if we have a chance to reclaim the promise of the American dream or slide closer to a two-tier society of rich and poor. http://www.amazon.com/Beans-Caviar-America-Selling-ebook/dp/B008MYXTS6/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1342793879&sr=1-1&keywords=beans+or+caviar
  20. As I said in my post, black bookstores already draw from a much smaller base to begin with. A larger base allows some white bookstores to survive even with reduced traffic. Black bookstore were already on the edge when they had less competition.
  21. I had to chime in on this. The reasons that African American bookstores are closing is both simple and complex at the same time. one big reason is the shift in what entertains us. Black bookstores already relied on a narrow section of the reading public and that segment aged and those coming behind them had other interests in entertainment such as music and videos. Given the low rate of graduation in the AA community, where are the new readers coming from. AA bookstores are getting ground up in the fight betweent retailing giants Amazon, Walmart, Target and Barnes & Noble who sell books at prices less than small store can buy at wholesale. The loss of independent authors to the new technology of ebooks that cost nothing to produce and distribute really hurt those stores that were hanging on. I can produce my books in print and/or digital format, but the cost of digital product is $0 and my titles are worldwide in one day. The Kindle and Nook allows independent bookstores no way to share in revenue. There are no book signings or consignment sales with ebooks. It is a tough story, but it is a tough world to survive in.
