Don’t forget that 28 Days Later starts in February…author M. LaVora Perry will be featured on the 18th, and if you haven’t already checked out her books, stop by her blog. You can also meet her in person at the Books by the Bay 2010 Annual Multicultural Literary Conference. LaVora’s spreading the word about this important project:
Forest Hill Publishing is launching a book of stories from transplant survivors and donors of color. We are well aware that people of color represent a disproportionately high number of patients who need organ transplants—and die because they did not receive them—and a disproportionately low number of people who serve as organ and tissue donors. Our hope is that our book will inspire many more people of color to become donors and save lives.
Information about the project is on the following web page:
If you are an organ transplant recipient or donor, we invite you to participate in this important project. For more information, feel free to contact us at email @ foresthillpublishing.com
Sincerely,
The Forest Hill Publishing Editorial Team

thanks for posting this; my sister is a transplant survivor and i’ll ask her to pass this on as well.
Ms. Perry is an accomplished author I’ve never come across before!! I’m so glad she’s making her presence known, particularly since she’s address such a critical topic.
Zetta, thank you for featuring LaVora. I look forward to her book about transplant survivors and donors of color. Her novel, Taneesha Never Disparaging, is also an important story. Keep up the great work, Zetta and LaVora!
