About the Books
WANTED: Grace and the Guiltless (Book 1)
by Erin Johnson
Release Date: August 1, 2014
As the first book in the new young-adult series Wanted, Grace and the Guiltless is an edge-of-your-seat, gripping thrill ride. Set in the Wild West, the book piggybacks on the success of the strong female character in "True Grit," and presents Grace Milton, a character whose once-peaceful life on a horse ranch outside Tombstone, Arizona, is shattered in one devastating night.
Her family is brutally murdered by the notorious Guiltless Gang, leaving Grace the only survivor. Trekking into the wilderness on her stallion, Grace falls ill from the elements. A young man named Joe saves her life by taking her to an Apache camp where she learns about their way of life and begins to fall for Joe. When Grace encounters one of the Guiltless Gang, her strength will be tested. Can she survive as a bounty hunter, or will she fall into darkness again? This Western revenge epic will captivate teen readers with its ruthless spirit of suspense and adventure and a powerful central romance.
WANTED: Her Cold Revenge (Book 2)
by Erin Johnson
Release Date: August 1, 2015
The second book in the gripping Wanted series, this Western revenge epic is a must-read for teen readers who are fans of relentless action, wild horses and heart-wrenching romance.
Grace Milton has only one goal: bring to justice the Guiltless Gang, the outlaws who slaughtered her parents and siblings. That's why she had to abandoned Joe and her Apache friends. She couldn't afford any distractions. Now, she's on her own making her living in Arizona as one of the only female bounty hunters in the Wild West, despite the doubts and protests of others. But when Joe shows up in town, Grace is torn. Feelings she thought she had left behind are rekindled, and the passion threatens to pull her away from her mission. But soon rumors surface that two members of the Guiltless Gang are nearby, planning a daring train robbery, and now Grace is faced with an impossible choice. Will she stay with Joe and forget her vendetta, or risk everything – her love, her life – to fulfill her all-consuming need for vengeance?

Bet You Didn't Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of "A Different World"
A Different World was added to Netflix recently, becoming popular all over again. Newer generations can watch what life is like at a historically Black college or university as well as witness other relatable experiences to most young people. However, there are plenty of behind-the-scenes secrets you all might not know about this college-set sitcom, which was a direct spin-off of The Cosby Show.
TBT: That Time Kadeem Hardison And Cree Summer Dated
Memba when Cree Summer and Kadeem Hardison were a couple #IRL? Us neither, but #FreddieBrooks and #DwayneWayne were @imanidawson's two favorite #ADifferentWorld characters. Who were your faves? @iamcreesummer @kahmoshun. #Hillman #younglove #tbt #throwback #naturalhair #teamnatural #curlcrush #ilovethe90s #tribecalledcurl
Thanks to Tribe Called Curl, I learned a new fun fact today. This might be old news to some of you, but I had no idea (or had forgotten) that Kadeem Hardison (Dwayne Wayne) and Cree Summer (Freddie Brooks) dated in real life.
Many of us watched the show and remember the undeniable chemistry between Dwayne and Whitley. So we were completely preoccupied with whether or not they were dating in real life. Turns out, it was another cast member who had his heart.
For those, like me, who didn't know and need receipts, here they are. So, two years ago, Essence asked Hardison if it was awkward playing Jasmine Guy's love interest while dating Cree Summer.
He said:
That wasn't even my concern at the time. Dominic [Hoffman], Jasmine's boyfriend at the time, did some spots on the show. It's like you have your work wife and home wife. But your home wife also happens to work with you. As much as that could have been sticky, they were so in love with each, it was never an issue. Good God, if you thought me and Darryl (Ron) were close, he and Jasmine were inseparable. They brought out the silliness in each other.
According to People, who spoke with both Hardison and Summer, the two only dated for a year but there are plenty of images capturing their union, including this one Cree recently posted on her Instagram page.
Being that so many of us believed in Whitley and Dwayne's love, one of my coworkers had a hard time seeing these two together.
I think they were pretty adorable.
Aahhh…days gone by.

