Omar Tyree
spoke at the All University Convocation on Wednesday, October
27, 2004. At Mary Dod Brown Memorial Chapel. Omar Tyree is a successful
journalist, author, lecturer, poet, screenwriter, songwriter,
and publisher. His stated goals are to create timeless African
American reading material and feature films while continuing community
entrepreneurship.
Tyree
is a graduate of Philadelphia's Central High School, and Howard
University's School of Communications in Washington, D.C. At Howard,
he established himself with the Black press before starting his
own publishing company, MARS Productions. As a rising novelist,
his books include Flyy Girl, A Do Right Man, Capital City, Battle
Zone, Single Mom, Sweet St. Louis, and For The Love Of Money.
His new
book Cold Blooded is a thrilling novel about a jaded college girl
who falls in love with a man she learns is a serial killer. She
loses focus on school and her "commitment to excellence."
After being scorned she becomes more lethal than the hardened
criminal with whom she falls in love.
