Book Description
A ghost story with a beat . . . Bertice Berry follows her finely pitched Blackboard bestselling debut novel, Redemption Song, with a mesmerizing cautionary tale about urban hip hop culture.
In ancient West Africa, the drum was more than a musical instrument, it was a vehicle of communication–it conveyed information, told stories, and passed on the wisdom of generations. The magic of the drum remains alive today, and with her magnificent second novel, Berry brings those powerful beats to the streets of Harlem.
Harry “Freedom” Hudson is the hottest hip hop producer in New York City, earning unbelievable fees for his tunes and the innovative sound that puts his artists on the top of the charts. Harry is used to getting what he wants, so when he’s irresistibly drawn to a house in Harlem, he assumes he’ll be moving in as soon as the papers can be drawn up. The house, after all, has been abandoned for years. Or has it?
Rumors are rife in the neighborhood that the house is haunted; that mysterious music, shouts, and sobbing can be heard late at night. Ava, Harry’s strong-willed, no-nonsense agent, dismisses it all as “old folks” tales–until she opens the door and finds an eerie, silent group of black people, young and old, gathered around a man holding an ancient African drum. They are waiting for Harry and bear a warning that touches his very soul: “We gave the drum back to your generation in the form of rap, but it’s being used to send the wrong message.”
The Haunting of Hip Hop is a reminder of the importance of honoring the past as a means of moving safely and firmly into the future. It is sure to raise eyebrows and stir up controversy about the impact, good and bad, of rap culture.

Looking Back to Move Forward.......2003-02-11
The Haunting of Hip-Hop is a well-written tale of how the past affects the future.
Berry does it again weaving the past and the present. The underlying presence of the African drum is interspersed throughout the novel. We are introduced to Freedom, a successful hip-hop producer who is intrigued by a brownstone in Harlem that people feared was haunted. Freedom directs his lawyer, Ava to purchase the house for him. Ava becomes reacquainted with an old friend, Charles, a real estate attorney. Ava and Charles encounter a gathering of ghosts all of whom are a mission to settle scores in order to rest in peace. How will the ghost find peace?
The novel is full of surprises and twists to keep the reader enthralled to the end.
Berry has done an excellent job with The Haunting of Hip-Hop. She has a unique way of tying the historical influences with a present day storyline. The theme of honoring our past is alive in the novel. I look forward to the next literary offering by Berry.

