VIDEO POD-EXCERPT!--Highly acclaimed poet and Urban Christian author Hank Stewart with 3:57 A.M. TIMING IS EVERYTHING-- Essie Mae Richardson is an elderly, wise, and church-going soul. She lives alone, but spends most of her time worrying about those around her. Using God's guidance and wisdom, Essie keeps an eye on things happening around her and when the time is right, reaches out to those who don't even know they need her. Mason and Elaine Demps are going through the motions of marriage. Elaine's need for more than financial support from her husband overwhelms her after she meets a handsome mechanic who shows an interest in her. Colin and Angel Stephens are happily married and expecting their first child, yet one careless mistake changes the tone of their marriage and possibly the outcome of Angel's pregnancy. Jennifer Mays is a single mother to Jerrod, her teenage son who she simply doesn't understand. Jerrod is holding on to past hurts that will send him to his destruction if they aren't resolved. Quite innocently, Ms. Essie touches each family in her own special way. Co-written with Kendra Norman Bellamy.

Trouble is, T.K. is just as naïve as any other man when it comes to women—especially slick, bible-toting, man-hungry church women.

Then there’s Monique Johnson, First Lady of Plastic Surgery and Implants. The only thing real about Monique is how much she wants T.K. Next is Savannah Dickens, the church’s attractive new choir soloist, who’s also the daughter of a prominent church elder. And last but not least is Charlene’s good friend, Sister Lisa Mae Johnson, widow of Pastor Lee Jones. With the help of her friend Alison, Charlene anticipates any scenario that might occur in a series of letters addressed to the lucky ladies. Alison has vowed to keep an eye on T.K.’s social life and deliver them as needed. No one else knows about the letters, but rest assured, they will shake up a whole lot of people. Charlene may soon be gone, but her presence will be felt… Brought to you by TriCom Podcast, dedicated to putting Authors and Bookclubs In Your Pocket (tm)...http://www.bookclubinyourpocket.com

EXCLUSIVE WORLD PREMIER VIDEO PODCAST! Featuring Multi-platinum rap star C-Murder, writing as Corey Miller, telling a gritty, compelling, and unforgettable story of surviving on the deadly streets of New Orleans in his debut novel, DEATH AROUND THE CORNER. DEATH AROUND THE CORNER is a work of fiction, written during C-Murder’s recent incarceration. It is the story of a young man named Daquan growing up in the troubled but close-knit community of New Orleans’s Third Ward. It is a cautionary tale of how easily an innocent youth can become a hardened criminal in the harsh environment of the CP3. The seductive allure of fast cash, sex, and violence leads to a world where even the closest friends are not who they seem to be. As the author writes in the book’s epilogue, “I survived and stayed true to my man’s memory, ’cause I thought y’all oughta know, ya dig? Just in case there’s any young Daquans out there, always remember, no matter where you go or how far you get, death is always…right around the corner!” While the novel evokes a lost world that is fast vanishing in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the struggle depicted here is a universal one...

Second, in San Francisco, single mom Cassie Derringer wants just one thing for Christmas: To give her son his father. When she finds a note in the Mrs. Claus suit that reads: “This suit brings luck. Go with it,” she’s on her way. Third, it’s bah, humbug in Santaland. As heir to the Rossman’s dynasty, the only Christmas spirit Meredith Rossman feels is the kind brought on by ringing cash registers. Dressed as Mrs. Claus, Meredith can keep an eye on operations and on Nick, the Christmas-hire Santa. Something about Nick inspires her to be a better person, to wish again...and to sit on Santa’s lap.

Nancy’s newest novel, ELECTRIC BLUE, is the second in the Jane Kelly series of romantic mysteries, following Candy Apple Red.

Judy Merrill Larsen teaches high school English in St. Louis, Missouri, where she lives with her husband and five children. She holds a master’s degree from Washington University.
