Temeka Johnson, Kenner native, Bonnabel and LSU graduate and the point guard for the Tulsa Shock of the WNBA, will be filing reports this season.
Temeka Johnson had a book signing event last week in Phoenix.
Happy Tuesday to each and everyone of you. I cone to you today sharing some good news. This past weekend we were able to gather back-to-back wins on the road against the Phoenix Mercury and San Antonio Stars. I also had great book signing at the Hard Rock Cafe in Phoenix. The support their was amazing and I couldn't have asked for it to go any better. I sold out of all the books. I didn't think so at first until I got a message saying whatever books are not sold, my friend Bryan was going to buy the rest and donate them. What an awesome outcome. If you haven't picked up your copy please do so on www.amazon.com and let me know what you think.
We have four more games left and I'm still looking forward to our continued success. It's hard to fast forward to the end so for me Thursday's game is the next important one. We take on the New York Liberty for the first time this season; it should be a fun one. Stay tuned as I keep you all posted on these next few games and then back to Russia I go.
Until next time.
