"There is a new voice in the contemporary urban poetry movement...Songs In Search Of A Voice is a melodic addition to the sound begun by the masters such as Langston Hughes...the legacy continues with Harris...he has made his lifeâ€™s lessons available to us through his work: it is his gift to his readers, one that resonates through out his poetry...it is a gift that should be accepted, appreciated and celebrated."

Barb Radmore, Once Written

Originally released in March 2006, Songs In Search Of A Voice has sold over 15,000 copies worldwide, securing its place as an instant classic in the annals of literary lore.

"Spanish Lullaby will immediately draw you in...it is a beautiful tale about surviving loss and betrayal...definitely a must-read."

Paige Lovitt, Reader Views

The landmark seventh novel by bestselling author Linda Dominique Grosvenor, Spanish Lullaby reinvents the love story with the compelling account of Marsia Peterson & Max Fuentes, fated lovers destined to learn powerful lessons in healing and forgiveness. The true power of Grosvenor's narrative lies in reminding us that sometimes the greatest lessons we learn in life are the ones taught to us through the kindness of strangers.

"How far would you go to advance your career? To save a country? In The Art of Peace, Thomas weaves a tale of conflicting human motivation played out in a world of high culture, high fashion, and high-tech gadgetry. A smart, sexy first novel."

John Manuel, The Canoeist

The Art Of Peace follows Remi Austin, a fundraiser for the African Peace Collaborative, as she struggles to keep the organization alive - as well as the memory of her mother, who founded it. Frustrated by her inability to raise funds and driven by her mother's dream of achieving peace on earth, Remi turns to a life of crime, redistributing the wealth of the world, one work of art at a time. Simultaneously eluding a dashing insurance agent and a mysterious stalker, Remi leads you on a high-speed chase around the globe in this taut thriller with more than enough twists to keep you guessing until the very end - and beyond.

The Art Of Peace will be released on Tuesday, April 8, 2008, but you can be among the first to pre-order a copy today!

I'd like to meet:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate...our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure...we are all meant to shine, as children do...and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same...as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

Authors, Entertainers, Spoken Word Artists, Musicians, Artists, Entrepreneurs - we look forward to meeting and networking with individuals from all walks of life...
let us all shine together...
