I am going to take myself on a little lunchie-play date today. But in the meantime here are some links:
  • I saw this tie and thought, *ouch* Just a friendly reminder to follow your dreams. (For sale at etsy)
  • First Black Romance Novelist, Elsie B. Washington, Dies at 66. Can you believe that her groundbreaking novel was published just in 1980.
  • The Okra Picks are a new way to market southern literature. Why do I have a feeling that novels by the urban southerners like me will not be well represented on this list?
  • I can't wait to read this new thriller by Attica Locke. I love myself a literary page-turner!
  • Alexander Chee responds to Marie Mockett.
  • British Author, Martina Cole is living her life AND chasing that paper. (If you like to live large, click the link!)
  • I know everybody is all excited about Disney's black princess, but I have to agree with Jezebel. Enough already. Princesses are retro and lame.
  • Has slam gone too mainstream?
  • ToMo Alert: The Great One speaks out against censorship.
  • Big job opportunity at Poets and Writers.
  • The Washington Post is crazy about Ron Carlson, as am I.

    Comment #1, by Doug Seibold [TypeKey Profile Page]

    When I was at Noble Press in the early nineties, I acquired and edited a nonfiction book by Elsie B. Washington called Uncivil War, about the perpetually fraught state of relations among black men and black women. She could not have been more gracious.
