Dear Anthea:
I read your interview with Judith on Jamaicans.com, which was quite interesting by the way, and I would like to get her contact information as I am interested in learning more about the VoYces Literary Fair to be held next year in Jamaica.
I am a Jamaican and have been residing in Maryland with my family for 26 years. I recently published my first non-fiction, Seven Letters to Heaven, which is featured on the Jamaicans.com website, hence my interest in the fair.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
