The original 245 page book was written May 1986, along with the songs, from the creative mind of a young writer, Michele' Williams. The storyline was written before many African-American authors of today were given the opportunity to write or publish many of their literary works. The author has decided to keep the original 1986 setting and written content, for the reading of those who are not afraid to read into the world, just as it really is. Much of the material and content is virtually the same. Yet it is enhanced with the obedience and perfectly right timing, that has been allowed by God. Why? To help many other young souls that are in this same walk receive deliverance. The characters: Meet Shelley, a young black female who is going through a divorce from her husband that she married for mere convenience and NOT love. She then met and was consumed by a young man, who literally mastered the art of being a SMOOTH TALKER: Meet Franklin. The thought of being young, naïve, manipulated and controlled by a man never crossed her mind, because she always had her guard up. But his ways were smooth, calculating and charming, which regretfully stole her heart and soul. In 2008, the award-winning Inspirational Gospel Stage Play - SMOOTH TALKER (He's Good At What He Does) portrays Shelley as a free-spirited female, who was supported by a whole cast of close, funny and wise friends who were there to help her get through this unbelievable relationship phase, including her soon-to-be ex-husband, CJ. With a twist of many fates, she endured much, to find the most rewarding end, one could have ever imagined. You too, will be surprised with the ending in the book, play, audio cd and film, as the storyline tells of what it is to be trapped in a relationship filled with love, lying and deceit! Such a riveting novel!!