Alright..........2002-12-13
GOOD POINTS: The book did what the author intended for it to do: creep the readers out a lil'bit. I was going to sleep but peeking at the edge of my bed a couple times. I had to laugh it off though. This book gave us great vivid images, believable characters (to a certain extent), excellent storylines on the dead (especially the guy taken in slavery and the heartbroken woman), and overall a wonderful idea for a book.
WEAK POINTS: I have always been a fan of a first-person novel because in third-person omniscient stories, we sometimes get too wrapped up in the characters' views to pay attention to dialogue and reactions. Some authors have mastered the art of telling a third-person story without getting too involved in each character's emotions. Bertice Berry has not. This book did 75% telling and 25% showing. A minor example would be the part in the book when she explains that the producer would do anything to get the contract and didn't appreciate Freedom being late. She could've easily SHOWED him acting out this emotion by checking his watch with a disgruntled face or in dialogue. After awhile, it seemed like the author was explaining the story to us like we were children to dumb to figure it out. That was a major turn-off. The preaching at the end didn't help matters.
I also didn't understand how Charles could go from being so bourgeoise to tearing up greens all in the same day...that just didn't seem realistic to me.
Overall, I'm glad I bought it because the overall plot was outstanding, but the technique was annoying.
Rhythmically Poetic Novel.......2001-12-29
This book has a rhythm and flow to it, just as the whole culture of Hip Hop. Although the story is in many ways far-fetched, the textures and images Bertice weaves into the story are rich and imaginative. The flow begins with a compelling drama around the main character, Hip Hop Producer Freedom, whose lifework has been dyed with the colors of his neighborhood and family experiences. The shocking twist in the middle of the tale rendered me speechless for a second. I distinctly remembered closing the book and my eyes for a moment to gather my thoughts before diving back in. The quest for answers and justice will keep readers riveted. Enjoy!
A Positive Message...........2001-11-07
The Haunting of Hip Hop is a quick and captivating read. I finished it within a few hours and really enjoyed it. Again, in the same style of Redemption Song, Berry, intertwines the past and present masterfully. The essence of the story is that of the spirits of the past manifesting themselves out of the need tell their stories to the living in an effort ease the pain, bring peace, and resolve issues that plagued their lives. There are many lessons taught in this story, however, the focus is on the spirit, Ngozi, an African slave, and his desire to bring back the love, passion, and true unifying purpose that the drums of African once did in his beloved homeland. He feels that the drums/beats have been misused and corrupted and he must connect with super producer, Harry "Freedom" Hudson before its too late. There were some surprising twists in the plot as each of the supporting cast experiences their own awakenings. I was disappointed in some of the conclusions, but it was a great work nonetheless...highly recommended!
If I Could Give This Book 4.5 stars, I Would!.......2001-10-19
The Haunting of Hip Hop is a small but powerful little fictional book that reads like non-fiction.
Harry "Freedom" Hudson has the Midas touch and creates hip-hop success with every collaboration and production. One day he decides that he must have a certain house in an old Harlem neighborhood...although the house is old and run-down it seems to be calling his name. There are rumors that the house is haunted, however, Freedom isn't fazed and he requests that his lawyer, Ava Vercher, do research to purchase the house. Ava has heard about the house being haunted as well, so she decides to enlist the help of her childhood friend, Charles to go and check out the house. When Ava and Charles enter the house, they are unprepared for the group that meets them. Lo and behold, the house is truly haunted and ...these "spirit memories" include Ngozi, an African drummer whose life was brutally interrupted by slavery; Bella, a singer murdered by her white gangster lover; and Johnny, a boy who was killed by his father. Ngozi wants to pass down his beat--which contains the love that has gone out of rap music--to Freedom, while Bella just wants revenge. However, all of the spirits are waiting for Freedom to arrive so that they can take him under their wings.
The Haunting of Hip Hop was a fascinated and intriguing read. I sat down with this book on a rainy afternoon and became so engrossed by it that I was finished in a few hours. I enjoyed the symbolism of the drum and the tie to rap music. I liked how there was an ancestral tie to the present, and how the materialism and exploitive spirit of Rap was being haunted by the past. However, I was a little disappointed that after Freedom entered the house the pace of the story slowed down and sort of fizzled out. Additionally, I didn't like how Freedom's character transpired.
Overall, Haunting of Hip Hop is a fascinating and powerful little book from Bertice Berry. I recommend this book as well as Redemption Song for your reading pleasure.

Hot Ticket.......2007-02-24
Lucky Charm by Julia London
Kelly O'shay hosts a sports show on the radio. Mets shortstop, Parker Price, is the current object of Kelly's comedic bashing. Parker has had enough of Kelly putting him down and he's convinced that she is responsible for his bad luck on the field recently, so he heads down to the radio station to confront her.
Kelly and Parker hit it off instantly. When Parker starts hitting better, he thinks Kelly might be his good luck charm and when things get bad between them and he starts hitting bad again he's convinced that Kelly really is good luck.
With Handsome baseball player Parker, and witty and sexy Kelly, Lucky Charm hits a home run with this romantic and fun story! I was cheering for Kelly and Parker from start to finish!
Same Rink, Next Year by Deirdre Martin
David Hewson is the goalie for the Buffalo Herd hockey team. Once a year the Herd comes to Chicago for a game. They stay at the Barchester hotel where Tierney O'Connor works. For that one night, Tierney and David have hot passionate sex then part ways until next year, but this year things change when a snowstorm keeps everyone stranded in the hotel. As the days press on, David and Tierney get to know each other better, changing their relationship from mysterious to familiar and they're not sure that's a good thing.
I adore David and Tierney in Same Rink, Next Year. This incredibly romantic and sensual story is heartwarming and sexy. David is such a great guy and Tierney is a real sweetheart. They are magic together.
You Can't Steal First by Annette Blair
Quinn Murdock and Juan " Tiago" Santiago met as kids playing in the sandbox and ended their relationship after losing their virginity to each other in high school. A surprise meeting thirteen years later on Tiago's party train stirs up more than just lust for Quinn and Tiago.
You Can't Steal First is such blast! It's a sexy and romantic story. Tiago surprised me. I pegged him as a real player at first. Quinn is a lot of fun; she's witty and pretty. She and Tiago make a great team.
Can't Catch This by Geri Buckley
Lindy Hamilton is attending the Florida Moccasins football game, courtesy of her cheating ex boyfriend. She caught him cheating and took the season pass tickets that she got him, for herself. She meets handsome Josh Weldon at the first game and instead of being down about her ex, Lindy is warming right up with Josh by her side, but with her history of picking bad boyfriends Lindy wonders if Josh will be the same.
Josh could charm the pants off any woman. He's handsome and witty and so good to Lindy. Lindy is a great girl whose luck changes when she meets Josh. Can't Catch This is a ton of fun and a really romantic story.
Take four hunky guys, four beautiful women and combine them with fun, sensual, and romantic stories and you get Hot Ticket, a fantastic anthology with each story as good as the next. It's a winner in my book!

