Tor,

Your Morehouse brotha from threebrothersandasister.blogspot.com is checking in. We will definitely promote the book on our site and I get the word out.

I recently started doing BlogTalkRadio and I'd like to have you on the program. It's called The Content Black Woman Show and my cohost Valencia Roner was featured yesterday in the Washington Post. Check it out and then let's talk!

Congrats man!!!
