    "Law and Order" (the original); "CSI" (Vegas and Miami); "The Closer"; "The Sopranos"; "Grey's Anatomy"; anything on Court TV and A&E

About me:

I'm a fiction writer living with my dog, Hunter, in the Washington D.C. area. I've written three books thus far: "Triptych," "Back to Life" and "What You Won't Do For Love," the latter two named after my two most favorite songs of all time. Brooklyn's the birthplace; Nassau, Bahamas is the ancestral home; and Jersey's where I became a woman and put away childish things.

Publishing: Lost in transition

Very few publishing post mortems examine the root cause of the industry’s present situation. Les Pockell changes this, weighing in on why publishing is in crisis. Pockell’s cred is seriously intact. He is the Vice President and Associate Publisher at Hachette Book Group USA.

Les Pockell, the Vice President and Associate Publisher at Hachette Book Group USA, insists that publishing has come a long way from the days when famed publisher Charles Scribner’s Sons held court at the Landmark Building on New York’s Fifth Avenue.

For the fifth year, the Capital BookFest did not disappoint. Held Saturday on the grounds of the Boulevard at the Capital Centre in Largo, MD, the Capital Bookfest offered up a day of readings, panel discussions, children's storytelling, conversations, and authors’ talks.

Who I'd like to meet:

Jesus, for some "strategery" on how to be a better person; Martin Luther King, to ask him if this was the dream he'd envisioned; Sigmund Freud, to get insight into my mind; Sojourner Truth, just to hear from one of the original misunderstood Black women in the world; Denzel Washington and Wentworth Miller, for the obvious reason... :-) ..

    I would like to share with you something I was moved to write::
    I hope you are doing great my friends... and i hope you are copeing with MJ's flight into the heavens.... We are all sadden and hurt.. but we must keep the faith.. as Michael Says, and keep going and show how he has touched our lives. I'am proud to be a Michael Jackson Fan...from the beginning to the end.. i have never lost faith in Mike and i never will... Please allow me to walk beside Michael and be like a shadow to him... I'am happy that individuals feel that i sound like him,, and remind them of his sweet voice... But there is only one Michael Jackson, and their will never be another... He's a icon of epic porportions... I'am glad to of been the generation that got to see him up close and witness his magic... I'am always thinking of you Michael day and night.. and i only hope you are looking down on us, and never leave us alone....for we are not alone... You have givin us the opportunity to see the limits of Gods power when he bless someone with a Gift... You are surely a work of Art, a Masterpiece that is glorious to behold.  Your entire body would execute moves that would boggle the mind... and dazzle one's eyes.  How can we not watch you when you are in your Zone... The Stage bow down to you , and the Mic sings your praises..  We have heard you and we believe you were from God... and have returned to live forever in

    Hello my new friend
    As the Spinners sung,
    "WHENEVER YOU CALL ME,
    WHENEVER YOU NEED ME
    I'LL BE AROUND”

    DEEP... my heart and soul is endless,
    My time is only for those who take me as I am
    You can have me
    But if you break me
    I have already forgiving you
    As God would have me to do
    So come to me
    Love me
    Try to understand me
    If you can't
    Don't fear me
    Just take more time
    To know me
    My friend

    written by the best selling romantic/erotica novelist author, Alvin Lloyd Alexander Horn http://alvinhorn.com
    A passage from my best selling romantic erotic novel, come take a ride in BRUSH STROKES @ Amazon.com         
     “A man may admire what a woman does for a living; he may admire her education and social circle. He may be enamored with her physical beauty, but he only truly falls in love, with the softest and warmest part of her, her soul.”

    Under the piano stool a pair of tan high-heel slippers, one was standing up and one lying on its side. In my mind’s eye I could still see her feet in them. I could see her sitting there warming her skin by the fire, and seeing all that put me in an oasis daydream.