#WontHeDoIt! 'A Different World' Is Coming To Netflix
Every few weeks, Netflix revamps its content and sends or takes away our favorite gems. The New York Observer has announced the news we've been waiting for: A Different World is coming to Netflix! The hit '90s show that inspired us to go to college never gets tired. And we're excited to be locked up in the house to catch up on the lives of Denise, Whitley and Dwayne. Netflix will also be adding the seventh season of Mad Men and Halle Berry's film Frankie & Alice.
It is a surprise, though, that Netflix is supporting the work of Bill Cosby after canceling his November 2014 comedy special due to the mounting sexual assault allegations against him. Cosby created A Different World as a spin-off for The Cosby Show to showcase Huxtable daughter Denise's college experience.
The complete season of A Different World will debut on March 15.

A Comical Christmas: 15 Of The Best Holiday TV Episodes From Our Favorite Sitcoms
The holidays are about a lot of great things, but there's nothing quite like curling up to watch marathons of your favorite holiday sitcoms. Here are 15 of our favorites from over the years!
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air – "Twas The Night Before Christening"
Remember when Will told everybody he was going to bring Boyz II Men to Nicky's christening and he actually made it happen? Man, I'm getting chills just from thinking about their soulful rendition of "Silent Night." It took some serious convincing (especially since Will stole Wanya's girl from back in the day when they all lived in Philly) but we're glad the brotherly love prevailed.
10 Sitcoms That Helped Remove Stigma From HIV And AIDS
When HIV and AIDS started spreading in the United States, there was all types of fear. And where there's fear there's usually hatred. People who were diagnosed were often shunned by coworkers, associates, friends and even family members. People didn't understand the disease and how you could catch it. And so the media, executing one of their more noble functions, helped to dismantle the stereotypes. Check out some of the series who featured some memorable episodes dealing with HIV or AIDS.
From Pledging To Crashing Weddings: Our 15 Favorite Episodes Of "A Different World"
You knew exactly what time it was when Aretha Franklin proudly proclaimed, "I know my parents love me! Stand behind me come what may."At the sound of her soulful cry we didn't just walk to the TV, we ran!
"A Different World" wasn't just a spin-off of The Cosby Show, it was a series that continuously peeled back the layers on important issues in the lives of young people in our society, and was just simply a well-written, entertaining program. As a huge fan, I've seen most episodes of the show, so I thought I'd share a few of my favorites. Feel free to share your own!
Rudy and The Snow Queen (Season 1 Episode 6)
Who wouldn't want Denise Huxtable as an older sister? Better yet, who wouldn't want Whitley Gilbert as one as well? In this episode from the first season (you know, when Denise went to Hillman) Rudy tries to have the best of both worlds, but in the end, realizes there's no sibling bond stronger than that of the Huxtables.

