I feel like I spend a good part of the day entering verification codes for everything from logging onto banking to logging onto Facebook and Instagram, and then to sites that I cannot figure out why I need verification. I think my phone gets more verification code texts than it does people texts. Using the desktop that I always work on, I am asked for codes, and to note that I use this device and clear it for later use. And then the next time, I once again have to do a code.

Interview: Mike Phillips, author of The Dancing Face

Aug 14, 2025

A Black university professor plans a burglary to “liberate” an African sculpture from a London museum in THE DANCING FACE, a blistering, original thriller that examines the powerful link between identity, sacrifice and possession. In this interview conducted by former publicity executive Michael Barson, Mike Phillips discusses how he felt when he learned that his book, which was originally published in England in 1997, was being released in the US for the first time. He also explains what inspired him to begin writing crime fiction and talks about a possible series adaptation of THE DANCING FACE.

Fall Reading 2025

Fall is known as the biggest season of the year for books. The titles that release during this latter part of the year often become holiday gifts, and many are blockbusters. We spotlighted eight of these books in our Fall Reading Contests and Feature. While our series of 24-hour giveaways have ended, we encourage you to take a look at our featured titles, which we know people will be talking about this fall and beyond.
