Tell Them I'm Not Home Feature

"Tell Them I'm Not Home" is a lightly fictionalized memoir of growing up in the Olney section of North Philadelphia in the decade following World War Ii, a place not unlike Jean Shepherd's Hammond, Indiana of a decade earlier. The close-quarters life in a blue-collar neighborhood of row-house streets provided the author with a cast of characters, many funny, some scary, as well as a near-endless litany of stories. "Tell Them I'm Not Home" is a ticket back to the Olney of the late 1940s and early 1950s, a place as singular, colorful and as lost to today as Hapsburg Vienna or tenement New York.

Tell Me Something Good Feature

GOOD LOVIN'Lyrissa Rideau's determined to reclaim her legacy: a valuable heirloom that was stolen from her family decades ago. She's been hired to evaluate the art collection of the powerful Creole St. Denis family, and her goal seems close at hand, but there's a complication -- Noel St. Denis is giving her the eye. New Orleans's most eligible bachelor, the dusky, upper-crust dreamboat is used to getting anything he desires. And if Lyrissa's to succeed, she'll have to keep her own eye on the prize ... and off of Noel's fine, manly form!

What's up with the woman? The king of the brief, hot affair, CEO Noel's got the money, the power and enough sweet talk to charm any lady -- yet Lyrissa's the first to make him consider a permanent merger. He'd love to taste those luscious full lips, but it's also clear she's got something besides loving on her mind. Lyrissa thinks her secrets and her heart are safe, but she'd better watch out -- cause sexy Noel's coming on... with a passion!
