LOVE SENSATIONAL
It’s the rumbling in your tummy at the mere mention of a name.
It’s a spirit awakening,
More like a soul quaking feeling you are scared to claim.
And although it can be as intimately blissful as heaven up above
It’s not a place for the naïve …and it takes far more than for you to just believe
So please…Do Not Sensationalize Love!
When it’s REAL, it’s that DEAL...almost too terrific to trust,
What it can’t be is based solely upon passionately… Continue

- Greetings Fellow Authors,
Join us November 5th thru 7th at the Northland Shopping Mall in Southfield, Michigan for the International Urban Book Festival, Detroit. A great place to sell books and teach young people the importance of reading. We have rented the entire shopping mall to get our message across to the young at risk generation. Reading is essential! Let's all encourage our youth to read at least two books per week. Let's encourage parents to make this a family mandate.
Meet and network with celebrity authors, purchasing agents from schools, libraries and major corporations plus other members of the literary community. We will hold literary workshops, panel discussions, lectures, seminars and classes on self publishing. We have 200 author tables now available, but they are certain to sell out quickly. The cost for the three day weekend is only $225. Author tables are 2' by 4' skirted with two chairs. Out of state attendees may receive discounts on hotel rooms by logging onto our website after September 2, 2010.
This is certain to be a fun filled event. Don't miss it.
Call us at (313) 446-2262 or log onto www.iubf.net Facebook

Diane posted a blog postAdvice 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
