We want to welcome our new DJ for the Motor City Book Experience- DJ Royal T!
"Royalty is associated with class, sophistication, elegance and high status. DJ Royal T is a purveyor of personalized, expansive, feel-good grooves to create the ambiance that will elevate your atmosphere."
Always connected to music, "Royal T" was introduced to the world of music through her father, a percussionist. It was common to hear 'Earth, Wind & Fire', 'Carlos Santana', 'P-Funk', 'Herbie Hancock', 'Stevie Wonder',
'David Bowie', 'Miles Davis' with the best of soul, jazz, and pop music continuously as a child in her home. Coupled with her love for hip hop & innovative independent music, her repertoire is quite wide.
Later becoming a musician of her own, Royal T gained her own personal appreciation of music as a dancer/choreographer and by picking up a few instruments as well. Years of study and performance
broadened her diverse understanding of what stimulates, invigorates & "makes you move".
She transformed her journey through music from participant and component of a band or dance
ensemble to creator and navigator of the melodic experience. Royal T is often called to set the mood for
distinguished clients and events, new and established businesses, fashion events, "pop-ups", and where
the overall inspiration is to simultaneously promote positive excitement, class and movement.
"For me, it's all about enjoyment and enhancing the atmosphere aesthetically...by tapping into several senses:
what you hear, see and (most importantly)... feel."

Breyana is a twenty year old student. Since the age of 12, she has possessed the talent of creatively binding words together. When she desires to be isolated, she confines herself inside her sanctuary of beautiful words. She believes that if your mind whispers it, then you must release it to the world. Look out for this young woman’s dazzling journey as an up and coming poet.
To my audience,
To any one that is reading that has a talent, please do not hold back from the world in fear of not being accepted. Every talent is unique and beautiful and should be shared with the world. Nothing should be able to stop you from being who you are truly meant to be. Everyone has a message that needs to be heard. If no one is listening, then the message was not meant for them. Don’t ever give up in possibility of defeat. No matter how many times you are pushed down, you should always find strength to get back up and try even harder. For, the greatest names known to man have fallen many times before they became who they were. Nothing can be perfect, so make the best of your imperfect story.
With love,
Breyana Norman

The acronym S.L. stands for Smooth Like and Butta is the slang term for butter.
S.L. Butta is a Native Detroit Author. She has always loved reading and writing stories from an early age.

S.L. Butta went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in English from Marygrove College. As a hobby, she would write different types of stories for fun and put them in a box in her closet. S.L. Butta’s girlfriends always told her she should publish some of her stories and let others enjoy them instead of letting them collect dust. She finally decided to listen. Her first release, "Sexual Synergy": Erotic Stories & Love Poems focuses on sex with substance. The stories are smooth, romantic, seductive and powerful. S.L. Butta hopes these stories will have those same affects on her reader’s sexual relationships.

Please welcome India T. Norfleet-Lewis to The Motor City Book Experience!
Detroit Born and raised, India Tasheena Norfleet became an avid reader at a young age. Eventually, she was never seen without a book. While India began reading a wide array of books of many different genres, it was during the late nineties that India was introduced to African American fiction and fell completely in love with stories from the African American perspective. Romance very quickly became her favorite genre. By the time she entered high school, India had no other dream bigger than becoming a bestselling romance author and poet.
As years progressed to adulthood, dreams of becoming a writer fell by the wayside as doubt consumed her and the real world set in. But, writing romances never left her heart. Family and friends, as well as some of her favorite authors continued to encourage her to never give up on something she was so passionate about. So in the summer of 2010, India finally sat down to pen what would become her first novel, "Playing For Keeps". India has fourteen books to date (Romance & Erotica) and is currently signed to Danielle Marcus Presents! India lives in suburban Michigan and is hard at work on her next novel....

Let's welcome Lisa R. Gray to the Motor City Book Experience!
Author Lisa R. Gray, LLPC, M.A. is a licensed minister and has a Master of Arts in Counseling & Education.
She has written "They Don’t Tell" (Child Abuse: A Mother’s Perspective).
“Mom, if I had something to tell you, would you be a Mom or would you be a friend?”
Those are the words that are forever etched in my mind.
I am a mother. My daughter, my baby, my precious and special girl whom I love like life itself was violated.
She was used, abused, mistreated and had her innocence stolen from her while she was still a little girl.
What this book is not - this is not her story, but my story. This is a mother’s viewpoint. This is not an expose
the abuse my daughter suffered. I am not attempting to tell her story. This is my story with my daughter’s
complete and explicit support.
So, what is a Mother to do? Focus on what you can do! You can’t change the past, but you can change her future. You can show her courage
under pressure and you can be supportive as you receive your own support from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This is the true story of
redeeming love. You will want to have this book and give a copy to a friend.

