As I type these words, I’m preparing for
one of the most exciting experiences
in my life--The Cavalcade of Authors
hosted at the Atlantis Resorts in Paradise
Island, Bahamas. Several book clubs on
the island were invited to come out and
meet authors from the States who pen
novels that they are certain to enjoy. Hat
tip to: Reading Between the Wines, The
Renegade Sistas, Serious Readers, and
A Novel Bunch as well as Dorcas Bowler
of the Bahamas Library. Photos start on
Page 36.
This issue is especially dedicated to the
craft of writing, but also gives a nod to
literature that reaches and covers the
African Diaspora. Introducing romance
novelist, J. L. Campbell, our Caribbean
Literary Jewel, who hails from the
beautiful Island of Jamaica. She, too, is
venturing from one warm romantic space
to visit the Bahamas and then to Chicago
for the Cavalcade next year. Karen
Bradley pens an experience of the ups
and downs of writing a novel with her
sister. Shannan Harper of Harper’s Court
has an awesome review of Terri Ann
Johnson’s Faith Alone.
On a sad note, we say farewell to one of
our literary angels.
Additionally, I’d like to introduce you to
a uniquely talented group of authors
that are aptly named, NK’s Tribe Called
Success. Pages 42 and beyond gives
you a taste of the most awesome
literary offerings that you’ll find in two
anthologies: Sugar and Spice. This issue
has a little something for everyone.
Safe travels through your journey;
wherever it may take you.
