TLC's "All American Muslim" premiered on the network Sunday to an eagerly awaiting audience of Muslims and nonMuslims alike. The show's trailer had been circulating on television and the net for weeks and it evoked strong emotions in the blogosphere even before the showed aired. Many Muslims hoped...

Remain In Light is selling steadily at Amazon and Smashwords and reviews are starting to come in. The best so far is by Jason Pettus at the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography.
Great as a standalone book, or even better as part two of a grander whole, this is the rare sequel that...

So, first off, a very nice review for Graceland from Bookin' With Sunny. I love her reviews and apparently, so does Red Room - she had the poetry Review of the Week last week. http://www.bookinwithsunny.com/posts/graceland-book-4-of-the-jp-kinkaid-chronicles/ I'll put that one up on the regular...
