1.  Guest:  Clifford Sanders                                Call-in Time:  5 p.m.

Guest summary: Sanders is Professor of Criminology and author of the non-fiction book “We the People:  Forming a More Perfect Union” about the day when America looked beyond color and chose a man of integrity, character, a spirit of inclusion, and the heart of a servant to be the 44th U.S. President.

 

 

Clifford Sanders Bio:

Clifford L. Sanders, Jr. is an author, professor, critical criminologist, manager, consultant, speaker, minister, and co-founder of Anglin, Sanders, & Streeter Criminological Consulting firm. He has extensive experience in the areas of higher education, military service, ministry, public speaking, human services, the courts, juvenile justice, and probation, and brings to the conversation years of policy analysis, provoking thought, exposure of abusive bureaucracies, research, writing, teaching, scholarship, and public service. 

Sanders currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia with his family.

 

About the book: “We the People:  Forming a More Perfect Union”

What a great day when America looked beyond color and chose a man of integrity, character, a spirit of inclusion, and the heart of a servant to be the 44th U.S. President. A working class citizen who rose from humble beginnings, the President believes that a perfect union allows all people of color, class, and socioeconomic backgrounds access to America’s riches. All these things, which make him loved among working Americans are the same reasons he is loathed among men within a secret society who have sworn allegiance to destroy both him and America. In the midst of $18 billion in CEO bonuses, $70 billion in corporate bank bail-outs, in spite of record breaking lay-offs, unemployment, foreclosures, and citizen suffering, the members of this secret society remain wealthy!

 

You may ask, “How is this possible? How could I have been deceived for so long??” The answer is revealed in the pages of this honest and provocative look at America’s politics and the media. Professor of Criminology Clifford Sanders exposes the secret society and how they have controlled politics, America’s beliefs, and the economic system for decades. Everyone who loves America should discover how they are being deceived, manipulated, and destroyed by some of the least likely candidates, Your Representative who swore allegiance to you on election day. Professor Sanders changes the course of the conversation that seeks to place the responsibility of this country’s demise at the feet of President Obama, and instead reminds all Americans about what decisions were made before the 44th President’s inauguration that set our country on a course of destruction.

 

Could the swine flu have been avoided? What decisions did our representatives make on the floor of the Senate that created mass unemployment in the car industry? Are racists hired by networks and paid multi-millions of dollars to keep America distracted and divided along racial lines? Can this country survive the continuous division of this country? Is our President being held to a higher standard by his predecessors? Will you as a country allow yourselves to be fooled AGAIN by these media tactics that attempt to destroy the credibility of President Obama, while never holding his GOP predecessors accountable for the legislation passed that placed us in this predicament? But most of all, can you trust any representative who accepts no responsibility for their actions and the decisions that they make which negatively impact your lives?  A Must Read before the Midterm elections.


        2.  Guest:  Hotep                                              Call-in Time:  5:30 p.m.



Guest summary: Hotep is a Hip-Hop Media Mogul/ Educator/ Filmmaker/ Author/ Speaker/ Music Producer; his two books are “The Hustlers 10 Commandments,” a collection of corporate best practices, ancient wisdom and guerilla tactics for today’s independent minded entrepreneur, and “Hustle While You Work” an entreprenurial success strategy that revolutionizes the old perception of the “dead-end job”.

 

 

ABOUT HOTEP:

During the day Hotep is an elementary school teacher; but this Morehouse College graduate is so much more. Hotep is the founder of HustleUniversity.Org.  Hustle University is an institution of higher learning for today’s Independent Minded Entrepreneur. Hotep is widely recognized for his out-the-box thinking, guerilla marketing

tactics and his unique “common sense” approach to teaching complex business, spiritual and intellectual concepts. His motto is, “Don’t wait for opportunity, CREATE IT”!

 

“People are looking for answers,” says Hotep. “They are tired of the old Secret of Success and Get Rich Quick scams. The way to become successful is not a secret and the only people that get rich quickly are those that are already rich or the lucky few. For the rest of us it’s a matter of Knowing one’s Purpose, Living with Passion and Exerting one’s Power through a lot of hard work or......Hustle!”

 

Under his multimedia company, Skinnymen Productions, Hotep has produced/ directed 2 award-winning documentaries, written 2 books, published a quarterly newspaper, released 4 albums and created a multi-media art exhibit. He independently controls production and distribution of his all his products.

