Hello everyone! My name is Solange, I created this group a while back, and have been away for a while, had 2 kids in the meantime, and I missed this place sooo much! So I'm back, love what is being said here. I would also like to offer my own blog on global women at http://keurawa.com, if anyone would like to stop by and offer a soul bite...I can't wait to finish reading everyone in this group.

This is great.

I am half white and African Descent. I am proud of my culture and would love to hear stories about your perspectives on African genres and more to come,

Hi all: I haven't checked this site for quite a while, and it is good to see that it is still going. Belated Happy New Year as we move into spring and summer and I hope the writing is going well. Still struggling to get my firs novel published, which it will be this spring. Even though my maiden voyage with publishing has been long and drawn out, it hasn't stopped me from starting other projects. Writing can be a slow drag, ergo thrilling when you see progress. Take care, KS

A Book Review of Jacqueline Woodson's Beneath a Meth Moon   Stop by and read it.

When tragedy strikes, you feel like all of life’s anchors have unhitched and you are floating in limbo.  Reality disintegrates into white tufts of dandelions in mid-flight. Your feet are in motion on top of terra firma; to you, it feels like nothing is grounding you.  Read more about how Hurricane Katrina displaced more than bodies in this poignant young adult novel:  http://womanlution.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/when-pipe-dreams-hold-y...
