Premium ticket holders will have reserved seats in addition to a guaranteed autographed book. Tickets for admission can be accessed at bit.ly/koshersoul. About the book: In his book The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South, Michael brings a fresh perspective to our most divisive cultural issue, race, in this illuminating memoir of Southern cuisine and food culture that traces his ancestry--both black and white--through food, from Africa to America and from slavery to freedom. As he takes us through his ancestral culinary history, Twitty suggests that healing may come from embracing the discomfort of the South's past. Along the way, he reveals a truth that is more than skin deep--the power of food to bring the kin of the enslaved and their former slaveholders to the table, where they can discover the real America together. “Drawing on a wealth of documentary digging, personal interviews, and plenty of time in the kitchen, Twitty ably joins past and present, puzzling out culinary mysteries along the way.” – Kirkus Reviews About MahoganyBooks: Founded in 2007 by husband and wife duo, Derrick and Ramunda Young, in response to their love for literature and their desire to see it empower others as it has empowered them.

  3. Event: February 18, 2012 @ 11:00 am 1417 Thames St, Baltimore, MD 21231 Baltimore’s Frederick Douglass – Isaac Myers Maritime Park & MahoganyBooks present a special afternoon event with television show personality and multi-platinum music artist, Ray J and CEO, “Lifestyle Guru” and boisterous expert on the subject of infidelity, Maxwell Billieon. Together they discuss and sign their highly anticipated collaboration, Death of the Cheating Man: What Every Woman Must Know About Men Who Stray. About the Book from the Publisher: Ten years ago when renowned lifestyle guru, celebrity branding expert and business mogul Maxwell Billieon was bound by cheating in his relationships—because no mentors or role models had ever taught him how to function differently with women—he had an epiphany. Driven by an overwhelming desire to stop cheating, he set out on a life-changing journey to undo decades of destructive behaviors. With no experts or instructors to advise him, Billieon quickly realized he would have to draft his own operating manual for learning how not to cheat. Through insightful observations and copious note-taking, he accomplished this and in the end, created an accessible and foolproof blueprint for avoiding the pitfalls of cheating. Because of his personal success, Billieon decided to share his findings with others in an attempt to teach both men and women the truth about male cheating and to give women the information and skills needed to get and keep faithful men. Now, in DEATH OF THE CHEATING MAN: What Every Woman Must Know About Men Who Stray (Simon & Schuster/Atria/Strebor Books; Billieon—with celebrity personality and multi-platinum artist Ray J serving as a fascinating case study—reveals the hidden truth about unfaithful men and exposes why he believes deceitfulness is the primary cause of the demise of the American family. As Billieon outlines, step-by-step, what women need to know about how and why men manipulate their emotions, coauthor Ray J applies Billieon’s tenets to transform his own life from that of a reckless and indifferent playboy to a man capable of a committed and loving relationship. In a forthright, no-holds-bar style that is reminiscent of Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, Billieon examines male cheating from a global perspective and reveals why powerful men such as John F. Kennedy, Tiger Woods and Arnold Schwarzenegger achieve incredible milestones in extraordinary ways but can’t manage to avoid the temptations of cheating. He also teaches women: how to stop enabling men to cheat; how to create the “New Monogamy”; how to recognize the signs that a man is cheating; the difference between being faithful and being committed; the danger of choosing pockets over pedigree; * how to know when it’s time to “pull a Yoko Ono.” SPECIAL NOTE: Books purchased from MahoganyBooks.com or onsite at the event will be autographed. The event will be held at the Frederick Douglass – Isaac Myers Maritime Park, Baltimore, MD. For more information call 410.685.0295 or 703.370.3873, or email customerservice@MahoganyBooks.com.
