OCTOBER 31, 2007- HEAT LIST COUNTDOWN

Happy Halloween literary lovers. Today’s HEATLIST COUNTDOWN is brought to you by the Tonya Blount Show over at www.TonyaBlountShow.com.

10. Have you heard Jay Z’s new American Gangster cut with Lil Wayne entitled “Hello Brooklyn.” It’s a head banger for the clubs and heating up the radios. Nice work Mr. Carter. 9. Everyone is reading “There’s Always a Reason” by William Frederick Cooper.” He places his alter ego William McCall in the story and this makes the book a winner because if you know William, he’s quite an interesting guy and has A LOT OF DAMN FANS! 8. Have you read “Before the Mayflower?” Well, it’s time to read Race Beat by Gene Roberts and Hank Klibanoff. Know your history! 7. Christian Fiction is exploding on the literary scene in fast paced motion. This untapped market is soaring thanks to authors like Pat Simmons. Her new book, “Guilty of Love” will make you make you want to read Christian books on the regular. “Don’t act like I never told ya!”- Kanye West. 6. An underated artist on the scene right now is TANK. His album is a solid DisilgoldSOUL hit but no one is really buzzing about the R& B crooner. Is he Robin Given’s boyfriend? Does this have something to do with why everyone is so quiet about Tank? DisilgoldSOUL minds want to know! And who is he talking about in the song, COLDEST! 5. Do you like 50 Cent’s 50×50 book or what? Looks like everyone is talking about the pristeen quality. Or are you jealous because you wish you could create a book like this? Don’t feel bad. The book is manufactured overseas. It’s not your fault! This is state of the art technology here. Don’t write a memoir unless you can top the production of this book. Really, 50 Cent is just taking over . Next thing you know, he’ll have a tv show, his own Leer Jet and a television network with Tyler Perry and Justin Timberlake to rival MTV with outlandish Howard Stern style shows, a return to BET’s former latenight broadcasting of raunchy rap videos and an amusement park for the kids to shut everyone up! This guy is not satisfied with 50 Cent or 50 million. He’s going for 5 billion! 4. Get Yours by Amy DuBois Barnett continues to heat up  Amazon sales. It’s the IT book, the ladies and gents just have to get. 3. Is Funk Flex the most exciting DJ worldwide? When this “VOICE” on 105.1fm shouts out a new jam, you just want to run out and get the album. He’s like a referee on the mic and to be respected. If you keep tuning in to his show, you’ll be broke! 2. Tonya Blount Show is the hot buzz that has taken off! We’re hoping to get an interview soon from the new TV TALK SHOW QUEEN! Domestic violence is real and Tonya brings relevant news and information to watchers that makes the difference. Her show has received outstanding feedback 1. Everyone has been buzzing about Kevin L. We have received so much feedback, expect a follow-up and for Kevin L. to grace the Celebrity Interview link at www.Disilgold.com with our top requested magazine cover boys and girls. Well, that’s your HEAT LIST and tune in tomorrow, same time, same place to see who else has got the heat!

The Amazon bestseller list not only reflects consistent sellers, but records books that receive more sales than your average  sales in one day. Therefore, if you ask all of your friends to please buy your book on a specific day, you become a bestseller for that day or as long as the effect lasts. Some days there aren’t any more than 10 books sold of your top books and perhaps 1-6 sold of other moderately selling books. Therefore, bestselling status may not reflect anymore than a few hundred to a thousand books. However, having an Amazon Bestseller carries weight on flyers, in press kits, press releases and even book covers. Your goal is to impress your potential consumers who do care that you are making an effort to maximally sell out your book. In fact, the inspiration you give may encourage others to support your work as well. Good luck here, but don’t dwell on this. Sometimes folks need to see your content before purchasing, so that’s where in person sales count and booksignings. One day you will create that book that people just order by the millions. Keep brainstorming, but most of all write from the heart because nothing beats an author who is enthusiastic about one’s work whether a bestseller or not. Your time is coming! www.Disilgold.com.

