Greetings PageTurner.net Family and Friends,
Well, summer is here and it is HOT here in Texas! We hope your 4th of July includes friends, family, barbeque, homemade ice cream, watermelon, "red soda water" and all the things that bring back your favorite childhood memories. And since you have an extra few days off, I hope that you have picked up a great book to sit and read while you relax.
What's on my night stand? I am currently reading Baggage Claim by David Talbert, The Reckoning by Jeff Long, and listening to The Artifact by Patrick Astre. For you Techies out there I am also reading Macromedia Flash Professional 8 Beyond the Basics Hands-On Training. My next planned read is Three Sides to Every Story by Clarence Nero.
Last Month our book club, The Good Book Club Houston, was featured on the Bookclub In Your Pocket Show, a podcast presented by Tricom. We discussed George Elliott Clarke's "George & Rue" with the author. Be sure to check it out (you don't have to have an iPod, you can listen to it on your PC.)

The Black Writers Reunion and Conferece is coming up in a few weeks, so if you are in Dallas, be sure to say hi!
That's all for now, I have books to read and web sites to build!
Have a safe and prosperous month!
P. Walker Williams, President
The Page-Turner Network

PageTurner.net would like to welcome it's newest web site clients..
Pat G’Orge (pronounced Gee-or-jay) - Walker is in a league of her own. This accomplished Christian author and comedienne has an amazing mind and talent for turning her observations of church and black church life, in particular, into gems of sidesplitting humor. It is her own special gift from God that enables G’Orge-Walker to depict the often ridiculous antics of church folk. She does it without subverting the Good News or watering down the potency of its message.
Beverly Jenkins is an African-American, historical romance writer. She and her family live in southeastern Michigan. She is married, and the mother of two children. Born in Detroit, she graduated from Cass Technical High School and attended Michigan State University, where she majored in Journalism and English Literature.
