I LOVE to read. I am married and the mother of 3. I write and my dual dream is to own a book store and be a published author.

    In a moment of pique and frustration Virginia wrote an open letter to Oprah, and shared it with a few writer friends who are going through the same thing we are. Now the letter has started to go viral--getting a lot of repostings and inclusions in blogs, newsletters and on Facebook, so in case you hadn't seen it, we wanted to share our plight, the plight of many black authors with you, readers who have supported us all these years. http://twomindsfull.blogspot.com.

    In reality Oprah is just a metaphor--a name that might get this subject the attention it deserves. Because when you have a publication like Library Journal listing their 31 Best Books of 2009 http://ow.ly/HDU7 and the "genre" fiction list includes Street Lit --8 books but no category for contemporary African American writers, we are really in trouble.

    We are trying to encourage diversity in reading--we believe books should be windows, not just mirrors...

    Hi Lashonda,

    This is Sarah from Triple Crown. I noticed all of the TCP titles you have on your shelf, and how much of avid reader you seem to be. We're currently looking for readers to help us select the next Triple Crown bestseller. Would you be interested in becoming one of our highly valued readers?

    Please email me at submissions@triplecrownpublications.com and I'll give you all the details. It just takes a huge TCP fan with a critical eye to become a priceless TCP reader!

    Thanks for staying down for your crown!
    ~Sarah