 

When asked why he undertakes so many media projects Hotep explains, “Media is the

most powerful educational tool we have. If you influence what people see, hear and read, then you influence the way they think and therefore the way they behave. This is my way of improving problems in the Hip-Hop and African-American communities, educating through entertainment and mass media.”

 

About the books:

1.  The Hustler’s 10 Commandments is a collection of corporate best practices, ancient wisdom and guerilla tactics for today’s independent minded entrepreneur. They are the 10 common laws used by the world’s most powerful, wealthy and influential people. The Hustler’s 10 Commandments are based off of proven success strategies used by self-

made millionaires, award-winning musicians, independent entrepreneurs, relationship experts, psychologists, educators and spiritual gurus. 

    

Drawing comparisons to Think and Grow Rich, 48 Laws of Power, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Sun Tzu’s timeless classic The Art of War; The Hustler’s 10 Commandments book is like a manual for the intense video game we call, LIFE. It is a reference guide that provides easy answers to difficult questions. Not to be confused for short-cuts, the principals give a clear understanding of the dynamics of the game, which in turn, will ultimately make the reader, a better player. 

Website: www.Hustlers10Commandments.com 

 

 

2.  HUSTLE WHILE YOU WORK is an entrepreneurial success strategy that revolutionizes the old perception of the “dead-end job”. Who ever said you have to choose between working for an employer and working for yourself? Why can’t you do both? Work for an employer AND be self-employed. Hustle while you Work!

 

You’ve probably heard Robert Allen or Robert Kiyosaki discuss the importance of creating Multiple Streams of Income. For the most part, they discuss this in reference to those that are solely entrepreneurs. The fact is though, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO TO MAKE A LIVING, YOU ARE ALWAYS WORKING ON MULTIPLE TASKS. So the same concept of MSI can be applied even if you work a 9 to 5.

 

HUSTLE WHILE YOU WORK places the day job in the context of being a temporary means of security, NOT a lifetime sentence of servitude. This book provides readers with the sure shot strategies to use their job to launch their BUSINESS!  Website: www.HustleWhileYouWork.com

Killing, Murder & Mayhem…. How do I sleep?


From The Michigan Murder and Mayhem blog by founder, Sylvia Hubbard, Author of Suspense and Romance



Ok, i really have to respond to this reader’s question:


All the killing and mayhem going on in your brain, how do you sleep? You have me on tenterhooks! V.


Someone asked me this a while ago when I initially published Stone’s Revenge back in 2004. Matter of fact, the reader called me in the middle of the morning and asked me the same question.



Oddly enough, I had laid the rough draft for Stone’s Revenge when I was only sixteen. William was one of the first dark ominous characters I created and he still scares me to this day.


Similar questions posed to me are, were you abused as a child, did you get bullied a lot, and so on…

Amazon.com and Penguin Group (USA) Announce Third Annual Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Competition
Third annual competition introduces new young adult category and is open to previously self-published works
SEATTLE & NEW YORK, Dec 09, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Penguin Group (USA) (NYSE: PSO) today announced the third annual Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award, the international competition seeking the next popular novel. For the first time, the competition will award two grand prizes: one for general fiction and one for best young adult novel. The 2010 competition will also now be open to novels that have been previously self-published. Writers around the world are encouraged to begin preparing their manuscripts for entry into the competition, which is scheduled to launch on Jan. 25, 2010.

"We are looking forward to working with Penguin again to engage a whole new group of novelists for the third annual Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award," said Jeff Belle, Amazon.com's vice president, U.S. Books. "By offering two grand prizes and providing additional opportunities for self-published authors, we'll be able to support an even larger group of talented authors and their work."

"The success of the competition in discovering new writers has led to exciting growth and new directions in this third year, including the addition of a young adult prize. This development is in response to the writing community, and it enables Penguin and Amazon to discover new fiction for readers of all ages," said Tim McCall, Penguin's vice president of Online Sales and Marketing.

Between Jan. 25 and Feb. 7, 2010, writers with an English-language novel manuscript can submit their work at www.amazon.com/abna. Up to 10,000 total initial entries will be accepted, with up to 5,000 each in the general fiction and young adult categories. Amazon.com editors will select 1,000 entries from each category to advance to the next round. In the subsequent round, Amazon.com editors and at least one top reviewer on Amazon.com will read excerpts of the 2,000 entries and narrow the pool to 500 quarter-finalists (250 in each category). Reviewers from Publishers Weekly will then read, rate and review the full manuscripts, and 50 semi-finalists for each category will be selected. Penguin editors will evaluate the manuscripts of the 50 general fiction and 50 young adult semi-finalists, and choose three finalists for each award.

