Would Your Reading Group Like to Talk to Abiola?

Hey Gorgeous,

Are you part of a reading group? Thinking of starting a book club or DARE TO BE group?

It's been so much fun meeting all of your reading groups across the country! I've been everywhere from malls to Barnes and Noble stores to Borders to WalMarts. So many dynamic readers out there-- women and men of all colors! In response to your demand, there is now fabulous Dare merchandise available for your groups.

I look forward to continuing to answer questions by email or schedule 30-minute conferences by speaker phone when your club or group is reading Dare! Depending on my schedule, I might even be able to speak to your group in person. Please fill out the BOOK CLUB FORM BELOW to let me know. You can also meet me on tour or watch Dare related videos here. Thanks so much for your interest in my work!

xo,

P.S. Please check out my fun, motivational, new blog.
