ESSENCE Magazine, America’s leading publication targeting African American women, has selected Tracie Howard’s forthcoming novel, "Friends and Fauxs" as its ’Juicy Read’ for August 2009.

The designation (which appears in their latest issue--on newsstands now), summarizes her sexy thriller this way:

“…….Tracie Howard whips up a potent mix of social climbing and sin in Friends and Fauxs”. The storyteller’s sequel to her 2007 offering, "Gold Diggers" once again features heroine Gillian Tillman and a tantalizing peek behind Hollywood’s velvet ropes.”

Known for a distinctive style which wraps ’Gucci, glitz and glamour’ around spine-tingling plots, "Friends and Fauxs" signals an exciting new chapter for Ms. Howard on the heels of her best-selling, “Gold Diggers”.

The highly-anticipated new novel will be available in-stores (nationwide) on July 28th. Pre-orders can be processed now via amazon.com

"Friends and Fauxs" and "Gold Diggers" are both published by Random House.
