    Sorry I’ve been away so long. I’ve been entirely toooooo busy.

    Anywhooo, in your Black Romance group, we’ll be reading Protect and Serve by Gwyneth Bolton next and start discussing it on 10 Oct. Now go ahead and purchase Gwen’s book now, even if you plan on reading it late, because it is a Harlequin book and you know they can be difficult to find.

    Have you heard about all the fun we had at the 2008 Romance Slam Jam? Well that’s NOTHING compared to what’s coming in 2010.

    It’s Romance Slam Jam’s Crystal Anniversary! Our theme is Back to the Future with Rochelle Alers as our keynote speaker! Everyone is Welcome To Join the Romance Slam Jam Crystal Anniversary Celebration Cruise departing from Miami, Florida, Sunday April 10th, 2010. We will be embarking on the five day Carnival Cruise to Ocho Rios, Jamaica and Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands on the “Destiny” Fun Ship.

    Spread the word

    Hello! Nice to meet you. Thanks so much for reading my books. I really appreciate it and I hope that you enjoy Rhythms of Grace too. I haven't been to Norfolk in a while but I enjoy it there. I signed at Heaven and Earth bookstore last time. The Christian radio station there had me out as part of their book club. Tell every one in the Beauty Shop Book Club that I say hello.

    blessings,

    Here's what's happening in your Black Romance Group. Please join us in discussion.

    Romance Slam Jam 2008
    Happy New Year,

    I hope everyone is enjoying our book club selection "When I'm with you" by LaConnie Taylor Jones. We'll start discussing it on 5 February.

    Let's talk about the Romance Slam Jam. For those of you who are like what? It's THE event for readers and authors of Black Romance. Check out the website at http://www.romanceslamjamconference.com

    It's the one place readers and authors of Black romance are celebrated. I hope to see all of you there!

    So those of you who have gone, tell the others about it. Those of you who have never attended. Shoot your questions on for the rest of us to answer.

    Peace
    Deatri

    I pray you had a fantastic holiday. Whew, I’m still fat and fluffy.

    In the Black Romance group, we discussed Topaz by Beverly Jenkins and had a BALL. Beverly came in and hung out with us. ‘Cilla lead the discussion and did an awesome job.

    Now it’s time to select our next Black romance read. We take two months to read, then discuss the book. So drop on by and participate. We’re looking for a debut author of Black romance.

    Peace

    Howdy!

    I know it’s been a while since I said HI, so I thought I’d drop on by. There is a new discussion topic in your Black Romance group: Real Live Romance

    Come on over and give us some real life examples of something romantic, of love at first site (notice I said love, not lust SMILE).

    Don't be scurrrrrrd. Romance isn't dead. Tell us what you've seen/experienced out there.

    And don’t forget that 15 November we start discussing Topaz by Beverly Jenkins. I’m working on a treat for the participants.

    Peace

    YESTERDAY, I RECEIVED LIMITED COPIES OF DUTCH III (THE FINALE') . AVAILABLE FOR SALE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IN FACT, THIS COMING SATURDAY NIGHT, WE'RE GONNA CELEBRATE WITH A PRIVATE PARTY.
    YOU WANT IN? GET BACK AT ME/RSVP!

    DUTCH III (THE FINALE’) IS NOT AVAILABLE THROUGH MAJOR DISTRIBUTION AND COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE AUTHOR HIMSELF. KWAME HAS BEEN IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH ME FOR A FEW DAYS NOW, AND WE HAVE DISCUSSED "THE MOVEMENT" AND HOW THE STREETS NEED TO HAVE THIS BOOK BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. I’M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON REGARDING HIS NEGOTIATIONS WITH TERI WOODS. AND I HAVE REACHED OUT TO TERI TO CHAT ABOUT IT. BUT IN THE END, THAT'S ALSO NONE OF MY BUSINESS. IN THE END, THIS IS AN UNDERGROUND BOOK (A PRODUCT); PURE PRODUCT THAT COMES DIRECTLY FROM ONE MAN, KWAME TEAGUE. DO THE RESEARCH, AND YOU'LL SEE INTERVIEWS AND ARTICLES RELATING TO THIS MAN, WHO'S STRUGGLE IS ONLY TO FEED HIS AUDIENCE ANDTELL HIS STORY.

    AND SO, IN RELENTLESS FASHION, I PRESENT TO YOU DUTCH III, (THE FINALE') PART THREE IN THE TRILOGY BASED ON THIS MAN'S BEST SELLING BOOKS. THE BOOKS WILL BE $15, AND WILL BE AVAILABLE VIA PHONE ORDER, EMAIL, PAY PAL, VISA/MASTERCARD/AMEX, AS WELL AS IN THE STREETS WHERE WE USUALLY MARKET OUR BOOKS. YOU CAN ALSO COME TO OUR PRIVATE PARTY WHERE A COPY WILL BE HELD FOR THOSE WHO RSVP.

    MY NUMBER IS
    646-245-0681

    Afield the echoes scream,
    Deep within the alluvian of the African soul
    Squat and croaking in my conciousness
    things about arts found only in dreams
    trying to access my share
    of the brotherhood questions
    that pain has sought to kill

    Cast Your Favorite Black Romance!

    Because of your vast knowledge and love of Black Romance, a top Hollywood producer has come to you and asked you to choose the movie cast for the on screen production of your favorite Black Romance novel. Oh yes. Your word is FINAL.

    Soooooo, tell us. What is the name of the Black Romance novel. Who will you have playing the hero and who will play the heroine. (and since you are the casting director, yes you can put yourself in a role. LOL).

    Now come on over to your Black Romance Group and have some fun with us.

    Peace
