Touch1Media Announces the Release of a New Book: Never Would Have Made It: The Rise of Tyler Perry

A must read for Tyler Perry fans, Never Would Have Made It is the remarkable true story of success and failure, love and faith. It is a story many can identify with after being jilted in love, life, or business, following years of sacrifice for the success of others only to be cast aside, without receiving credit or reward for loyalty during hard times.

Touch 1 Media LLC (http://www.touch1media.com) announces the release of former radio executive Melvin Childs memoir, Never Would Have Made It: The Rise of Tyler Perry, the Most Powerful Entertainer in Black America (And What It Really Took to Get Him There), (ISBN# 978-0-9847115-0-5; Hardcover, 240 pp 24.99; E-Book $9.99). The book is slated for a January release, with preview autographed copies and e-book formats on sale today exclusively on http://www.tylerperrybook.com.

Sijuan King’s Debut Novel, Millennium Slave: Part I, Delivers a One-Two Punch - Niece of promoter Don King Trades in her Boxing Gloves for a Laptop

Entrepreneur, activist, producer and writer Sijuan King is pleased to announce the release of her debut suspense thriller, Millennium Slave: Part I.

When Si began writing the book six years ago, she never imagined that it would be so relevant today. Pre-President Barack Obama and the now infamous “Occupy Wall Street”, Si had a vision. She dreamt of a world where a relatively small percentile held all the wealth, power and the innocent lives of men, women and children in their greedy and diabolical hands.

Bishop Jordan Follows Bestselling Laws of Thinking with New Book Laws of Prosperity

The New York Times bestselling author of The Laws of Thinking and The Art of War announces the release of his latest book, The Laws of Prosperity, due on September 6.

Books offering strategies for financial success and personal wealth accumulation are hardly new, but in this age of economic uncertainty they seem to be more plentiful than ever. In the minds of many consumers, however, these books are essentially a dime a dozen, offering fly-by-night financial tactics that are largely based on recent trends, and offer no guarantee of lasting efficacy. Bishop Jordan’s books are another matter entirely, however; based on time-tested principles and ancient truths, Bishop Jordan’s books offer financial advice based in spiritual realities. His latest work, The Laws of Prosperity, releases on September 6, via Atria Books.
