In When a Man Loves a Woman, handsome Dr. Alcee Jules (AJ) Baptiste is determined to find answers to two questions: What do you do when you are in love with a woman who won’t give you the time of day? How do you convince her that she really is meant to spend the rest of her life with you when she avoids you at all costs? A. J. knows that he wants to spend the rest of his life with Victoria (Vic) Bennett. But Vic wants nothing to do with love, and even less to do with him. So what is A. J. to do? He will do what a man has to do – resort to a bit of scheming to win her over! And when he does, Victoria Bennett will confess that when a man loves a woman, it really is . . . a love for all times!

Today’s podcast is the kick off of Kimberly Cash Tate’s In Love Virtual Book and Podcast Tour celebrating the release of her new novel, Heavenly Places.

In Heavenly Places, Treva Langston has always felt inferior, thanks to her mother. She at least found her worth in a successful career; well, until it was gone. Now her life has suddenly been turned upside down. Without her high-powered job, she has returned with her family to her hometown and to all the memories of heartache she desperately fought to escape. Worse, she’s near her mother again, who hasn’t changed one bit. Beset with feelings of unworthiness, she’s filled with despair until her sister coaxes her into a women’s home Bible study. Though Treva resists and quits a couple of times, she comes to learn the importance of family, the blessing of friendship, and the powerful truth that conquers a lifetime of lies. To every woman who has ever doubted that she is fearfully and wonderfully made, this novel and virtual book and podcast tour is just for you!

Tune in to hear poet, producer and actor, Spencer Allen, aka “Spin Doctor,” talk about his poetry projects and upcoming performance lecture/seminar with Poet-On! host, Kenneth Bowens.

2B Counted Productions call “Spin Doctor” Spencer Allen, the quintessential renaissance poet. Los Angeles Central Library says Spencer’s body of work is, “poetic justice to all.” I believe Kaia N. Shivers, L. A. Sentinel Entertainment Editor, sums it up for us best when she says Spencer “skillfully spins his words and hooks listeners and readers into his lyrical vision of iambic pentameters and metaphoric sunrises.” Anyone who takes time to sit and listen to this brother will find him to truly be a poet extraordinaire!

On The Air welcomes the Against All Odds Virtual Book Tour!

Tune in to hear new author, Niambi Brown Davis, talk about her romance novel, From Dusk to Dawn, and Virtual Book Tour with host, Marlive Harris!

In From Dusk to Dawn, Ayo Montgomery’s and Bilal Salaam’s first meeting was as explosive as a lightning storm. The verbal showdown that erupted between them should have been the end of them; if they couldn’t manage a civil conversation with one another, how could they possibly fall in love? But they do fall in love – deeply and completely. However, in fiction as in real life, the course of even the greatest love never runs smooth. Bilal and Ayo make it through the minefield of differences in age, faith and family opposition, only to face an unexpected challenge and the greatest threat to their future together. For one of them love means letting go, but for the other, it means holding on – against all odds.
