    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...

    Thank you for the info! I just read Trust Me by Jeff Abbott and it is really good. I give it four stars. i liked Collision better, but Trust Me is good too. I noticed that you have a lot of books based on TV series on your shelf such as Monk, Psych, The Unit, Ghost Whisperer, and the 4400. I love most of those TV shows. Are the books as good as the shows? Thanks,
