Kola Boof has a new line of "horror" books coming out under a fake name. They're not by Stephen King's wife as peeps tried to report earlier. They must be good since Anne Rice is blurbing her, though. Kola's books: "The Devil Knows Your Name" by Tabitha Tombstone In Cobbler Woods, Georgia, a beautiful young preacher’s wife has no memory of the childhood moment when she flipped open the Holy Bible and found—her name—printed among the scriptures. In the tradition of “The Exorcist” and “Rosemary’s Baby”…Tabitha Tombstone has written a graphically horrifying tale of demonic possession that comes to chilling life amongst black church people in a rural Georgia town. There's no use praying...once the devil knows your name. "An imaginatively spine-tingling debut!"--Anne Rice "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" by Tabitha Tombstone "The Bleeding Bed" by Tabitha Tombstone I think Kola and Zane are on the same publisher now. Isn't Touchstone Books a part of Simon and Schuster? I could be wrong. I don't know. Kola's always been scary to me so I think she's going to do well with this. I know most people here really hate her, but I find her to be so much more creative and inventive than the other authors who post here. She's really like 'twisted' but in a gifted way.

Tabitha Tombstone and I have the same agent. http://www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/LuvAmerica/ Dr. Dre, Noire, Angelina Jolie, Jesse Ventura and Tracy Price Thompson have the same agent as well. Going by your reasoning-- any one of them could be Tabitha as well, but I hear that Ms. Tombstone is the caretaker of the cemetary in back of her deceased father's church down in Georgia. Btw, My script for Paramount Pictures is finished. Ken Atchity is not just my book agent, but is my Producer. His production company is currently producing Jim Carrey's new movie "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" and he just finished producing Noire's first movie "Hitting the Bricks" (based on her upcoming novel). Noire is the Top Selling Queen of Urban Erotica and this is just the first in a string of Noire movies by Ken. I adore Ken and hope for him to produce my first movie. *At this moment, it appears that my first book release on a "major house" will be "VIRGINS IN THE BEEHIVE", a hip hop novel that was 'cancelled'--but is truly a classic and will be a massive hit, I believe. I have 4 Kola Boof titles coming out, but it looks like "Virgins In the Beehive" will be the kick-off. I wish Tabitha Tombstone all the best with her horror line. If you want to read something really powerful THIS YEAR, then make sure you read "GATHER TOGETHER IN MY NAME" by Hurston/Wright Award winner Tracy Price Thompson. This book is amazing. It follows an innocent black man on death row who is falsely accused of murdering a child. Page by page, you are led to this innocent man's execution. The book will wring you inside out. It's a must read. Even with the Hurston/Wright Award under her belt, I don't believe that Tracy Price Thompson has gotten the attention she deserves as a writer. She's really great and this book is my favorite so far this year.
