To my joy, the news came that the second in the Shad Series, "The Man who Turned Both Cheeks," will be distributed on December 4 this year.  I'm in the process of doing final edits, etc., and I keep having a really good feeling about this book.  Even as I work on my fourth draft of the next. 

And I'm still promoting "The Goat Woman of Largo Bay."  The first week in March sees me being interviewed at the National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta, followed by two signings in Jamaica and one in Grand Cayman.  Thank you, S&S, for the help you've given me in setting these up!
