E Lynn Harris...

well dang dedee tell us how you really feel

 Really my heart hurts....I did not mean to be insensitive or cruel...forgive me...that was the writer side of me coming out....I don't expect everyone to like my writing....the same with Bebe (RIP), I have her books, but can't read them....the same with Rosalyn Mc...Terry's sister...can't read them....plot, setting, irony....I look for many things....if I have to skim the book....that is indication it is just part of my library and not a all-nighter (read within 24 hours of reading the flaps).

But I am going to buy the two everyone keeps speaking of and try to read then ~try~

Thank you Rhonda oh Google Master.   I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't know who he was and I read at least 1-2 hrs a night predominately black authors. Rhonda helped me out the other day about something that happened in my hometown and I couldn't get my family on the phone and she googled it. That meant so much to me because I never would have thought of it. Thanks Rhonda.

WOW .... I just finished Just Too Good to be true ! So Sad. I hope this is just a nasty rumor ! If not my prayers are with him, his family and his fans !

naw darlin'...it's confirmed.

I JUST STARTED GETTING IN TO HIS WRITING . I READ BASKETBALL JONES A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND I GOT JUST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE LAST WEEK. I READ I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER  RIGHT BEFORE I READ BASKETBALL JONES. HE WAS A GREAT WRITER AND I AM SAD TO KNOW THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ANYMORE.... WE HAVE LOST ANOTHER GREAT PERSON.
