I wish I could say that I got myself DNA tested because of some deep desire to know who my ancestors are. If you’re African- or Caribbean-American you just accept the fact that you’re mixed.

I love history, I love vampires, and how do you not love Abraham Lincoln in a straight up pimp pose. That's right, June is audiobook month! And I got the opportunity to do a fan video clip for friend, colleague, and rock star narrator Robert Fass. It's not too late to get in on the fun. If you're on Twitter check out #JIAM2012 and share your audiobook passion. I recently found myself performing on a charter music cruise headlined by New Kids on the Block. You heard me. I’m not big on boy bands but I was just a wee bit sorry that it wasn’t Boyz to Men. [Insert sly smile and small swoon here.] In case you didn’t know, New Kids on the Block re-branded themselves NKOTB. This is cute but it must make it hard on their dyslexic fans. I bet some of those poor ladies ended up on the MFSB cruise jamming to “Love is the Message.” CLICK HERE TO READ THE BLOG CLICK HERE TO HEAR THE BLOGCAST Hey Funny Ladies!
