Barnes and Noble Book Signing

On Saturday, November 8, 2008, I'm having my first ever Barnes and Noble book signing. Strange, but true. This book signing is special to me. You may be wondering how that's possible.

Anyway, the event will take place at Camp Creek Market Place in East Point, Georgia from 2:00-4:00 p.m. Please come out and show your support. B&N is one of those stores that uses sales to determine whether or not an author will be invited back. So… Continue

I'm a Radio Talk Show Host

I have some exciting news to share. An associate of mine informed me that he recently accepted a position as a producer at a radio station. Well, I casually mentioned to him that I had been thinking about going into radio but didn't know how. He immediately contacted me to tell me about a Saturday on air slot that was available. Long story short, he hooked me up with the general manager. So, I'll be hosting a talk show from 12:30-1:

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…

Because Sophia has made false claims! She said she won the case and that turned out to be a flat out lie! Why on earth would be you surprised she is now being scrutinized after misleading many?
