Barely One week after publication, E. Lynn Harris' latest novel about love and friendship (featuring steamy sex scenes galore) hit the top of the fiction list. Not a Day Goes By (212,000 copies in print after four pressruns) is Harris' sixth novel, and baby, has he come a long way. Originally a self-published author, Harris once peddled his books at black beauty salons or sold them directly out of the trunk of his car. Today, for the first time in his prolific nine-year career, his book sits pretty at No. 1.
