There is at least one published author on aa.org.-- Wiz. I've read his novel, South Side Dreams. I thoroughly enjoyed the read and I recommend the book highly.

Wiz is such a talented and evocative writer. South Side Dreamsis rich, the characters real, the story a very good tale about the reality of a family dealing with poverty and just living. Absent are the usual caricatures and outcomes that plague so many novels about Black life.

The cover sucks, though. It is off-putting. I don't know what the publisher was thinking when they selected that art. It in no way reflects anything about the book.

Check it out.

Wow, you agree with my critique before you've even read the book. I didn't know I was so persuasive. Seems I've missed my calling. hat Smile

I learned today that Wiz posted an excerpt down in
Publicize it Here . If you have not seen it, it's a great representation of his book. I hated for it to end.

Sorry but you misunderstood me. . .I wasn't agreeing with your critique, the 'thumbs up' is for reading the book, period. Smile I think it's great that you read his book (that's what I meant). Personally, I like to see black folk supporting each other, especially, presumably , strangers.

I guess I should've made myself clear. 4

Anyway, so far I've only read snippets. I ordered the book, but it hasn't arrived yet.

I'll wait until my book arrives. But I think it's great that you put the information out there. Smile

I meant the "you" to be general. Give it a read, people! It is quite nice.

I understood what you meant, I was merely speaking for myself. Smile
