The Master's House: Dismantling the School to Prison Nexus
The Master's House:
Dismantling the School to Prison Nexus
Drawing on decades of experience as an educator, researcher, and advocate for educational equity, Dr. Perkins delves into the historical and contemporary factors that have created and sustained the pipeline. He explores the disproportionate impact of zero-tolerance policies, the over-policing of schools, and the biases that lead to the criminalization of Black, Latinx, and other students of color. Through vivid case studies, data analysis, and personal narratives, Dr. Perkins illustrates the human cost of these practices and the urgent need for reform.
But Dismantling the School to Prison Nexus is not just a critique of the current system; it is also a powerful call to action. Dr. Perkins provides a blueprint for educators, administrators, policymakers, and community leaders committed to creating more just and equitable schools. He advocates for the adoption of restorative practices, culturally responsive pedagogy, and comprehensive support systems that address the root causes of student behavior and foster a positive school climate.

A Certain Four: The Emerald Avenue Intervention Book 1
A Certain Four:
The Emerald Avenue Intervention Book 1
When Chicago businessman Abbot Oneal grudgingly acquiesces to his pastor’s insistence that he enter the election for the seat of a popular county commissioner, he unwittingly gains a glimpse into the thriving cesspool of crime and depravity flourishing under the approving eye of city government.
Disgusted by rampant and wanton lawlessness in his community, and the lingering pain over his father’s senseless murder thirty-six years before, Abbot becomes driven enough to put his marriage, his livelihood, and his very life on the line to bring down the man he believes is the key enabler of corruption in the city. Buoyed by a string of supernatural interventions in pivotal moments that seem to lend righteous legitimacy to his cause, he and his small team mount an effective offensive . . . that is until a shocking revelation comes to light that changes everything; and a string of strange misfortunes and direct attacks against his campaign, his business, and the people he loves, threatens to overshadow the fire in his heart for the masses of suffering people in a community under siege.

The Importance of Starting Christmas Book Promotion Early: A Strategic Guide for Authors
The Importance of Starting Christmas Book Promotion Early: A Strategic Guide for Authors
As the holiday season approaches, many authors may feel the pressure to promote their books to capitalize on the gift-giving frenzy. Christmas presents the perfect opportunity for book lovers and gift buyers to discover new titles, whether they're shopping for friends, family, or themselves. However, like many things in life, timing is everything. Starting your Christmas book promotion early can make all the difference between a successful holiday season and one that misses its mark. Here's why you should begin your festive marketing efforts well in advance:
1. Beat the Holiday Noise
The Christmas season is notoriously busy in the marketing world. Every brand, author, and creator is competing for attention. Starting early gives your book a chance to be seen before the onslaught of holiday advertisements fills everyone's inbox and social feeds. By the time the holiday rush is in full swing, potential buyers may already have your book in mind because you've been quietly (but consistently) promoting it for weeks.
2. Build Momentum with Time
Promoting a book isn't just about slapping a discount on it and sending out a single email. It takes time to build momentum. Early promotions allow you to create a strategy that unfolds over several weeks. You can introduce teasers, sneak peeks, special holiday editions, or bundled offers to keep interest growing. Slow and steady marketing helps your book stay top of mind as Christmas approaches, giving it the best chance to become a sought-after gift.
3. More Time for Book Reviews and Word of Mouth
If you start your Christmas promotions early, you give readers the chance to discover, read, and review your book before the season is in full swing. Positive reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations can be your best marketing tools, but they take time to build. Reaching out to book bloggers, influencers, and early readers in October or November ensures that your book will have reviews circulating by the time shoppers start making their lists.
4. Leverage Special Holiday Offers
Holiday marketing often includes special deals like discounts, limited-time offers, or exclusive content. Starting early allows you to plan and spread these promotions out to create sustained interest in your book. Rather than running one last-minute holiday sale, you can entice readers with pre-Christmas offers like Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals, as well as more niche promotions like "12 Days of Christmas" bundles.
5. Create Buzz with Holiday-Themed Content
When you start your promotion early, you have more time to engage readers with holiday-themed content. Whether it's a festive short story based on your book, a holiday reading guide, or a giveaway that ties into the Christmas spirit, early promotions give you time to create content that connects with the season. You can also align your social media campaigns, blogs, and email newsletters with the holiday vibe to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your audience.
6. Take Advantage of Media and Press Opportunities
Journalists and media outlets start looking for holiday-related content and recommendations as early as September and October. If you want your book featured in holiday gift guides, interviews, or podcasts, you need to get your pitches out early. By getting ahead of the game, you increase the chances of your book being highlighted in these valuable spots, reaching readers who may not have discovered it otherwise.
7. Give Yourself Time to Plan and Adjust
Promoting a book during the holidays can be overwhelming, especially if you're juggling other responsibilities like writing your next project. Starting early gives you the time and flexibility to plan your campaigns, test different strategies, and adjust as needed. You won't feel the same pressure to rush through everything, and your promotions will likely be more effective as a result.
8. Extend the Shopping Season
Not everyone waits until Christmas Eve to buy gifts (though some do). Many people start shopping for the holidays as early as October. Early promotion means your book will be visible to these early-bird shoppers, who often appreciate getting their holiday lists checked off in advance. By starting early, you're effectively extending the holiday shopping season for your book and increasing its chances of being purchased.
9. Stay Ahead of Shipping Delays
With the rise of online shopping, shipping delays during the holiday season have become a common problem. Starting your promotion early encourages readers to purchase your book before the shipping window gets tight. This is especially important if you're offering signed copies or special editions that may take longer to fulfill.
10. Less Stress for You
Finally, starting early means less stress for you as an author. By spacing out your promotions and marketing efforts, you can avoid the last-minute scramble that often accompanies holiday sales. You'll have time to refine your messaging, test different ads, and ensure that everything is running smoothly without the pressure of a looming deadline.
Conclusion: Don't Wait, Start Today
The holiday season is a golden opportunity for authors to showcase their books, but only if you're prepared. By starting your Christmas book promotion early, you'll avoid the chaos of the holiday rush, build meaningful engagement with your audience, and give your book the best chance to become a Christmas bestseller. So don’t wait—start planning your promotions today and set yourself up for a successful holiday season!
