    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

    Hey My Shelfari Friend!

    Just wanted to give you the heads up on my novel “Lovely, I Die” Available now!
    A housewife turned serial killer. “FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO WANTED REVENGE BUT ONLY IMAGINE IT....VANESSA DOES IT FOR YOU!

    A secluded housewife with dissociative identity disorder conceals human body parts in her sculptures. That would be the headlines of the Houston newspaper if she’s ever caught.
    Vanessa Morrison never plans to see those headlines. She never planned to become a murderess either. She wanted excitement in her secluded world of clay sculpturing within an abusive marriage, but nothing like this.

    When she discovers her husband’s affair with her neighbor Angela Reynolds and the scheme with her psychologist to institutionalize her, she realizes everyone around her is strategically placed. Vanessa is not sure whom she can trust and spirals headfirst into her personality disorder. Killing her victims one by one concealing them inside her sculptures.

    To Order…Go to
    www.freewebs.com/novelistgal/ or

    “Don’t Forget! I’ll be on Shelfari’s group “ Flappers” “ Book Read for April” for my novel “Hypnotic” Hope you ordered your copy! Amazon.com, Barnes & Nobles, etc..
    I’ll see you there!

    Widow Traci Evans sits in on meetings with the lovely ladies of the Invincible Sisterhood because for a little while she can feel as if she belongs. The members are all sweet older women who have lost their husbands, but not their passion for life. However, unlike the other women in the Sisterhood, Traci's husband died while cheating on her.

    Traci has no intention of letting a man make a fool of her again. Not even if he begged. Even her newfound friend and neighbor, Maureen Gilmore, can't convince her to open her heart to love again. But when Maureen's gorgeous son Ryan admits he's attracted to Traci, she might have to rethink everything she knows about love. Maureen has some soul searching to do as well. She's interested in a sexy young policeman...and then the unthinkable happens, she starts having hot flashes

    Two women - two impossible situations.

    NOT EVEN IF YOU BEGGED new release date Jan 22.

    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.
