Summary: From Author Timmothy B. McCann... Thank You From The Heart
Review: .........and self-discovery. Emotions by Timmothy McCann is a lesson on "things happen for a reason." Why do certain folks come into our life when they do?Both Joi Weston, actress in the autumn of her acting career, and Michael Brockmier, an author in a musician's body trying (seemingly unsuccessfully) to live up to other's expectations, are two people who are instantly drawn to each other upon first site. Joi, however, is "happily married"....at least so she proclaims. Nonetheless, the chemistry is so strong, these individuals come together inspite of it all. While Brockmier is in NYC dealing with the perils of the publishing industry, Joi is down in Florida trying to determine how to obtain some of her true passions as she aproaches 40 yrs. old. Can she be content as the wife of a politician (which is not too far from being an actress)....or, is L.A. calling her name to pick up on her acting career? What I liked about this book is how the author was so vivid in his descriptions that it was more like watching a movie instead of reading a book. I also thought it was special to read about someone who was in her 40's; her thought processes, fears and dreams. Inspite of all the pain, sorrow and soul-searching decisions Joi (which rhymes with star) has to deal with, you see a woman who realizes that no matter what age, we are always evolving. This story tells us that sometimes we learn more from our adversities than we do our successes. This was a smooth, thought provoking read. One that's great for book club discussion, complete with a readers guide at the end. Check it out!

Summary: Again
Review: Again. Another gem. Another wonderfully written, intricately woven, deeply drawn piece from the author of Until..., Always, and Forever. Emotions satisfies on every level as a work of fiction. Characters you can see, touch, and experience. A plot line, like a maze, carefully constructed, and oh so pleasant to journey through. Life, for everyone, is a quest to find out what our true purpose is. What our true calling is. Michael Brockmier II, Joi Weston, the two main characters in the novel face that very dilemma. Who they truly are. Is Brockmier just the son of a genius writer--or is he a writer himself? Is Joi Weston just an aging ex-Hollywood starlet turned doting and supportive wife? Can the two of them find the answers they seek in a forbidden romance? Board the lush prose bus and travel with them to find the answers. Explore the tragedies of their life, the eroticism of their union. Prepare yourself for the entertaining way McCann molds triumph, hurt, joy, and pain out of their lives. A deeply moving piece that will have you lost in thought long after you close the back flap. McCann has done it... again.

Summary: Saw this book in Essence and thought I would pick it up...
Review: And the next thing I knew I was reading it on the subway train. Believe it or not I read this book in a matter of hours. This brother is a great story teller and I look forward to reading his other stories as well. His style is different and that was a good change of pace.

Summary: Tim touches emotions with Emotions
Review: Emotions is a sensitive book about love, loss, mistakes and forgiveness. It is a touching story with several interesting plot parallels. His characters are well-developed and are easy to identify with, but I would like to have seen the story go further. He ends the book where the interesting stories would just begin. Is a sequel in the works? Regardless, Tim writes a very readable, enjoyable, and entertaining story that will consume its readers over a long weekend. And while the book may be targeted to an African-American audience, its story is not at all limited to that experience. I would recommend it highly to those looking for a good read.

Summary: From Author Timmothy B. McCann... Thank You From The Heart
Review: How Do You Say Good Bye To A Friend? For seven years I have written professionally and for seven years you have shared with me your likes, and dislikes about my words. Sometimes I was able to move you... some times I was able to touch you... some times I may have even confused the hell out of you. But it was my endeavor to at all times make you think. I have written my last sentence. And when I say that's hard to type as a man who once declared "I write for the same reason I breathe," it's true. Why? The industry is changing and I have not willfully changed with it. While reviewing a contract for a 5th and 6th novel, it became apparent to me that if I signed it-I would be signing away apart of my soul and if you have read me you know I would never do such a thing. When I wrote UNTIL... it was written from the heart. It was a story I wanted to hear so I wrote it and the same holds true from each subsequent novel. No, everyone did not love my work... but then again every one does not even love the Bible so this I understand. But for the readers out there who felt cut off when the site was closed down. For the readers out there we felt shunned when they could no longer e mail me their thoughts. For the fellow novelist out there that felt I walked away from friendships, I apologize. Please charge it to my head and not my heart because you will never know how much it means to look at AMAZON and see a note posted by readers from all over the world. To my author friends I felt like a divorced spouse... who's friends all are married. I trust you will understand. Remember how you felt when you found out there was no Santa? That's how I felt when I decided to move forward in my life. I mean... my 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9th novels were outlined. I wanted to tell you these stories and I now I will only have them in the attic for my kids to read. Speaking of kids. They are now 12 and 13 and as a single dad my days are numbered so I decided that it was time to enjoy the moments I still have with them.
But at the end of the day I was just a brother telling stories. You honored me by reading them as you honor me by reading this letter. For this I will forever be grateful. In closing my first novel posed the question, "have you ever seen someone for the first time and just knew how much you missed them?" After writing this letter to you... after a seven year love affair, after having my heart broken by conditions beyond my control, after apart of me having drawn its last breath, I now understand.... Until... Timm

Summary: Emotionally Captivating
Review: I have enjoyed reading McCann's work since day one. Emotions has to be his best work yet. I was not able to put it down. I was finished within 24 hours. McCann has a way of getting you to relate with the characters. Would definitely recommend this book to everyone I meet. Congratulations and much success!

Summary: Filled with pure Emotions
Review: I have read all of this authors work and I think he is truly underrated. I would never compare authors but I will say this as a testement to his value as a writer. He always makes you one of the characters in his novels. You feel what the characters are going through as if you are sitting there with them and although I am not a writer I think that must be a most difficult feat to accomplish. Of all the books he has written I loved this one the most becasue I used to be an actror and ended up leaving hollywon't (as he writes) because I was over the hill at 33. I read what Joi went through and it made me weep at times. But then moments later this author had me laughing and again he would have me feeling romantic. Thank you Timmothy B. McCann for doing what you seem to do so well.
