Okay, I told you I had some news to share with you this week, and now here it is: I am a new contributing writer for the Clarion Ledger. This is both an honor and a great achievement for the C. A. Webb brand.

Every Thursday you will be able to read one of my interviews with National and regional artists, authors, producers and the like in either the Southern Style section of the paper or the Weekend section.

They can also be found online by visiting www.clarionledger.com and clicking on either the SOUTHERN STYLE or WEEKEND section.

My first article was the Tyler Perry interview that appeared just a couple of weeks ago. This week it is an in-depth discussion with National Bestselling author Francis Ray. Here is the link to read the article online:

I want to thank Jamesetta Walker with the Clarion Ledger for her support and belief in the work that I am doing. And of course I have to thank all of you who have been there for me through the good and the bad.

Support the Clarion Ledger. Share with me your thoughts, and remember what I always tell you:

The best is yet to come! (And there is another exciting announcement coming this weekend!)
