(PRWEB) July 9, 2006 -- The literary program, Off The Shelf (the show that promotes education and strong reading and writing skills), hosted by writer, Denise Turney (www.chistell.com), resumes taping this month. Denise Turney is the celebrated author of the books Portia, Love Has Many Faces, Spiral and Long Walk Up (her new title). For three years, Turney has carried her literary program at www.blakeradio.com, one of the most successful and longest running African American Internet talk radio stations in the world.

When asked about Off The Shelf, Turney states that, “Off The Shelf is the perfect venue where authors, publishers, editors and others with a strong, active love of literature inform the public about their latest works as well as offer insights on how listeners can pen a bestseller of their own. The show follows a one-hour format. And due to the fact that Off The Shelf airs over the Internet through www.blakeradio.com, our shows are heard around the world 24/7. This allows listeners to tune in to the shows at their convenience. “

Prior guest on Off The Shelf include Darcel Williams, author of the acclaimed book Soaring On Clipped Wings; Yaba Blay, host of Temple University’s Herstory Conference; Maxine Thompson, professional editor and author of The Ebony Tree; Delores Thornton, author and literary activists; Chris Thompson, education director at the Arts Sanctuary; Rina Risper, owner of New Citizens Press; bestselling authors, Brenda Novak, Donna Hill and Denise Campbell; and Roland Martin, national columnist and radio and television personality.

“We have a dynamic line-up of authors, bookstore owners, editors and publicists to kick off the new tapings at Off The Shelf,” Turney informs us. “Included in the talented line-up are: Heather Covington, owner of Disigold Soul; debut writer, Nancy Deering who recently authored My Song; Valerie Coleman, founder of the Pen to Paper Literary Symposium; as well as a gifted writer by the name of Nicole Titus, a native-born Haitian who has authored a powerful and moving book titled Akin To No One.” Turney continues, “Nicole is an author who has gone beyond penning a book. She is using her talent to work with Haitian government agencies to eradicate illiteracy in her home country. She and other guests will provide valuable, first-hand information to our listeners. I’m excited about what the new and exciting shows are bringing forth.”

Turney is also currently putting the finishing touches on her soon-to-be released new title, Long Walk Up (www.chistell.com), a book that tells the story of a young African girl’s journey from abject poverty and despair en route to her triumphant destiny.”
