Editor’s Edict ~

It's June. It's Hot! And so is this month's Gazette. Our featured Brown Bettie is the smokin' Hayley Marie Norman who is highly revered by many on NBC's "Deal or No Deal" and is burning her way towards a poker-hot plethora of her own silver screen deals. Three brave readers give some warmth to the debate behind why we might choose a Bad Boy for a mate in Two Sides To Every Love Story and we get a hazy glimpse of a woman's point-of-view on the plight of an abandoned shopping cart in Solitude. Mrs. Cecilie Davis Carter gets heated in Unzipped, while my momma offers a tasty treat with "Bananas" in Momma Said. If you’re getting to your summer reading, you'll enjoy our fiction entry with the second installment of "Harlem's Awakening"...the back story to Harlem & Joe. Be sure to pass the Gazette on to the Brown Betties in your life and --Stay Cool!
