Bring Writers & Readers Together

Throughout his engineering pursuits and business activities, Gene continued to write and dream of being a published and a fulltime author. In 1996, that dream was realized. Gene has written 7 novels ( four published) and several screenplays. For two years, his book tour for 'I Never Played Catch With My Father,' took him from coast to coast:

He has appeared on numerous television and radio programs, including Oprah, NPR stations and countless tv morning shows, news and sports shows. He has been the subject of numerous newspaper and magazine articles. Gene was the featured author in Ebony Magazine in the November '97 issue.

Ebay for Books?

Where are your books available for purchase? Amazon? That's great but are you lost among the hundreds of millions of books there? And, Amazon takes such a large chunk of your book sales. Fine, if you do not have a way of selling on your site, and fulfilling your own orders.

What about your own web site?
Do you have a great web site?
How many people know where you are?
Is your site SEO (search engine optimized?)

The truth is, it is often better to… Continue

'...the beautiful, sweat-soaked black girl. She sat slouched...'

He paused, glanced back at the beautiful, sweat-soaked black girl. She
sat slouched in the passenger seat, breathing heavily, staring into her
lap with vacant eyes. Her bra was back in place now, but much of her
taut, flawless, creamy-brown skin was still exposed.

At 12 years old, Deborah Yvonne Davis had the sweet, innocent face
of a young girl, but the fetching body of a woman, years older. It was her
blessing and her curse.

Jonathan stared long and hard, savoring the sight of her. His bowed… Continue

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.
Spam is unsolicited advertising, whether it is posted as comments on other members' pages or is emailed for marketing purposes.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.
SPAMMING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED
