 Dear Book Lover:
In our continuing effort to bring you the best annual literary event each year, we are proud to announce that joining us at next year's NBCC will be none other than the provocative NY Times bestselling author, Zane.
This, of course, is another major coup for the NBCC. Zane, who burst upon the literary scene with erotic novels "Addicted" and "The Sex Chronicles," has become a media mogul. Her imprint, Strebor Books, is flourishing.
"Zane's Sex Chronicles" is a popular cable television series on Cinemax. She has other incredible ventures to be launched in the near future. And she still sells hundreds of thousands of books per release. At the 2010 NBCC, the world's largest book club meeting will feature all 500 attendees reading Zane's upcoming new book, "Total Eclipse of the Heart," which will be released on December 1st. Zane will lead the discussion about her book, which promises to be another captivating read, in a wonderful and enlightening book club meeting.
This is a rare occasion that only the NBCC can provide. So, make sure to join us for an exciting and memorable conference, July 30th through August 1st at the Atlanta Hyatt Regency.

Updated Website Full of Info
Photos, author roster, new features
 We took our time with updating the NBCC website after the '09 event because we wanted ot make sure it had the best representation of what we did and what we do. Well, the wait is over. On our updated site, we look forward to another incomparable conference in 2010 and back at an '09 NBCCC that was awesome.
Be sure to watch NBCC-TV with At Home With. . . Tina McElroy Ansa; Dr. Cornel West (above) at the NBCC awards dinner (courtesy of www.aalbc.com and Troy Johnson); a tribute to the late, great E. Lynn Harris; Author Spotlight with Nathan McCall and so much more.
There is also Author Profile, where monthly an author of the 2010 NBCC will be highlighted. And learn less serious info about authors in Ask An Author. And we will monthly take note of a reading group in Book Club Spotlight.
So carve out a few minutes and give www.nationalbookclubconference.com a look. You surely will enjoy.

"That Was Then This Is Now" Goes Into Third Print Run
 I would be remiss if I did not thank you all for the incredible support and outstanding feedback I have received for and about my new novel, "That Was Then This Is Now."
The word is spreading across the country, and I'm proud that it has started with you. Thanks so much.
In publishing the book, I did the unconventional and placed little value on bestseller lists. Having been No. 1 on the Essence bestsellers list with my first novel, "Baggage Check," I know of the joy and pride that comes with that kind of acknowledgment.
With "That Was Then This Is Now," I want to create a new business model where the book is sold without regard for bestseller lists and only on my website, www.curtisbunn.com. It is an ideal way to make a connection with the readers who support me and to send them a signed copy with each purchase. And I can/will offer specials to supporters and accept invitations to lead discussions at book clubs that purchase the book.
We know the power of word of mouth and I thank you for helping spread the word and ask that you continue to do so. The book is a virtual tour inside the minds of men and an emotional, fun, learning odyssey that surely will engage you from the first page to the last. Read an excerpt and order your copy today by clicking on the cover or at www.curtisbunn.com.

Your support means so much, and I am grateful. Look to hear from me again, soon, with more author additions (additions that will make you very excited) in coming weeks. In the meantime, happy reading!!!
Peace and blessings,
