The Memphis Black Authors Resource

The Memphis Black Authors Resource

Did you know that there are about 50 African American authors in the Memphis area alone? These are published authors who have at least one book on the market. That’s why the What’s Happening Myron Book Club have decided to release this project. In this database, each author will have their own page which lists their books, website, pictures, contact information and more. You will now be able to find out who is writing in the Mid-South area. I will be populating this directory for the next few weeks. If you’re interested in participating, please email me at myron@whatshappeningmyron.com.

May Local featured Author: Dr. Melinda Harper

May Local featured Author: Dr. Melinda Harper

“Society tells us that we should be independent, but how does that work when living out the Word of God as a wife? Without losing ourselves, we are expected to strike the perfect balance.” This comes from Dr. Melinda Harper, author of “A Profit/Prophet for Her Husband”. “We forget what our purpose is as a wife”. This book will give you revelation to what it means to be a wife and it will help you strike that balance you are looking for.

Dr. Harper has been married nearly 20 years and decided to write a book on what becoming a wife really means. It wasn’t until she was well into her marriage that she realized being a wife was an assignment. “Only within the last five years have I truly been a wife as a wife is meant to be.” Commonly, women can get caught up in wanting to be married that they don’t truly comprehend what that entails. Often women are heard saying they want to be married or have a desire for a husband.

Shortly after the wedding and all the wedding guests are gone, the wife takes on much responsibility. “To whom much is given, much is required.” Being a wife is an assignment that many wives, including myself, were not ready for prior to marriage. Some of us are still learning, and this book will help you and your marriage grow to what God intended it to be. Your marriage will flourish; your husband will profit.

Harper’s book "A Profit/Prophet for Her Husband" can be purchased at her website www.drmelindaharper.com or you may purchase a signed copy at the Book Club Meet-Up, this Saturday, May 16th from 4-6pm at McKinley’s Restaurant located at 3279 Kirby Parkway.
May Selection: "The Choir Director 2" by Carl Weber

May Selection: "The Choir Director 2" by Carl Weber

Carl Weber takes readers back to church in his latest drama-filled novel, the much anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller The Choir Director. It has been three years since Aaron Mackie succeeded in helping his friend and mentor, Bishop T. K. Wilson, get his ministry out of financial ruin.

Aaron is also responsible for re-energizing the almost defunct choir into something special. His success has drawn national attention, and he s on the verge of signing a huge recording contract. With his life in order, Aaron decides the time is right to propose to Tia Gregory, the church secretary who caught his eye and inspired him to shed his Tiger Woods like tendencies to become a one-woman man.

The stage is set for what might be the wedding of the year but quickly becomes the disaster of the year when Aaron is left at the altar without explanation. Now, during his own hour of need, Aaron turns to the bishop for help. Unfortunately, the line that he asks T. K. to cross will force the bishop to choose between faith and friendship, or as he puts it, between heaven and hell. And as the investigation into Tia's disappearance continues, the two men are challenged in ways they never imagined.

The Choir Director 2 is the featured Selection for the May Book Club Meet-Up. It takes place this Saturday, May 16th from 4-6pm at McKinley’s Restaurant located at 3279 Kirby Parkway.
April Meet Up Recap: Issac Jones

April Meet Up Recap: Issac Jones

Author Issac Jones kept us very engaged with his presentation of his book “The Hand I Was Dealt”. It was also the very first time a local featured authored had ever used a PowerPoint presentation during the book club. I was a little skeptical at first as to how the audience would receive such a presentation, but I quickly realized that this guy was in control. Everyone was so engaged, I had to cut the Q&A short for the sake of time. But as always, we had a great time.

Be sure to join me on this Saturday May 16th for the May Book Club Meet-Up! This month’s Featured Selection is Carl Weber’s The Choir Director 2: The Runaway Bride. Our Local Featured Author is Dr. Melinda Harper, author of “A Profit to Her Husband”. She is gonna be great! We got wonderful vendors, great food, good conversation and fabulous door prizes! Be there on Saturday May 16th from 4-6 at McKinley’s Restaurant, 3279 Kirby Parkway! Come hang!
