This weekend I had a signing at Barnes and Noble and a book club meeting with the SBS Book Club on Sunday in Columbus. I stayed at the Days Inn near Fort Benning, Ga. and I'm sure if the walls of the hotel could talk, some young soldiers would be in trouble. But I digress. Here are some photos, including one that I hope my father never becomes, the creepy old man in shorts and high black socks. I had a great time and enjoyed the hospitality shown by Shaw High School's Sonya Boyd who helped promote my signing along with the school's book fair.

I had a great signing at Barnes and Noble at Magnolia Mall on May 16th. As you can see, the store ordered my entire catalog. So, if you're near Florence and need one of my books, you can get signed copies at Barnes and Noble. My little cousin, his mom didn't want to take a picture.

Romance novelist, Cheris Hodges, listens to her fans. Take her latest book for instance, More Than He Can Handle. After readers finished her novel, The Business of Love, they flooded her e-mail inbox wanting to know when Cleveland Alexander would have his on novel. Cheris knew she had to give her readers a good story of their favorite hero. Then she came up with the steamy novel set at a wedding that the best man and the maid of honor didn’t really want to attend. More Than He Can Handle was born. Publisher’s Weekly called the book, “a sizzling romance.” Set in Atlanta and New Orleans, Hodges delivered just what her fans wanted, a feisty heroine, a bit of mystery and a whole lot of love. Cheris will be signing copies of her latest book at Barnes and Noble, 2701 David McLeod Blvd, on May 16 at 2 p.m.

The set up at Borders and yes, I had to have my coffee. Carmen and Louise, members of the Cheris F. Hodges Bookclub showed their support
