Hello dear member of the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group! It's J., the admin., and I'm writing to inform you of the group's new look! (And it goes beyond the change in our group picture, though it is nice, don't you agree?) :) What we're discussing now: Patricia Hill Collins' Black Feminist Thought, Toni Morrison's Sula for our July read, our little BIG Read: 7 short stories in 7 days to begin later this month, the National Black Arts Festival where Alice Walker and Pearl Cleage are featured speakers, and more!We'll soon have a group blog up and running, will begin profiling the uberly dynamic authors within our own group, discussing women's/girls action coalitions in your city, reviving some of our good ol' threads, etc. I challenge everyone to invite at least one friend (already a member of shelfari or otherwise) to join the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group and to log in at least bi-weekly. (Though weekly would be wonderful!) And I pledge to do the same. And did you know that Toni Morrison's new novel, A Mercy, is due to be released in November? Ah, you would if you'd visited our group page! (No, actually, I haven't posted this information. lol) But do stop by and fall into the purple haze that is extraordinary literature by feminists of color!Love, Jaya

I am inviting you as a freind because of your love of the literary world. I am an author of love poetry and romantic/suspense novels. You can view my latest novel, Dangerous Love, 2010 A.D. on Amazon.com currently. the book is undergoing a correction on the title design and will be available in all major book strores and on-line around the world, very soon. Have a great life. Skip Stover
Hey V, how are you? Well let me start by saying that I can't wait to dig into your book. It will be among my next purchase. I didn't pre-judge the book. I want to read it first. I'm just delighted to see someone tackle that subject openly and honestly. Folks have flirted with the topic, but I think most people skate around it for fear of offending folks. I can't wait to hear things from a female's perspective on this issue. I'm so glad to hear that you don't beat up on the brothas either. I'm not overly sensitive, but that stuff just gets a little old. Sure there are some of us that need to get it together, but that's not all of us. I firmly believe, if you focus on the negative then that's exactly what you'll get. After reading what you wrote, I plan to purchase a copy for my 17 year old niece as well. Take care. Until the next time, Peace, Love & Hav Plenty.
