Please join me Thursday February 12th for my Valentine’s Day Special with National Best Selling Author, Miasha!

Having been in the book industry for only two years Miasha has five novels under her belt plus a short story in an anthology. She’s caught the attention of major media outlets such as BET, The Wendy Williams Experience, CBS, and CN8 and has been featured in an array of national magazines from Essence to Vibe Vixen. Known for having extravagant release parties and being one of the game’s top hustlers, this best selling author established quite a name for herself.

On The Dedan Tolbert Show, we will be discussing the one-night only return of her hit play “Secret Society” on May 9th!

In the stage adaptation of the controversial, best-selling urban literature novel Secret Society, Celess and Tina are two fly, flashy females who hustle men for money and

material possessions, but they have a dark, twisted secret that, once revealed, proves fatal.

"Secret Society-the stage play-was phenomenal. It definitely brought the characters in Miasha's book to life. The cast was great. By far, it's the best stage depiction of a novel I've seen yet!"

-Brittani Williams~ Best Selling Author of Daddy's Little Girl, Sugar Walls and The Cathouse

"The stage play Secret Society is a masterpiece! Miasha raised the bar for publishers, writers and dreamers!

I felt proud watching such a stunning performance!!!!

-T. Styles President & CEO, The Cartel Publications

Ten years. A decade. Time enough for a high school graduate from a small, sleepy southern town to move on and become something. But what? And is it enough time to forget?

Trayce, an internet entrepreneur, has moved on. Chicago is where she dwells, where she has been hired to manage the very company she founded. Is ten years enough time to heal the emotional scars she's suffered? Scars inflicted from student and teacher alike.

Solomon, a drugstore manager, never moved away. The quiet boy nobody remembers was there for it all and knows all their secrets. After ten disappointing and unfulfilled years, can he put his life on track now and make himself heard?

Janet, the former head cheerleader and homecoming queen, fell from grace following graduation. Las Vegas, which she now calls home, is where she has used her beauty and reinvented herself as an exotic dancer. Is ten years enough time to get over being jilted by the love of her life. If you know Janet, she will find out.

Karim, the handsome and successful New York music video director who is on everyone's lips, wasn't always like that. Ten years ago he was bullied and ridiculed by The Crew, the most popular clique in school. How will they react to him now? In particular, how will one member of this clique react to him?

When summoned to their ten-year class reunion, how will these four handle it?