Please welcome James Roby to The Motor City Book Experience!
James H. Roby III was born in Detroit, MI. After attending Cass Technical High School, he went to Michigan State University. While there, he enrolled in Air Force ROTC. Upon graduation, he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant. James was one of sixteen lieutenants hand selected to be the initial cadre of ‘Gold Bar’ Recruiters. After completing this assignment, he went to Andenberg Air Force Base for training as a Missile Launch Officer. Training completed, he was assigned to Minot Air Force Base where he spent four years, three months, twenty-three days and seventeen hours as a missileer in the 91st Missile Wing. Before leaving, he earned his Masters' degree from Central Michigan University. While there, James started his first novel: "Past Debts". After Minot, he was an instructor at the University of South Alabama. While there, he expanded his role to include teaching at the University of West Florida. This tour of duty was followed by a remote assignment at Clear Air Station in Alaska. James completed his military service at Peterson Air Force Base.
After ‘wandering the wilderness of civilian employment, he finally landed at Aon. The novels that would be the 'UrbanKnights' almost never came about. It was only after a spouse of one of his fellow instructors got a hold of an incomplete "Past Debts" that James was inspired to continuing writing. The 'UrbanKnights' reflect some of James’ loves: classic movie detectives, James Bond, and of course - Detroit.
When he isn’t foiling crimes through his character, Jordan Noble, James is involved with his family; his wife (Alicia) and his other ladies – his mother, sister and niece back home in Detroit. A true child of his generation, late nights will find him taking down enemies of every stripe on his Xbox. While at lunch, his nose can be found in between the pages of the works of Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, Dashiell Hammett, Ian Fleming, or Walter Mosley.
James has done his share of traveling. He’s been to World cities like London and Toronto, seen three icebergs come together 500 miles above the Arctic Circle and watched dolphins play in the Caribbean. Still no matter what, even when he’s not in Detroit, Detroit is in him.

Please welcome Kimberly Batchelor Davis to The Motor City Book Experience!
Kimberly Batchelor Davis has been in love with books since she was a child. Who would’ve known that God
would bless her with the gift of writing? However, He did and she was reminded of that on September 11, 2001
after the devastating attacks on America. Kimberly’s desire to write was renewed. Kimberly fervently believes that
“We live by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). It reminds us to continue to put our faith in God instead
of ourselves. She realized that something was missing from her life; it was writing. She says: “I had to have a
purpose and it wasn’t just about making money, I had to give back in some way—I just didn’t know how.”
Since then, she has not looked back. She lives by this in creating stories that have shared experiences and
which inspire or cause people to think about situations in a different way. Recently, she released
“Rose and the Enchanted Seven” and “Escape to Paradise: Book 1”, a fictional romantic trilogy book series.
Kimberly has been featured on the Brand New Mommy and the Bougie Black Girl blogs where she discusses
her bout of depression, motherhood and writing. She has published articles with Saved Magazine and Mi Estilo,
an online Hispanic magazine. She speaks professionally on issues that she's passionate about
which include: motherhood, literacy, community civic engagement and writing.

Please welcome Landis Lain to The Motor City Book Experience!
Landis Lain began her writing career in the first grade when she penned a story about a girl in a fire. An avid romance
and mystery reader, Landis hails from Detroit, Michigan. She graduated from Michigan State University (Go Spartans!)
and snaffled a law degree because her mother told her “writers starve so get a real job!” She is an Administrative Law Judge and has worked as an Assistant City Attorney, a Hearing Officer with the Michigan Department of Corrections, and an Assistant Attorney General.
After penning many stories, she dusted off her courage enough to send a few out to publishers. ‘Daddy’s Baby’ debuts as her reverential prose to her muse; young people. Landis has won the Michigan Land Contest for her story 'Dead King Furniture'. Her short story 'Rusty Feet' was published in Chicken Soup for the African American Soul and Color Him Father. "Correct Madness: Diary of a Mad Corrections Officer" was her first full length publication. She has written for the Lansing State Journal Community Advisory Board. She writes young adult fiction, adult fiction, creative non-fiction, inspirational, contemporary romance and short stories.
When Landis is not writing or lawyering, she can be found teaching Writing Composition to 1st year college students.
She loves books, dance, theatre, sports and romance. She especially loves spending time with her children (both birth and of her heart) – when they squeeze
her into their busy social lives. She resides in Lansing, Michigan with her husband, Frank, who she considers her own personal Prince among men.
