My Brother Is A Baller

My Brother Is A Baller (ISBN: 978-0-974783260/$12.95) is Dorrie Williams-Wheeler’s latest book. It follows the life of Sheri Carmichael. You would think with her brother Todd being drafted into the NBA straight out of high school, life for Sheri would be great–wrong.
Sheri is a drama magnet. She struggles with being in Todd’s shadow and dealing with people trying to be her friend only because of her superstar NBA brother. Once Sheri gets out of one situation, she finds herself in more drama.
My Brother Is A Baller is a fast paced and entertaining read. It will have you wanting to shake some sense into Sheri. Sheri makes some of the same unwise decisions that a lot of young folks make. She thinks she knows it all but in the end, Sheri does learn quite a few valuable lessons.
Friendships and relationships will be tested in between the pages of Dorrie Williams Wheeler’s My Brother Is A Baller. Its the type of book where both adults and teens can enjoy.

New Book Announcement

Young Adult Book

The Ultimate Test: The Lip Gloss Chronicles by Shelia Marie Goss
Publisher: Kensington Books/Urban Books
Imprint: Urban Renaissance
ISBN: 978-1-60162-186-3
Publication Date: June 2009

Advance Review:

Young Adult (4 Stars)

Girls Will Be Girls?

The Ultimate Test by Shelia Marie Goss is the prolific author's first novel for and about young adults. From the first page, the reader is caught up in the flavor, authenticity, and language of young adults and how they feel, think, and respond to what goes on around them. Britney Franklin is a young, beautiful, rich fly-girl. She and her friends, Sierra and Jasmine, have been girls since grade school and they share everything. The three of them are very excited about their freshman year at Plano High School . However, they are going to find out that with growing up comes growing pains.

On the first day of school, the young ladies set their eyes on D.J. and immediately Sierra and Jasmine are smitten. Britney is not impressed with him and is amazed that her friends will potentially allow a boy to come between them. There are also other girls on the scene, such as Tanisha who is also interested in D.J.
and will possibly fight for his attention but, surely these classy young women know better than that?

The trio face other issues that are as important as boy troubles. Britney is horrified to discover her parents are expecting another child when she is a teenager and has been an only child. Sierra is dealing with weight gain and how that affects her self-esteem. And, though she will never admit it, Jasmine is dealing with jealousy of a friend. Will these young ladies be able to grow up and stay together or will the tests they face tear them apart? Ms. Goss answers these questions and more in her wonderful novel about young girls in today's world.

I recommend The Ultimate Test to all readers. Teens will be able to relate and appreciate and older readers will reflect and remember.

Gwyneth Bolton

Gwyneth Bolton was born and raised in Paterson, New Jersey. She currently lives in Syracuse, New York with her husband Cedric. When she was 12-years-old, she became an avid reader of romance by sneaking her mother's stash of Harlequin and Silhouette novels. In the 90s, she was introduced to African American and multicultural romance novels and her life hasn't been the same since. While she had always been a reader of romance, she didn't feel inspired to write them until the genre opened up to include other voices. And even then, it took finishing graduate school, several non-fiction publications, and a six-week course at the Loft Literary Center titled Writing the Romance Novel; before she gathered the courage to start writing her first romance novel. She has a BA and an MA in creative writing and a Ph.D. in English. She teaches classes in writing and women' s studies at the college level. When she is not working on her own African American romance novels, she is curled up with a cup of herbal tea, a warm quilt, and a good book. ..
