| Jermaine Jackson To Release Michael Jackson Memoir 'You Are Not Alone' in september Venus | May 17, 2011 at 3:48 pm | Categories: Jackson Family | URL: http://wp.me/p1i8PP-4M0
Jermaine Jackson has revealed that he has changed his release date for his memoirs about his late brother Michael, and it has been brought forward by one month.
The former Jackson 5 star admitted that the change of date does affect the coverage of Dr. Conrad Murray's trial for involuntary manslaughter of the 'Thriller' singer.
Jackson claims that the memoir won't show Michael as a "media caricature" but as a "human".
In a series of tweets, Jackson announced the news last night on his sister Janet's 45th birthday, he said: "Change of publication date for my memoir on Michael, 'YOU ARE NOT ALONE', is Sept 13th in UK & US.
"Original pub date was Oct 13th but then trial date moved, and I wasn't having the book published during proceedings..."
Jackson continued: "this memoir will now stand as a testimony to the real Michael & his true character, reminding the world who he was, moving forward... obvious consequence of book's new timing: it won't cover trial/evidence. but it will defend Michael's memory first & foremost with the truth."
He also added: "this book's primary aim is to share memories that celebrate my brother as a human not a media caricature #mythbusting"
Can you say reading material for the jury? | |

I dont understand some of the wording here. What does moving forward mean in that context? And also, he was planning on covering the trial in his book? I dont get the mythbusting thing. | |

| I don't know how the book could have had anything about the trial in it now. If the trial had started in May as originally planned, maybe so. The original publish date was October 16. But, from what Jermaine says, I'm not too sure it would have covered it at all. Just the way the stuff reads, I don't think Jermaine would have put it in the book.
As for what "moving forward" means, I have no idea. It really doesn't make sense. Moving what? forward? | |

| As in moving forward without him? Jermain has to talk about himself. That's just a given. | |

| Ah, yes. Now it makes sense. I just read on Jermaine's twitter page that he didn't want the book released during the trial. That's why the date has been moved up.
Plus, PianoGames (Tom) has been asking him some pretty direct questions lately on twitter. Unfortunately, and not surprisingly, no answers from Jermaine. Mainly questions like why is there no name on the crypt, why did TMZ announce the death 6 minutes before Jermaine. Basically easy questions but no answers. If Jermaine is tweeting that MJ is dead, I don't understand why he won't answer questions so that "believers" will believe him. | |

| I haven't seen one yet. You can always go to Amazon or Borders, etc., type in the name of the book, and see if it comes up. I may try that later today. If I find anything, I'll let you know. | |

| So far, I found it at Borders.com. It can be pre-ordered and I think the price is around $18. I haven't checked Amazon yet but I will and I'll let you know. | |

| Will do, Dareme. Tracy, unless you find it for free online, you're still putting money in his pocket. If you find it for free, let me know. Besides, this book HAS to be better than LaToya's. | |

| Haha, I haven't read Latoya's book.. There is a site.. Ummm Jedi or something lol.. I cannot remember the name of it, but with exception of the books that I did buy of Michaels.. Anyone else who writes one about him I read it on that site. I wont pay for books by people I don't trust to have Michael's best interest. I didn't even pay for Leonard Rowes book.. It's on that site too! Hmm.. I am pretty sure it's posted on this site somewhere.. Unless you cannot wait, buy it.. but if you can wait it WILL be on this site sooner or later. My feeling is you wont wait, lol. | |

| You know me too well, Tracy. I already have the book and am reading it. I haven't gotten very far yet. I don't seem to have as much time to read like I used to. At this point, we haven't gotten out of childhood in Gary yet. But, if the book is anything like what I've read so far, it will be worth reading. I'll probably read a couple more chapters and then put up a "review". I'm highlighting as I read so I can find everything. So far, I've enjoyed reading it. | |