From "Clueless" To "A Different World": 15 Popular TV And Movie Cast Reunions
Nothing makes you feel more old and out of touch than realizing the fictional characters you fell in love with have grown up and look a lot different. Ever wonder what the cast of "Full House," "The Little Rascals" and "A Different World" look like now? Check out this slideshow and find out, and see the reunions of a few of your other favorite TV and movie casts.
Watch The Cast Of A Different World On Where Are They Now? + Raven Symone And Vivica Fox
The impact of "A Different World" cannot be overstated. A television show that inspired students of all races and ethnicities to attend college? That's major. And although the show has long since been off the air, its impact is still very strong.
So Oprah sat down with some of the cast members for her "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" series on OWN.
Hillman alum Jasmine Guy (Whitley Gilbert), Kadeem Hardison (Dwayne Wayne), Dawn Lewis (Jalessa Taylor), Sinbad (Coach Oakes), Darryl M. Bell (Ron Johnson), Cree Summer (Freddie Brooks) and executive producer of the show Debbie Allen all sat down to discuss the things they've been up to since they left the hit NBC series.
As you know, "A Different World" was a spinoff of "The Cosby Show" so the cast took time to pay homage to the genius of Bill Cosby in creating this groundbreaking show.
See what they had to say.
The cast of A Different World will appear on OWN on Sunday, October 26 at 9pm.
But before you catch up with these folks, Raven Symone sits down with Oprah to speak candidly about her life after childhood super stardom, including the Tweet that presumably announced to the world that she was a lesbian. You can watch Raven's "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" episode on October 5 at 9pm. On that same day, you'll have a chance to catch up with Jenna Von Oy (aka Six from "Blossom" and Stevie Van Lowe on "The Parkers.")
And then on the following Sunday, October 12 you can see what Vivica Fox is doing these days.
Looks like a jam-packed season full of familiar faces. We're here for it.
"Together Again": Cast Of "A Different World" Reunite To Chat With Oprah [Photos]
"I know my parents love me, stand behind me cooooome what may…" That was the first thing you would hear every time A Different World started playing on TV (usually on Thursday evenings). The sitcom came on during the good 'ol days of television–before reality TV, and when there were a wide variety of black folks represented on the silver screen. And now, the cast of the show is reuniting for Oprah Winfrey.
Cree Summer, who played Freddie Brooks, posted pictures on Instagram with her old cast mates on set of what seems to be the taping of the OWN network's Where Are They Now? show. While Lisa Bonet, Jada Pinkett Smith, Charnele Brown (Kimberly Reese), Karen Malina White (Charmaine) and Marisa Tomei weren't present, all the other main characters showed up and still look pretty good! That includes Daryl M. Bell, Sinbad, Dawnn Lewis, Summer, Kadeem Hardison, Jasmine Guy and Debbie Allen, who produced and often directed the show.
This isn't the first time that the cast has reunited for TV. In 2006, Nick at Nite did a week-long marathon of A Different World episodes, and some of the cast came together to reminisce.
In 2012, Allen said that she would like to reboot the show for a new audience, and many people seemed to like the idea. But nothing will touch the greatness of the original, and this cast of characters.
Check out pics from the cast's time with Oprah below and on the next page.
Where Are They Now? The Super-Fine, Black Sitcom Boyfriends (And Husbands) We Wanted For Ourselves
Some of the best shows from the '90s and early '00s had everything. Good writing, great acting, and good looking men. These brothas brought some of our favorite characters happiness, drama, and a good time, and for us, they brought eye candy we were looking for on our favorite TV nights (Monday used to be THE day to watch TV on UPN back in the day!). So where have some of our favorite crushes gone? Let's take a look shall we! Be warned, some have changed not necessarily for the worst…but let's just say they've changed a lot.
Quinton "Q" Brooks played by Fredro Starr on Moesha
Now they knew damn well that "Q" didn't look like nobody's high school student. On for two seasons and occasionally returning, Q was Moesha's longest relationship, and probably the one that brought her the most drama. Fredro Starr of the hip-hop group Onyx played this role, and had some serious acting experience previous to playing Q (Clockers anyone?). Afterwards, he kept acting in a little bit of everything, including roles in Save The Last Dance, playing gunman Bird on The Wire, and still focusing on his music. He recently had beef with DMX of all people. As for what he's looking like, these days, he looks okay…

Greenpeace activists occupy the anchor chain of the ship Clipper Hope, near São Luis do Maranhão port, with a banner reading 'Amazon Crime' and 'Dilma, Desliga a Motoserra (President Dilma, turn off the chainsaw)'. The activists are preventing the departure of the ship from the Amazon to the USA, where its cargo of pig iron will be used to make steel for the US car industry. Greenpeace is taking action to expose a trio of serious crimes in the production of Brazilian pig iron including slave labour, deforestation and the invasion of indigenous lands. The organization is calling for Dilma to protect the Amazon and the people who depend on it, as well as veto changes to the country's 'forest code' and support Greenpeace's call for zero deforestation.05/14/2012
