Summary

Making use of his signature themes of love and friendship, bestselling author E. Lynn Harris has created Love Is Stronger than Pride, a collection of five novellas, with a signature work from Harris along with the work of four up-and-coming writers. The book will benefit several charities, including the E. Lynn Harris Foundation, the Hurston Wright Foundation, and an endowed scholarship at the University of Arkansas. A contest will be held and readers will vote and decide which unknown novella is the best. The winner will be offered a publishing contract from Harlem Moon. In "R & B," Harris serves up an irresistible tale featuring two of his most beloved characters-the ever-steady Raymond Tyler and unpredictable bad-boy John "Basil" Henderson. Will pride go before a fall? Or will love finally triumph over self-love? Dedicated to helping and nurturing the next generation of writers, Harris has provided the perfect launch for new commercial stars, and like Harris's, their dream of being a published author may be fulfilled. The contest details will appear on elynnharris.com. Let the writing begin.
