Legacy Lost

Gone are the days of the Red, Black, and Green. A time when Gil Scott, Nikki Giovanni, and Curtis Mayfield reminded us to keep on pushing.

Brother Johnson, I am pleased to have another Philly homey as a friend. I downloaded, "The Case Of The Death Dealer" onto my Kindle. It was a good read. Would you send me an email so I can comment further. My email is rey@afrocyberspace.com. I am from Germantown/Mt.Airy. Where did you reside in the city? I look forward to hearing from you. Solomon Jones has done some excellent fiction writing with Philadelphia as a back drop.

Dr. Rey

Advice on Exploring Erotica in Your Writing

MediaBistro's Morning Media Menu had a conversation with author Jamie Brenner about advice for writers looking to explore this newly crowded genre. An excerpt from Brenner: My first erotic novel came out two years ago. The landscape feels completely different. There is not just the hope to reach a mainstream audience with erotic novel, but the expectation that success is reaching everyone, not just the genre readers. Fifty Shades of Grey really raised the bar for that. At the same time, working…See More
