The Essence Music Festival will be the last event on a 12 city tour for Anderson that included Chicago, St. Louis and Los Angeles which began in May. “It has all truly been a blessing,” she says, “Sometimes I still pinch myself.” In only five short months, her novel, Love, Ocean, has gained national attention in the educational arena and currently being adopted in the curriculum of more than fifty schools and youth programs throughout the country.
Love, Ocean is the first of four in the Ocean Series. Anderson will also be published alongside E. Lynn Harris by Random House in a compilation of short stories entitled, Love Is Stronger Than Pride, with a tentative release date of July 2009. She uses her novels along with an interactive presentation for teenagers, entitled G.A.M.E.T.I.M.E (Gaining a Meaningful Education to Insure Maximum Elevation), to empower young adults who feel powerless to achieve greatness.
Love, Ocean is not a love story. It is however, a story about love and how "it" alone is the glue that holds America together.
