GIVEAWAY: 3 copies of The Secrets of Newberry by Victor McGlothin

June 4, 2010 by Darlene


I’ve got a giveaway for 3 copies of The Secrets of Newberry by Victor McGlothin courtesy of Valerie at Hachette Book Group. I haven’t read this novel but it sure does sound like a good one and I just love the cover. Here’s some info on The Secrets of Newberry…

For Ivory Bones Arcineaux and Julian Bynote, life in 1950s New Orleans couldn’t be sweeter. Friends since they met in an illegal gambling house in Newberry, Louisiana, they have their pick of all the fine women, good food, and hot nights they can handle. They seem to have it made-especially Julian who begins to make a new life for himself after meeting the beautiful, classy Magnolia Garbo at a social. But both men are about to find out that letting the good times roll can be deadly when a simple robbery goes wrong and Julian witnesses Bones murdering a man in cold blood.

About the Author

Essence bestselling author Victor McGlothin is a former bank vice-president who nearly forfeited an athletic scholarship due to poor reading skills. Ultimately, he overcame that obstacle and later completed a Masters degree in Human Relations & Business. Victor is also an on-line columnist of Victor Said?, a real Brotha to Sistah look at relationship.

Victor lives in Dallas with his wife and two sons.

Be sure to visit Victor McGlothin’s website as well!
