"Is It True What They Say About Black Men?": Release Date Set!

It's taken me eight long years to live it and to finally finish writing it. Now my book, Is It True What They Say About Black Men?: Tales of Love, Lust and Language Barriers on the Other Side of the World, has an official release date: November 4. The Election Day timing is probably more of a coincidence than it was when R.E.M. released its major-label debut, Green, on Election Day in 1988, the first U.S. Presidential election in which I voted. Hopefully, my book will fare more like Green than like Michael Dukakis!

Now that the easy part is over, the hard part -- getting the word out -- begins. Watch this space for updates.
