April 2010 Book Sales

My publisher reports that I continue to be his best selling author on Amazon.com.  Watch out JK Rawlings.  I'm trying to join your club. 

Seriously, I want to thank everyone who has bought my book and taken the time to come to this website and learn more about my book.  Together we can get this book on the radar where it belongs.

I hope all of those that bought the book will write a review.

My Book to Be Used to Teach Young People Financial Literacy

My novel has been chosen by Dr. Louverta Hurt, retired CPS educator and head of Congressman Danny K Davis' Education Task Force to be used this summer by 25 Upward Bound students (15 is the maximum number in a group) to learn Financial Literacy, Economic Development, Business Creation and Entrepreneurship.  Dr. Hurt is a certified Great Book instructor.   Although my novel isn't a "Great Book", she can opt to pick whatever material she wants to use.  

What is a Great Book?  The Great Books Foundation promotes reading, thinking, and the sharing of ideas for people of all ages. Since 1947, the Foundation has helped millions of people make the reading and discussion of literature a lifelong source of enjoyment, personal growth, and social engagement.

I am going to help work out the lesson plan.   My minor in college was education.   I will keep folks updated as the time approaches and how it goes.

Blogtalk Radio Interview

I was interviewed by Cyrus Webb. 

MY BOOK WAS PROFESSIONALLY REVIEWED!

I sent a number of books out to different people for it to be reviewed. APOOO (A PLACE OF OUR OWN) BOOK CLUB agreed to review the book. It was very intimidating to get an email from them saying that if one of their reviewers like the synopsis of the book, only then would they be willing to read it.

Well someone did agree to read my book and she gave me FOUR STARS!

Here's the link.

Literacy Event at Marquette School

I attended a literacy event at Marquette School this past Tuesday. It was so wonderful to see all the young children and hear of their dreams and apirations. Their featured guest was Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Clarence Page. So you all know I had to get a picture of him and me with my book.