(DisilgoldSOUL, USA-October 23, 2007)- She was performing at her peak tonight on the show, “Dancing With the Stars,” and just dropped to the floor so hard everyone in America is worried. Just in: Marie is fine. She was so excited that her hyperventalating caused her to pass out. She apologized for failing to breathe and said she has fainted before in the same fashion. It is amazing how she got up like a good sport! WOW! Even the host said, “Marie scared the crap out of me!” Glad all is okay. What a great personality. I am not going to vote for Marie however, because she chose a Samba dance that requires expertise and it just wasn’t executed well. I don’t think she passed out to earn more votes as you will hear by tomorrow’s news on headline pages. And if she did faint, “You go Marie.” Sheez, with 8 kids, why not get some long overdue recognition. So that makes Beyonce, Kelly, Marie and Michelle who have fallen down during performances. I say start a new Destiny’s Fall Girls Group. That would work and millions of albums would sell. Marie’s got soul. Remember her from the show Donnie and Osmond? “Well maybe not? I don’t remember the show either. I just know she’s got a brother who looks like her and they had a show once. Visit www.Disilgold.com ”The No. 1 African American Literary & Media Infused Network” for more Top Headline News on the Daily Literary Dish provided courtesy of Heather “The Literary Heat” Covington.

(DisilgoldSOUL, USA)- The interview was going great, but then an interviewer on the CW31 tried to chastise Janet Jackson with questions about her Superbowl mishap where her wardrobe malfunctioned as Justin Timberlake pulled off her garment exposing her  body. The singer has already paid heavily for the mishap and for the reporter to attack Janet Jackson even with light humor is like punching a black woman in the face trying to do right and overcome her past mistakes. The interviewer should be FIRED immediately. His actions were rude and senseless. What is this TMZ.com. This is the news Janet and Tyler Perry appeared on together.. It’s a good thing Tyler was there to defend her. What a shame. The vice president can live down shooting his best friend by accident, but Janet is condemned forever while Justin gets off with a slap on the wrist for pulling off her top with such tenacity in the first place. You mean to tell me Justin didn’t know when he pulled of her garment that something less would be exposed. If it had been a bra, janet would have still been charged with indecent exposure. It was like a hush, hush set up. Black women are always taking the fall. See the interview for yourself. Wonder who put this clown interviewer up to questioning Janet or was this contrived publicity as well. You just never know nowadays, and perhaps, I am better off not defending the issue. Perhaps, Janet will speak on it herself.

(DisilgoldSOUL, USA)- DisilgoldSOUL Magazine, a quality media resource, received so many requests to attend mogul media events in 2006 into 2007, there simply has not been enough time to load on photos of the most popular events attended by DisilgoldSOUL Magazine and we wish to apologize for being so selfish and only focusing on our celebrity literary artists, but since I have completed my first debut novel, Tekila Nika, I have agreed to take on the arduous responsibility of accrediting one of the most historical events, and that is when Steve Harvey, a multi-million dollar comedian on the rise agreed to fill the morning slot for the sheer fun and enjoyment of staying connected to his fans. My editors didn’t want to load a single picture of any celebs unless I approved because everything at Disilgold.com has to have substance and some integrity. We’re not here to bring anyone down. It’s all about history at Disilgold.com. However, I have to admit that when I tuned into the show at first , it didn’t seem like Steve Harvey was compatible with Jacque Reid, a real sweetie from the person I met, but way too strong a personality for the light-hearted host’s jokes.  I think Jacque wanted to debate rather than nurture an everlasting radio relationship with a male shock jock on the rise. Things got way too personal on air. The chemistry just wasn’t there.  Regardless, the show took off and it was Disilgold SOUL Magazine that received word first from WBLS headquarters that the network has won the prestigious Marconi Best Urban Radio Award. After the Katrina Hurricane, the network’s national syndication was temporarily cut off, but WBLS is back at the top. Now Nephew Tommy fills in when Steve Harvey is on the road, and the show is off -the -wall, crazy entertaining and just what folks need to wake up in the morning. I love it. Steve’s ADVICE makes sense as compared to some “stupid radio hosts and media personalities who simply spread bad tips based on their own wasted vicarious lives like ignorant fools and destroying people’s lives with their own confusion”  and Disilgold would never syndicate that crap to any of its YGA members. (CHUCKLES)

Other times, Steve Harvey gets a little too carried away, but that’s his Devil’s Advocate role people see right through.  In our opinion, Steve Harvey’s personality is equivocal to someone like Oprah. He just commands your attention. Steve was very personable and took photos with everyone at the VIP WBLS party. Almost every top media entity was invited. Unfortunately, some were left out in the cold and we never wear credentials to events, so we couldn’t help out anyone this time.  What  I got was   that Steve Harvey was in dire need of losing  maybe 10 pounds. Being on the road can  add pounds, so now he’s all fit and trim, feels great, has a new fiancee’ and enjoying the good life once again. His hard work on the road has paid off and make no mistake about it, Steve Harvey is a star! Mornings wouldn’t be right without Steve Harvey’s personality in the morning. His stylish persona gives men a role model to emmulate and he just jokes with folks I think to pass on the humility he endured on his road to success. Some folks need that because this is what you will encounter in the world. So there you have it, visit www.disilgold.com sometime this week to see all never before released photos. Disilgold@aol.com.

