Just About Books Internet Radio Talk Show Announces the Winner of the Book Award for Best Fiction - Cheryl's Choice for 2006

Waldorf, MD (PRWEB) December 31, 2006

The Enigma of Njama by Anthony D. Wilbon was honored as winner of the annual Book Award for Best Fiction-Cheryl's Choice, which was announced Saturday, December 23.

Cheryl Robinson, Host and Executive Producer of the Just About Books Talk Show said, "Once again, I am extremely proud to announce our annual award winner and give congratulations to Anthony D. Wilbon for his accomplishment of a well-written intellectual novel."

Robinson said, "Since readers have so much input today through hundreds of reading guides, book reviews and talk show interviews, Cheryl's Choice lets the reader know that I am only going to recommend the most exceptional book of quality for the annual award. The Enigma of Njama is an intriguing and suspenseful book and is certainly worthy of this award."

The Enigma of Njama is the story of Professor Montgomery Quinn, who is entangled in a web of mystery as he struggles to keep his life in tact, while taking on the underground power of Washington, D.C. It begins with Montgomery's friend handing him a thumb drive with an elaborate software code stolen from his wife. The friend goes to investigate the wife's perceived transgression, only to end up comatose after a car accident.

Distraught, Montgomery curiously delves into the software and discovers her involvement in a "secret" society of African American women, the Njama, and soon realizes that they will do anything to preserve their clandestine operation. Quickly, Montgomery's life mysteriously spirals out of control, until he receives help from a covert source.

In a frantic race against time, Montgomery and his accomplices find themselves matching wits with a powerful group of well-connected women. With his life crumbling and the net tightening around him, he has a choice. He can fight back and lose everything or he can try to unravel the Enigma of Njama.

Suspense, fear and tension keep the reader glued to the pages for a well-plotted high tech tale. Wilbon shows masterful skills in weaving an intricate plot that is of interest to readers of all genders and all ages. This is Anthony's first award for his debut novel.

Wilbon said, "I am very happy the book is well received and adopted by book clubs all over the world. And I look forward to pleasing the readers with my next novel."

TaRessa Stovall from the New Jersey Courier Post wrote, "The Enigma of Njama is intriguing, entertaining and just plain fun to read, with a thought-provoking plot full of thrills and sharp turns."

Anthony Wilbon is currently a professor in the information systems department at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland. After more than fifteen years in several high tech and consulting firms, and having always been an avid reader, he knew that he would one day publish a novel. He is currently working on his next novel, Parallel Redemption, another mystery suspense. However, Anthony says that for his third novel, he may just write a sequel to The Enigma of Njama.

This award is one of the few awards presented by Talk Shows that recognize quality as an increasingly important area of African American author's contributions to a book lover's world. This year's winner is off to an excellent start with exceptionally well-written material and we are hoping that other African American authors will follow in his footsteps. Each year, the winner will receive an engraved glass trophy and the award will continue as part of the Just About Books Talk Show's Annual recognition of African American authors. The proud author said, "It is in the third printing and still selling strong."

Just About Books Talk Show will showcase authors, book clubs and literary events each Monday at 9 pm (Eastern Time). Please visit the website and listen to the show on http://www.JustAboutBooksTalkShow.com.
