Since November 2006, Conversations Book Club has been changing the way that books are discusssed and read in Mississippi--- and even beyond. Already in 2007 the group has talked directly to over 40 authors through its live discussions and hosted nine authors in personal appearances.

Thanks to the partnership with Medgar Evers Library, the organization has been able to meet twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays at 6p.m. CST), sharing its love of books with others--- and with favorable results.

Now as the summer approaches, Conversations Book Club prepares for new endeavors and exciting partnerships, thanks to the support of the state of Mississippi.

On Monday, June 4th, C. A. Webb (the founder of the book club) will be the guest for a live worldwide interview on www.artistfirst.com. He will be discussing the success of his sophomore spoken word project MY CONTROVERSY, his upcoming novella DESTINY'S CHILD, his book clubs and other projects. This will take place beginning at 5p.m. CST and will include listeners' emails. You can visit the website and click the LISTEN LIVE button to hear the discussion.