Two panels of esteemed publishing professionals will then read and post their critiques of the top three manuscripts on www.amazon.com. The panel for the general fiction category includes Tana French, New York Times-bestsellingauthor of "In the Woods"; Julie Barer, of Barer Literary, LLC; and Molly Stern, editorial director and executive editor of Viking Books. The panel for the young adult category includes New York Times-bestsellingauthors Sarah Dessen ("Along for the Ride") and Nancy Werlin ("Impossible"); Amy Berkower, president of Writers House, LLC; and Ben Schrank, president and publisher of Razorbill. In the final stage, Amazon.com customers will have seven days to vote for a Grand Prize Winner in each category. The two Grand Prize Winners will be announced in Seattle on June 14, 2010. Each winner will receive a publishing contract with Penguin, which includes a $15,000 advance.

The 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award competition drew several thousand entrants, representing all 50 U.S. states and 21 countries around the world. The winning novel, "Bill Warrington's Last Chance"by James King, will be published in August 2010 by Viking, a division of Penguin Group (USA).

CreateSpace.com, part of the Amazon group of companies and a leader in self-publishing services, will again host the contest entry platform, which includes a community for authors that will keep them up to date on the contest and help them prepare their entries by soliciting feedback from the community and accessing online content through Preview. CreateSpace will also offer all entrants one free proof copy of their novel, and 10 percent off any one service for a limited time.

"We're thrilled to once again be working with both Amazon.com and Penguin on the third annual Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award--and for the first time to be including authors of fiction for young adults. As the foremost book review publication for the publishing industry, Publishers Weekly sets the standard in offering early insight on the work of new authors. It's a pleasure to bring our expertise and perspective to bear on the new talent that will be a part of the 2010 competition," said Brian Kenney, editorial director, Publishers Weekly.

I have written freelance articles for American Visions Magazine about the Underground Railroad, Learning Magazine, Detroiter Magazine, The Detroit News, and American Profile Magazine--a Sunday national supplement.



 

I was chosen to participate in the American Film Institute’s Summer Dramatic Scriptwriting Workshop, The Warner Brother’s Regional Comedy Development Workshop, and the Sundance Institute’s Children’s Playwriting Workshop, three of the most prestigious workshops on film and playwriting in the country.


 

I have written for stage and screen including the PBS Wonderworks movie, Brother Future, which won a Director’s Guild Award, a CEBA Award of Distinction and a National Programming Award.



 

My  book, The Sanctuary, Cobblehill, 1994, was chosen as one of the 400 best children’s books for that year and was optioned by Producer Bill Blinn (Fame), and Sundance. Although the book is out of print, Amazon sells used copies. 



 

Two monologues from the play are included in Childsplay, an anthology of children’s play monologues. Listen as two young actors do one of the monologues.

 

The Sanctuary was also the basis for a children’s grief and bereavement program at Detroit’s Children’s Center, funded by the National Funeral Directors Association.

 

As a producer and writer, I wrote the documentary: Black Communities After the Civil War: Echoes Across the Prairie: a documentary about Oklahoma’s black towns, which won a 1998 Gold Apple Award at the National Educational Media Network and was part of two museum displays. I am the producer and writer of a series of college “vignettes” for cell phone downloads in China called American Life, retitled: Crazy English.



 

My non-fiction book, Slave Uprisings and Runaways: Fighting for Freedom and the Underground Railroad, was published by Enslow Publishers in 2004. I have finished working on a Young Adult fiction book on the Underground Railroad. And am writing a contemporary fiction book about an energy healer.

 

I taught writing and scriptwriting at Wayne State University and currently teach at the University of Detroit Mercy, where I am now the Director of the African American Studies Program. I also teach scriptwriting for various workshops and writing forums. 





        2.  Guest:  Dangerous Lee            Call-in Time:  5:30 p.m.

Guest summary: Lee is multi-talented, and author of her current self-published book “Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down,” and the short erotic story “Till Death Do Us Part.” 

