Reading & Signing with Bestselling Novelist Carl Weber February 11, 2010

Carl Weber, a New York Times and Essence bestselling author, has had a hand in all aspects of the publishing world. An award-winning bookseller and former writer for the Amsterdam News, he is the founder and publisher of Urban Books, one of the largest African-American owned book publishing companies in the country.

His bestselling and critically acclaimed novels include Married Men, Player Haters, The Preacher’s Son, Something On the Side, and Baby Momma Drama, which held the #1 position for six months on the Essence magazine bestsellers list.

His latest novel, Big Girls Do Cry (published February 2010) is a fast-paced follow-up to his New York Times bestselling novel Something On the Side, which introduced readers to the scandalous world of the Big Girls Book Club. In this new book, the BGBC has a new chapter in Richmond, Virginia, but the biggest drama isn’t between the pages—it’s between the members themselves.

Weber reads and signs his new book, Big Girls Do Cry, at this special author event. Books will be available for purchase.