HOT and fun.......2007-02-02
I read this in one sitting. The stories were a fast and fun read. What a nice way to spend a cold day here in Chicago!
A homer, right out of the park! Hot Ticket is right!.......2006-12-19
Each story in this book was a one-sitting read. All were great. Not a dud in the bunch. Blair's had a twist I didn't expect, a surprise twist, but I read hers first and bought the book for her story. The rest were icing on a great cake. You can't go wrong with this bunch. Excellent, entertaining reads.
Awesome Sports Romance. Hot! Sexy! .......2006-09-29
While I read this for Blair's story, You Can't Steal First, because Tiago had been introduced in My Favorite Witch, I have to say that the entire book was a delightful surprise. Quinn and Tiago were hot, funny, quirky, romantic, the perfect pair of stubborn high school lovers reunited.
But every story was entertaining in its own right and allowed each author's voice to shine through. I can see why Deirdre Martin and Julia London are so successful. And there's no doubt in my mind that Blair and Buckley are stars on the rise. Home Run! Touch Down! Winning Goal! Hot Ticket is a keeper.
I had no idea that anthologies could be so much fun.
Unsportsman-like Conduct.......2006-07-09
Is it too much to expect a short story anthology called "Hot Ticket" to actually have some sports in it?
I bought this because I love sports -- all sports. I'm not picky. And I was excited to finally get some more romance stories that featured hot athletes, and the sports they play. Like Susan Elizabeth Phillips's Chicago Stars series, or Rachel Gibson's Seattle Chinooks series, or even Deirdre Martin's "Body Check" (her first, best, and only decent hockey novel).
But in "Hot Ticket" the sports these guys play don't just take a backseat to the plot, they aren't even in it. The heroes in this anthology could be carpet salesmen, for all their supposed athletic careers figure into the story.
In Martin's "Same Rink, Next Year," the entire story takes place in a snowed-in hotel. Not a single hockey game, practice, or reference in sight. All the hero has that makes him an athlete is a great body, and jerks for teammates (who pop up every so often). Why he and his concierge get together, and stay together, is still a mystery to me. I don't have that much loyalty for Santa Claus, and I see him once a year too.
London's "Lucky Charm" was so annoying, I couldn't finish it. And for me, that rarely happens. But this heroine made me want to punch her by chapter two. Although the hero -- a baseball player who was supposedly good, but one she trashed anyway -- liked her brand of psycho foreplay, because he stuck around. I was really annoyed by this story, because London talked baseball in the beginning, rattling off stats and info that lead me to think she is a real fan of the game, and I was looking forward to what her story would develop into. Alas, I was not a fan of her two main characters, and actually couldn't read past chapter 7. It was either ditch the story, or start screaming at the pages and the most annoying heroine/hero combo ever.
Blair's "You Can't Steal First" was also a disappointment. I'd read "My Favorite Witch," which was decent, and had a great, sexy ex-hockey star hero. He got out on the ice in that book, even though an injury sidelined his career. In "You Can't Steal First," basebally player Juan Santiago never leaves the train he's taking to spring training. If I hadn't remembered him from "Witch" I doubt I would have remembered what sport he supposedly played. He could have been a train conductor, for all his career had to do with the story.
That problem continues in Buckley's "Can't Catch This," where the hero's only connection to professional sports is that his cousin is an arena football QB. This guy is just a cowboy/business man. Oh, sorry, he's a rich venture capitalist. In a sports romance anthology. No, I'm not kidding. This was the best idea Buckley could come up with? So the hero/heroine meet at a game -- big deal. Again, they could have met on Santiago's train, for all that had to do with the plot.
I am puzzled by the positive reviews this anthology has gotten. But I guess if you don't really care about sports, like short stories with plots that are implausible and characters that make you want to slap them, then you should get this book. Better yet, take mine, I will give it to you. If you want to read good romances with sexy athletes who are still connected to their sports, read Rachel Gibson or Susan Elizabeth Phillips.