 

Dangerous Lee Bio:

 

Dangerous Lee is an author, actor, activist, painter, and internet radio personality. Her short erotic story "Till Death Do Us Part" was featured in Zane's NY Times Best Selling "Succulent - Chocolate Flava 2". Dangerous Lee also runs her own internet radio show "Ask Dangerous Lee Live" and has co-hosted The Radio Happy Hour with Dr. Blogstein, both on the Blog Talk Radio network. She has left internet radio behind to focus on self publishing her first book, "Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down", a book of erotic short stories with an emphasis on HIV education.

 

About the book “Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down”:

 

“Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down” is a guide to exciting safe sex. Through the six tales contained in this book you will be entertained, educated, and eroticized.

The title of the book are words my grandmother said to me and her other granddaughters when we were growing up as a warning to not have sex.  After all, if you’re not equipped with the knowledge of the bad things that can happen when you have good sex you should not be having sex. This book is dedicated to her memory.

Working in HIV prevention I have learned a lot and I have had the pleasure of sharing my knowledge with thousands of people. With this book I want to reach millions more, not simply for fame and fortune but because millions of people lack the need to know information contained in the pages of this book.

People aged 13-24 have the highest new HIV infection rates and African Americans and Latinos have the highest infection rates in the United States. I equate a huge chunk of this problem with the lack of prevention education and sex education in our schools. Abstinence only programs do us no good. Abstinence is fine, but we must also educate ourselves and our babies with the proper information so that when they’re ready to get busy they can do it safely.

We must keep it real when we discuss sex and inside the pages of “Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down” I get real nasty, real sexy, real deep, and speak the real truth about HIV.




3.  Guest:  Tamara Patterson                             Call-in Time:  5:50 p.m.

Guest summary: Patterson is the author of non-fiction book “Issues of the Heart.”

 

Tamara Patterson Bio:

 

Tamara McLaughlin Patterson grew up in a large southern family as the seventh of eight children. Though she did not fully appreciate the sharing, the bickering, and the crowded bed space that defined her family life back then, she has grown to love and value her past experiences.  "It is a combination of those good times, bad times, and the people God surrounded me with, that have strongly influenced my life. Though growing up poor was not always a bed of roses, I would never change a thing.  It is those struggles that are responsible for my compassion, my willingness to give, my ability to be patient, my appreciation for the little things and my desire to love, regardless of the circumstances."

  

Tamara is a licensed minister at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Greensboro, NC under the leadership of Bishop George W. Brooks.  Called to the offices of teacher and evangelist, she has earned an associate's degree in Biblical Studies and is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in the same, at One In Christ Bible College in Greensboro.

 

With her husband, Julian, Tamara served in the Deacons' Ministry at Mt. Zion for over five years (until answering God's call to preach the Gospel) and co-facilitates a premarital class, "Before You Say I Do".  She has two adorable step -children, Jermaine and Arthur, and a wonderful godson, Charlie (Devin).  Her inspiration comes from the many friends, family members, co-workers, and acquaintances who have entrusted her with their issues, because they value Godly counsel.

 

About the book “Issues of the Heart”

In a world where women are more educated, more powerful, and more equipped to succeed than ever before, it's ironic that so many beautiful, intelligent, and influential women find themselves in situations of deceit, abuse and self-destruction.  The first purpose of Issues of the Heart is to help women take a long, hard, and analytical second look at their current involvements - and not only ask, how did I get here?  But, should I remain here?  Second, Issues of the Heart provides wisdom, strength, and encouragement, through sound biblical instruction, to recognize, and then move from, bad situations to deliverance, emotional healing and spiritual peace.

 

Addressing issues that women deal with regulary, but far too often considered taboo in the church, Issues of the Heart covers a variety of topics: sex; poor choices in men; death; eating disorders; the absence of the father;  being a responsible employee; and others.  In this awesome collection of poetry, straight talk, applicable scriptures, and powerful prayers of deliverance, the overall message remains the same:  Regardless of your past, your mistakes, your pains, or regrets, God desires to give you peace, and heal the issues of your heart.

Book Publishing - Three Reasons to Choose Traditional Publishing

Posted: 28 Nov 2009 06:34 AM PST

If you look at the state of publishing today, sometimes it's hard to see why anyone would want to go the traditional/commercial route. After all, it can take months to years to get a manuscript accepted and big names get the most attention and prime shelf space. Even though all that is true, and there are other downsides as well, there are still reasons to choose this option. Here are three to
