Search of the Lost BOOK REMARKSBook Title: Between
Goodbyes Grab a sit and enjoy the ride...Niya Londres--and her three loves--and her brother Lorenzo Londres take readers on a lyrical journey that starts in Cuba and ends in a lavish surprise wedding. Readers should beware. Ms. Bunkley and the characters of "Between Goodbyes" will take you from warm nights in Cuba to cold winters in New York. Along the way we're introduced to Niya Lourdes a driven, talented dancer as she realizes her dreams and fights to find "true" love. But don't be mistaken this is not a "love story." Every chapter takes the reader to new heights as Ms. Bunkley carefully reveals another level of each character. They deal with immigration issues, drug addiction, manipulation, heartbreak and more. You'll become invested in their success and heartbroken when life deals someone a rotten hand. This book is a great read. And the twists and turns end in a dramatic,
surprising fashion which left me floored. You won't regret buying
this book. Book Title: Are
You Fascinated? The four people you need to succeed. Dear Reader Stop Now If…“…deep down inside, you know that you are not living up to your potential.” Do you lead a life fascinated by life’s possibilities? Do you yearn to shift your life into another direction? Yes? Then you should read this book. In all honesty, I briefly hesitated before responding to a request to review the manuscript for this book. Mainly because, I rarely, if ever, review manuscripts; however, I found the book title intriguing. “Are You Fascinated?” As a result, I committed to reading the introduction and the first chapter. But after reading the introduction I became engulfed in this book that I’ve struggled to classify. Why? Well, because Mr. Tucker’s book carried me through a string of emotions while providing some great life and business advice. I found myself physically moving closer to the book as if I could somehow affect the outcome of the stories before my eyes. Such provoking stories and life experiences invoked a sense of urgency for action—and transformation. Mr. Tucker then takes things a step further. He identifies the key people needed in your life to make your transformation achievable—the impossible possible. And he walks you through the process of giving, or receiving, what’s needed in those relationships to bring about fascination in your life and the lives of others. While reading this book you’ll ask yourself, on more than one occasion “am I fascinated?” And as you read the last pages you’ll learn many things. But two lessons, I can assure you will become clear: (1) You’ll discern whether you’re fascinated—engaged by life and those around you—and (2) If you learn that you’re not fascinated, you’ll have the resources to identify those four key people that are needed to make your transformation possible. Get engaged. Become fascinated. VIRTUAL MARKETINGThis month our topic was virtual marketing. You all submitted many questions, and instead of boring you with a long…drawn out dissertation I’ve decided to re-post a wonderful interview I had with Kevin Smokler, founder of BookTour.com. During our conversation we talk about virtual marketing and how you can develop a marketing plan that works for you. Enjoy! Still have questions? Submit them to here.

Let me begin by saying “Thank You!” You are experiencing a piece of my dream, and I hope you like it. Wait…let me back up a bit. Since this is our first issue of Nia Newsletter let me tell you a little story. (I promise not to hold you too long.) My husband and I own, and run, a website design company. And while running this business I did some soul searching. Trying to figure out how I could best help our clients, since many of them wanted a website. But they failed to take strategic steps to make their websites work for them. In response to my growing frustration, I started Nia Promotions. Nia Promotions is a marketing company that assists entrepreneurs, small businesses and authors with both online and traditional marketing. And while creating our online offerings I thought “what if….” That one statement—after hours of research and millions of calls to authors, publishers, editors, bookstores and other readers—led to the creation of Nia Virtual Book Tours, a virtual book tour that spotlights the works of African-American authors. The past few months have been crazy. I’ve remained sane due to the loving support of my husband and beautiful children. They’re the best. I’d also like to thank our wonderful authors that have trusted me with their babies. Lastly, I want to convey my gratitude to everyone that has made this all possible. You’re invited to join us on one—or all—of our chats. And please, please purchase the books written by our featured authors because we want to see them hit the Essence Bestsellers lists. Feel free to visit this newsletter all month. Spread the word. Stay tuned people because we have more coming. And we’d love for you to join us.

Kaira’s
debut novel, Take it There, introduces the dynamic trio of
Brittany, Nia and Shari. The new breed of young African American
professionals who epitomize the “other” nine to
five, where urban professionals trade their proper English,
phony smiles and professional demeanor for street savvy, quick
tongued around the way vernacular and mannerisms. Will taking
it there prove to be disastrous for the girls or will it lead
them to ultimate happiness?
The
trilogy of The MPire starts with, In Search of the Lost, which
is the story Mallory Towneson Haulm, a sexy financial powerhouse,
who lives in a quasi paradise in Austin, Texas. His opulent
world is decorated with expensive toys and women more exquisite
than an exotic candy shop. After fourteen years of separation
from his family, Mallory is summoned to return back home to
join The Family Business. Poised for success, Mallory is focused
on turning around the ailing business, not realizing that taking
his assigned reigns will put him in a position of unrelenting
power which he is unaware he even has. His world crashes as
he reunites with his brothers and becomes Death, the forth horseman
of the Apocalypse.
Hello
