hello thumpers corner folk
my apologies for shameless promotion
but i would like to tell the corner crew
about my new book -
Mojorising: Confessions of a 21st Century Conjureman
by arthur flowers

half memoir, half sacred text, it is an attempt to explore my evolution as a contemporary hoodooman, define contemporary hoodoo, and offer conjuric speculations on the destiny of the black race

its come out w/an alternative press so i got to do shameless guerilla promotion

its available on amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0971581606/qid=1058338952/sr=8-2/r ef=sr_8_2/103-6458998-1018225?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

i have excerpts online on my website rootwork.com
http://www.rootwork.com/struggle.htm

thanks for consideration
be well
arf

Mr. Flowers:

I loved Another Good Loving Blues and it is a local favorite. I heard you read from it here in St. Louis at Duff's restaurant a few years ago.

Hello Arthur,

It is so good of you to stop by!! I can't wait to read it!! Ain't no harm in doing some self promotion. Like my old pastor use to say, its a sad dog that won't wag its own tail.

Hey Arthur.

Your good buddy is my mentor - Brenda Connor Bey. She gave me a copy of your book as a gift and it was one of the best reads I had had in a while. I put it on my best book list. I'm happy to see you spreading the word Mojo Rising. Its a book everybody needs to check out.

Just read your excerpt on John O. Killens; great stuff. It surprises me that more folks aren't familiar with his work. I've enjoyed your first two books and I'm sure I'll enjoy this one.
