AWARD-WINNING BLACK AUTHOR RELEASES NEW BOOK SERIES THAT DEALS WITH SPIRITUAL, MENTAL, AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT

Nationwide -- Books are a very important learning tool within a society, and this has been so ever since the written word was manifested. In fact, Therone Shellman acknowledges that books saved him from a life of crime, self-destruction and even possibly death. Therefore, it's no wonder when he decided to write, the decision was made to pen works which will enlighten, and inspire.

"People of African descent need to tell their own stories, read their stories, tell their own history from their perspective, and read their history from their perspective. Most of all they need to define their own narrative," Shellman explains.

It's this sense of responsibility, Therone has taken on with the introduction of his first book over a decade ago, Love Don't Live Here (revised edition). A novel based on the lives of two young African American women. Who through different circumstances become single mothers. Both realize, their main plight in life is to raise their sons to become productive men within a society, which is geared toward their demise.
