COLORLESS SOUL by author Mary Wilson has been selected as the first
African American eBook of the Month.
(http://www.gayletiller.com/ebookofthemonth.htm)

COLORLESS SOUL examines the complex issue of race relations in
the North by tracing the author Mary Wilson's family history after
the Civil Rights War to the 1980s. The author examines a number of
issues which include: 1) What is White? 2) Passing for White, and 3)
Denial of the fathering of African American.

Each month, a new African American eBook will be selected by African
American eBook author Gayle Tiller.

The African American online presence is growing. For African
Americans who are interested in African American literature, there
are variety of channels. These include online book stores, online
book clubs, and authors web sites.

However, for African Americans who are interested in eBooks that
have a main African American character, eBooks that are authored by
an African American author, or the subject matter portrays an aspect
of African American life, there is no centralized online resource
that provides information exclusively about African American eBooks.

In February 2002, Author Gayle Tiller launched an African American
eBooks links page on her web site in order to serve as a resource to
the community. (http://www.gayletiller.com/africanamericanebooks.htm)
