I'm so happy to see the series growing and it will continue to grow! It is awesome!

Dear Mr. Barnes, I needed to let you know that your book "Ruby & The Booker Boys" inspired my daughter who is 81/2 years old. She chose this book to do a book report project for school where they had to tell about the story by displaying it own a poster board then they have to dress as the character. I thank you for Ruby Booker because my daughter was able to pick a character that is similar to her since she is the minority in her school.

My daughter has read all four books and she loved them. I sent you an email on other possible promotion avenues (i.e. Facebook fan page etc.). I checked your 2010 schedule..any chances for a stop in Chicago. I have two thoughts...1. an appearance/promo at my daughters school and 2 a friend of mine is a principal at a predominantly AA elementary school. I'd be happy to explore these options for promotions. I would love to see this series grow!!

Awesome story! Keep up the great work.

Hello Derricka and family! I bought three of your books for my nieces for Christmas and had no idea you were a fellow JSU alum. You inspire me! I'm so proud of what you are doing. Keep up the good for and for a long time.
