Featuring NYT bestselling author Carl Weber discussing his scandalously spirited new novel SOMETHING ON THE SIDE. Weber introduces readers to the bodacious women of the Big Girls Book Club (BGBC) Tammy, Egypt, Isis, Nikki, Coco, and Tiny. There’s only one rule to be a member of this club, you must be at least a size 14 to join. At the center of the club is president, Tammy. She loves everything about her life— her family, her friends, but most of all she’d do anything for her husband Tim. So much so, that for his birthday, she’s convinced that involving her best friend Egypt in a threesome with them would be the perfect gift, now if she could just convince Egypt. Isis and her boyfriend, Tony, seem to have the perfect relationship — that is until a man from her past steps back into her life with only one goal in mind, to win back the woman he’s has never been able to forget. Single mom Nikki isn’t so lucky with men. After loving the father of her soon for so long, all she wants to do now is kill him, especially since he can’t seem to stop disappointing their son every chance he gets—and then making her look like the bad guy. Last but certainly not least, there’s hot-to-trot Coco Brown, who has a habit of messing around with married men. It doesn’t bother her, as long as they don’t try to deny it.

There, with deep love, each embraces his unfolding destiny.A GOOD DOG is a book to savor... Just as Orson was the author’s lifetime dog, his story is a lifetime treasure...poignant, timeless, and powerful...Brought to you by TriCom Podcast, dedicated to putting Authors In Your Pocket (tm)...http://www.authorsinyourpocket.com
