I did the Baltimore Book Festival last year and sold a lot of books. The crowd was very diverse but everyone was buying. I hope to do it again this year. I have an event on the May 9th date for the PG event. However, I am trying to change the date.
Take care,
JJ
I didn't sell any books, and from the looks of things, neither did most of the other authors. Those who were in charge of the advertising really dropped the ball. I don't know if I'll do another one with them.
However, I do plan to register for the Baltimore Book Festival. It will be my first time there. I missed it last year because I didn't know about it, and I was doing a book signing at Karibu.
Take care,
James
You were very helpful for me at the book signing. It was great sharing a table with you. I am registered for the next two Afrocentric Book Expos at the Mall at Prince Georges.
Take care,
James
Since you live in the DC area I will probably see you at one of the events. I would love to meet your sister when she comes to town.
Be blessed!

Thanks so much for the information and congratulations on your book.
I love the beauty of Arizona. I have always loved the peace and tranquility of the mountains. When I lived in Maryland, I would drive to the Blue Ridge Mountains on the weekends and just enjoy the scenic view. I am now surrounded by the Superstition Mountains and I love it. I have not yet had an opportunity to visit Sedona; however, I hear that it is absolutely beautiful. I have plans to visit soon.
Let's keep in touch. I visit Maryland every year. Hopefully we'll have an opportunity to maybe meet for tea during my visit later this year.
Make every day a great day!

It was nice meeting you at The Mall at Prince Georges, for the Afrocentric Book Expo, and sharing a table with you.
Take care,
James J.
You left a message for Diane in my box, I am Wanda, we met Saturday at the Expo. You provided me with so much great info for my sistah, who is the author. I just wanted to make sure that Diane received your comments. Peace and continued blessings...
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support and encouragement. I met Diane Williams and she is awesome, I also had my sistah, who is the author, to speak to Diane. I feel sooo good right now...I have tried to be the supportive one for my sistah on this journey, but it can be a little scary. However, when God/Universe send a guiding light to show us the way, I am so thankful and grateful. Again, I am happy to have met you and look forward to seeing you again.
I would chat longer, but I have to go purchase my book, "It's Not Over Yet" by J.J. Michael :). Talk to you soon.....
Wanda/Andaiye
