Ok, I LOVE Kimberla Roby, Reshonda Billingslea and Carl Weber books, so I am so looking forward to their new books that will be coming out this year. But, over Christmas break I had the opportunity to read a book by an independent author--who isn't with a publishing house and the book was REALLY good!!! The book was called "Scandalous" by Redd Underwood. At first, I was very leery, b/c I had never heard of this author, plus, the author was not through a major book publisher. However, I could not put the book down. The author has a website www.denitadaniels.com. The book is listed at $15.95, but the author is willing to sale for $20.00 (book and shipping). My friend is starting a book club and she said that the author was willing to give book club members a discount. I recommend this book. Another plus was that I appreciated supporting this independent author.

Do you have an url that links through to a review?

I don't have a url for a review. A friend recommended the book to me. The author has a link on facebook...it's their name Redd Underwood. Also, I ran across a blog that they have (www.reddunderwood.blogspot.com). Like I said, I thought that it was a great book and after viewing their site, I saw that others thought that it was good too. Maybe you can contact the author for that information.

Two of the season's "must reads" are Friendly Enterprise, a crime thriller and its follow-up, Dirty Lies in the Name of God", a murder mystery. Both feature David Jason, an African American attorney, who has an uncanny knack for getting invovled in adventure after adventure. Go to the websites www.hdafriendly.com and www.hdadirtylies.com for a snaeak preview of these tautly written stories.