When secret agent Leslie Frost is sent to Washington, D.C. to pick up a murder case, her search for a murderer leads her to the steaming jungles of Central America, where famed ethnobotanist Louis Bailey has vanished. Not coincidentally, his brother, lies terminally ill with a mosquito-borne dengue fever, the possible victim of assassination by insect. Sooner than she can say Paganini, Frost, a concert violinist, is back in D.C. playing an erotic duet with Fausto Kiss, a pianist of great wealth who thrives on everyone's secrets. Caught between cold ambitions and red-hot romance, Frost must fight for her life.

Ladies, It's OUR Turn!.......2004-04-15
Maybe I liked this book so much because I'm a musician -- well, I admit it: an over-the-hill ex-musician. Leslie Frost, the heroine of this book, is a world-class violinist, the widow of a European orchestra conductor, beautiful, athletic, intellectually brilliant, and an international spy! Much of the action takes place in *my* familiar ground of Washington, D.C. Leslie is pursued by the President (a hilarious cartoon of a person who has the brains of a bush and the concupiscience of a cigar-wielder of our experience); she has a stone hideout near Rock Creek and the National Zoo; she is a natural athlete. She meets a super-rich dude who is also a topnotch pianist, and as things unfold, she ends up with the money but not the marital duties. SHE gets pleasured, though. The plot doesn't have to be perfect to make me happy (and it isn't -- those who complain about the Belize segments are justified). This book is a laugh, a comic book, a hoot! Ladies, this is the James Bond life as lived by . . . .US! Not some man's fantasy of superwomanhood, a WOMAN's fantasy of superwomanhood! Go for it!
Hilarious, fast paced and full of action.......2001-01-12
This book is witty and full of great humor. It is half parody, half serious... about a narcissistic maestro violinist who is also an expert spy. The story goes fast, and with Smith's wisecracks and sarcastic sense of humor it will leave you laughing aloud. Leslie Frost, aka Smith, is the perfect, smart heroine for the intensely serious espionage world.
What's In A Name?.......2000-01-07
I don't know about you, but I often get a feeling about the credibility of a novel when I am told the characters' names. Here are some of the people you will meet in J. Weber's Hot Ticket: Fausto Kiss, Krikor Tunalian, Tanqueray Tougaw. Saying Hi to these folks made my heart sink. Am I going to have some serious difficulty in suspending disbelief? Yup.
I was one of JWs biggest fans up until the moment I opened this book. Our protagonist Leslie Frost, concert violinist and secret agent, is assigned the task of solving the Washington D.C. murder of another beautiful, female agent. We meet a lecherous president, and his ambitious wife - at least this is believable - plus a variety of other Washington insiders who all seem a bit strange even for Capital dwellers. Leslie becomes closely attached to Fausto Kiss, a big person around town - big in physical size as well as being influential.
Aside from the strange characters, and the "what's this all about" story, I had problems with the plot mechanics. For a significant part of the book Leslie does no sleuthing, evidently thinking that if she hangs around Fausto long enough someone will spontaneously present her with evidence. Then when she wants to locate someone to interrogate she calls her boss, Maxine, in Germany, and has her locate the desired person. Maxine calls back the next day with the desired information. Wow, what a detective is our Miss Frost. For diversion she makes two trips to Belize. How believable is this? She travels at night to a hidden camp by walking across two jungle mountains in pitch darkness, arriving at dawn the next morning. I live in a rural area without streetlights, and can't even see my house at night when I stand twenty feet away from it.
The humor falls flat; the metaphors and similes are strained; the story drags - although near the end there is an interesting murder with a most unusual weapon. Don't read this book, but do read Janice Weber's other books.

In her smart, brief introduction to this collection of lesbian travel erotica, Linnea Due makes a case for the relationship between travel--which is about displacement, movement, and foreignness--and Eros. This volume brings together work from well-known lesbian authors such as Barbara Wilson, Linda Smukler, and Jess Wells as well as stories by newcomers. The range is astonishing, from a wry vignette of a seduction over a map by Shelly Rafferty to a frightening speculative fiction by Myrna Elana set in a post-holocaust world where people live in underground tunnels. Some of the settings are more expected, such as a night train through Europe, or cyberspace, but all of the stories explore how lesbians cross borders, both sexual and geographic.

From the supplier: Association executives who take the time and effort to incorporate culture into their annual meetings will benefit tremendously in terms of enhanced credibility for their associations. There are three reasons why associations decide on including culture in their meetings. These are to add value to meetings, establish exclusivity and make meetings very attractive to members. However, including a cultural component in an association's meeting entail increased costs, additional planning and more creative thinking.
