3 of the June launch runway

Two weeks out, and everything changes. On June 14, George's mother, Gladys Duhart, becomes a published author at 96 years young with her debut novel, Naomi Good. One week later, on Father's Day, June 21, his father, Lyrie Duhart - a jazzman who played with Ray Charles in 1943, an Army veteran, soon to turn 99 - releases his first book, The Joneses. In this walk, George counts down to both launches and carries one truth: you are never too old, never too late, to begin the thing God placed in your heart. Two elders. Two debut books. One bloodline still standing. Grab the free first chapter of both books (link below) and mark your calendar: June 14 and June 21. #NaomiGood #TheJoneses #WeAreStillStanding *  Free first chapter - Naomi Good: https://georgegeesmedianetwork.com/naomigood [https://georgegeesmedianetwork.com/naomigood] *  Free first chapter - The Joneses: https://georgegeesmedianetwork.com/thejoneses [https://georgegeesmedianetwork.com/thejoneses] *  George Gee's Media Network: GeorgeGeesMediaNetwork.com [http://GeorgeGeesMediaNetwork.com]

Mom at 96, A Debut Novelist

Today is Mother's Day. Today my mom Gladys Duhart  becomes a published author at 96 years young. Mom was born in 1930 in McComb, Mississippi. She  left at 18 for East Hartford, Connecticut. She  married my father Lyrie in 1950. They have been  married for over 75 years. They raised five  children. A few years ago, mom was sitting in a nursing home  when she told me God spoke to her. He said she  had stories left to tell. So mom started talking.  I started writing. Page by page, a novel emerged. The book is called Naomi Good. It is faith-based  fiction grounded in the real Mississippi mom  remembers. A Black woman in 1931 rural Mississippi  who refuses to disappear. Today, on Mother's Day, the book is real. In this episode, I share mom's story, the story  of Naomi Good, and the moment family came through  first when my cousin Karen reserved the very  first signed copy. Mom is hand-signing the first 50 paperback copies  herself. When the 50 are gone, the signed edition  closes forever. The bigger message for every Champion carrying a  story they haven't put on the page yet: the page  is still empty. You are still allowed to fill it. 🔗 Reserve your signed copy: https://buy.stripe.com/cNi6oG2QOe9F9a3cnH2Ji00 [https://buy.stripe.com/cNi6oG2QOe9F9a3cnH2Ji00] 📖 Investment: $24.99 plus $5.99 shipping 📍 Ships within 14 days from Manchester, Connecticut 👵🏾 Limited to the first 50 readers, signed by  mom herself The Kindle ebook publishes on Amazon this week.  The paperback follows shortly after.
