To Acquire Copies of My Books.....



This is a question that I am consistently asked all of the time, from friends, family, and those newly exposed to my work.  Other than purchasing the books directly from me personally, whether at a self-created book signing, or an event that I just happen to be vending at, here are a number of other ways that you can gain access to my books:

PURCHASE THEM ONLINE

If you have computer access, the books can be purchased online.  You can order them directly from the publishers of my books (Authorhouse for Book #1, Outskirts Press for Book #2) by going to their respective websites, and ordering them from their own virtual bookstore.

ALSO...my books are listed on Amazon.com, and also on Barnes & Nobles website.  There are also various online bookstores that carry both titles.

PURCHASE THEM @ YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE

 At this point, the only place that physically stocks my books is a bookstore in Baltimore called Wisdom Book Center, located at 5116 Liberty Heights Avenue.  I am still working on getting more bookstores, specifically independent bookstores, to carry my books.   


You can also get your local bookstore to order copies of my book for you.  I would prefer that you go to your local Black-owned bookstore to order copies of my book, but considering the rash of Black-owned bookstores that have been closing down in the last decade plus, if you have to buy my book from a mainstream bookstore, then by all means, go ahead and do so.

You can order copies by providing the store clerk my name, and the title of my book(s), and also providing them with the ISBN number of my books:

978-1-4490-6987-2  (Book #1, softcover)
978-1-4490-6988-9 (Book #1, hardcover)
978-1-4327-8354-9 (Book #2, softcover)

ORDER THE E-BOOK VERSION

At this point, only my first book is in the ebook format.  I am working on upgrading my second book to include an ebook version.


So...these are the available options for those of you that are interested in buying a copy of my books.  I hope that this helps you as far as gaining access to copies of my works.  Please help to support your independent literary artists!!!!

Raise Your Brown Black Fist: The Radio Interview

It's great to have comrades that respect you, and always try to look out for you.

I was out with my mentor, as he was invited to one of the local radio stations to help promote an annual tour that he helps to organize, and I was lucky enough to be with him at the station.  He knew the brother hosting the show (having been longtime comrades themselves), and was able to get on the air to help promote the tour that they're giving (Soul School Institute's annual Malcolm X Tour).  After he was done with his portion of the show, we gathered our belongings, and were ready to leave.

That's when he mentioned to the host, "Oh, by the way...this is Bro. Kevin.  He's a member of my organization, and a published author."

I SO love my mentor!  =)

On cue, I went right into my book bag, and whipped out a copy of both of my books.  I gave them to Bro. Ellsworth (the host), gave him a little background about my books' subject matter, and told him that I would love to be on his show sometime to talk about them.

"Really?  How about next Sunday...?"

??????????

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say, I was very shocked...and I also accepted the offer.  =)
