The African American Literature Book Club (AALBC.com), Mosaicbooks.com and Booksthatclick.com have partnered together to promote Walter Mosely's latest title What Next: A Memoir Toward World Peace on each of their respective web sites through April 2003.

Combined, the three web sites enjoy over 2.5 million page views and over 150,000 unique visitors monthly. What Next is published by Black Classic Press and distributed by Publishers Group West.

"This is truly a powerful relationship that we have forged. It is exciting doing business with black organizations that have what it takes to successfully operate in the electronic age. This is a first for BCP and What Next, by Walter, is a wonderful book to promote this way." Paul Coates, owner, director, Black Classic Press.
