About: When someone is murdered on New Year's Eve, the prime suspect is Valerie Maas, a church-going home-maker whose life unravels when she discovers that her husband of many years has been leading a double life. Her strength of character and faith keep her going as the revelation of her husband's betrayal threatens to destroy all that they have known.


Overview of Gloria's Radio Bio

I began my broadcasting career in 1988 on WANT 990/AM Radio (now defunct) in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Preston T. Brown (P.T.) was the program manager at the time. Eight years later, when P.T. bought into his own radio station, he continued supporting my work in talk-radio.

On the WCLM 1450/AM airways’ since 1996, ‘Speaking from the Heart', is the station’s longest running issue-oriented talk show. In September of 2004, I initiated a Radio Book Club called Voices from the Drum, which airs at least twice a month. The 'Radio Book Club' is committed to presenting some charismatic authors and stimulating dialogue, and it became an immediate hit with my audience.  For author and book reviews, check out my 'Radio Book Club' page; for a complete list of authors interviewed on 'Voices from the Drum (VFTD), check out my 'Archived VFTD Show' tabs on this web site. To be added to the mailing list for upcoming shows, stop by and sign my 'Contact / Guestbook' page. 

Over the past twenty-years, I have explored a myriad of topics and interviewed numerous intriguing guests, nationally, and even internationally. A partial listing of some of my high-profile guests are: Don Beyer, [former] Lieutenant Governor of Virginia; James 'Jim' Gilmore, [former] Governor of Virginia; Colonel William Bryant, Governor's Cabinet Member/first Black Secretary of Education in Virginia; Allegra McCullough, Governor's Cabinet Member/first Black Assistant Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and [former] Director of the Virginia Department of Minority Business Enterprise; Virginia State Senators, Benjamin Lambert, III and Henry Marsh, III; best-selling authors such as Leslie Esdaile Banks, Bebe Moore Campbell, Sam Greenlee, and international best-selling author, Laurence Gardner; acclaimed actor and producer of the hit sitcom 'Roc', Charles Dutton, and actor Carl Gordon (played the father in the sitcom, 'Roc'; Tony-Award-winning actress and recording artist, Melba Moore; award-winning actor/filmmaker Bill Duke.