Photo of David L.?

David L. is a rising black male author on the scene who has been creating quite a controversial buzz for a while as this mysterious urban thriller writer who can give Dean Koontz a run for his money in his latest hit, Over Your Dead Body! The critics are talking about his first edition that went out as arc galleys, but looked like the real thing I guess because there is nothing wrong with making a little money off  of your pre-publication excerpts and galleys if you can do it. Something happened quite miraculously  for David L. He’s become an urban street seller who is cornering a specific niche market that wants THRILLERS. If you’ve seen David L.’s new cover for his book, you may notice a man with his back turned, knife in hand and a lady who looks very familiar for some reason while laying dead on the grounds of a forest.  I think that’s a famous author model. In fact, I am sure!Where I am getting at is how this bone chilling cover is so on  point that if you are a black woman, you may feel like that lady on the ground is you! Okay, I said it! This book frightened me at first glance. I was like who dared to send me this book? Next thing I know, the guy who sent the book to Disilgold is not only the publisher, but standing right in front of me at a major event and attempting to introduce himself. I got goosebumps all over and looked for my bodyguards because for one, anyone who writes a book this morbid has got to have some kind of dark past, right? I am convinced that David L. is the character Preston Price whose wife Janelle, suspects he’s been cheating on her. I quickly dodge David L. and not to be rude, but he has this real eery look and doesn’t even smile in real life! I feel bad about this situation so I decide to read David L.’s book again without biased opinions. Nevermind that he’s a serious acting person, never smiles and quite mysterious. My goal is to review this book that folks are talking about with such critical praise, and has others ranting and raving over  his personality issues  so, that one may not be able to see the makings of a baby thriller writer.  As I flipped the pages of OVER YOUR DEAD BODY, I now visualized Preston Price as David L. Hey, thanks for the visual Preston. I GET IT NOW! You go boy! David L. has been role playing as Preston Price in real life. Okay, so he’s a nice guy who’s been taken for granted by his wife and was true to her, but here comes the friends of the friends of the family and all the little trouble makers who get all in their business and distrust begins to turn into reality. In fact, it’s sort of scary funny and bone-picking chilling as episodes erupt! You suspect the worse and it happens as Preston fights desperately to save his image that his wife has destroyed. All I have to say to the women out there, never ever accuse your man of cheating on you unless you have hardcore facts because what you wish for may become deadly true! I rated David L’s book a sizzling 5 Stars! Don’t want to give away spoilers! He’s a fascinating thriller writer like Brnadon Massey thus far! If this author can pen 10 more thrillers he’ll officially be a modern day thriller writer for keeps. For now, David is that wonder boy with a wicked pen! The funniest line you can look forward to when this book is converted into a movie for the big screen is,” You ungrateful bastard! I HATE YOU!” But–Guess who said it! Look for David L.’s debut on the

www.Disilgold.com.

He’s an author and publisher who holds a Bachelors Degree in Communications and Human Relations and a Masters Degree in Social Work with a concentration in clinical administration. David has authored several published articles relating to race relations; “How To” articles in becoming a self-published author. He also works with emotional and behavioral challenged youth. 

In the fall of 2004, he self -published his first novel – It’s Like Butter, Baby and became one of New York City’s best selling self publishers. His new release Over Your Dead Body, is set in present-day New York, written in character-specific dialogue to effectively capture the essence of its realism to urban America.  Visit his website, but please don’t tell this author I sent you. I still have major issues with his personality! www.totalpackagepublications.com

Here is a site from a poster here on the Daily Literary Dish that I wanted to kick back our audience to. Check this site out. I left a comment as a friendly gesture that no one wants me to critique models. I didn’t know I was such a harsh model reviewer.  Maybe it will help these men on the HOT CF LIST get a job somewhere.Then come on back and visit www.Disilgold.com.
