The New Terrorism
Dictionary.com defines Terrorism as "the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization."
Many Americans, especially the middle class, are undergoing economic terrorism right now and they have no option but to submit.
Many are in a state of fear. It's a very frightening thing not to know whether you can pay the mortgage, or rent, or if your car will be repossessed in the dark of night, or if you must choose between a meal and your medicine.

About
SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!
Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.

Writer's Voice! This is a Chicago based writers meetup geared towards creating a positive environment where black writer's, aspiring or published, can unite, encourage and network. This is a place to receive live feedback as well as anonymous feedback on that book you've been working on. Our first meeting will be held on Friday, August 1st. For more information go to
http://writers.meetup.com/1004/ Hope to hear from you and Happy Writing! Claudia
Books Ink is owned and operated by Constance Shabazz. Her bookstore and art gallery is located near Morgan Park. She is currently taking her business on line. She is definitely a person you should get to know in the Chicago area. She also co-host the annual Gwendolyn Brooks Writers Conference at Chicago State (in which I participated last year as a vendor). She has numerous events scheduled throughout the year. The launch party on Friday should provide as excellent networking opportunity. Since becoming affiliated with her last year, it has taken my ministry to greater heights, and she never fails to include me in all her events as a panelist whenever possible. She also provides book purchases for many of the local books clubs in the area. (This is how I gain my introduction into her circle when I hosted one of her book clubs). Her official website is booksinkonline.com.
You may wish to contact her directly for networking opportunities beyond this general introduction.
Again, all events are free this weekend, and if time permits, it could prove to be very beneficial to your ministry. Hope to see you there.
Happy Reading!

In addition, Books Ink will be hosting "An Evening of Romance" launch party to celebrate Books Ink On-line.
