Author Vows to Raise Organ Donor Awareness Through the Sales of Her Book
“Each day about 63 people receive an organ transplant, but another 16 people on the waiting list die because not enough organs are available,” reports the US Department of Health and Human Services. While most organ donors make the choice to give life to another, Margaret Williams’ novel, A Conspiracy to Ponder, explores the dark world of black market organ harvesting and trafficking, where the donors are victims of greed and deception. In order to raise awareness of the imperative need for legitimate organ donors, the author donates a portion of her royalties to The National Kidney Foundation of Illinois and other charities.

“Each day about 63 people receive an organ transplant, but another 16 people on the waiting list die because not enough organs are available,” reports the US Department of Health and Human Services. While most organ donors make the choice to give life to another, Margaret Williams’ novel, A Conspiracy to Ponder, explores the dark world of black market organ harvesting and trafficking, where the donors are victims of greed and deception. In order to raise awareness of the imperative need for legitimate organ donors, the author donates $3.00 per book from books sold at most signings to The National Kidney Foundation of Illinois. On occasion, she also donates $2.00 per book to churches and to or other causes.
Combining remarkable pulse-pounding excitement with a warning of the potential ramifications of the donor shortage, A Conspiracy to Ponder tells an incredible story. Complex, compelling, and hauntingly real, protagonists Joe Clark and Wu Chong deserve a place of honor in the house of fictional heroes.
Book reviewer Dorothy L. Ferebee praises the novel, "Williams tells a great story in easy-to-read prose without losing the important elements of mystery and suspense. A real page-turner! I read it in two sittings! I look forward to another Wu Chong and Joe Clark mystery."
“Margaret I. Williams has written a magnificent debut novel…If you are looking to read a suspenseful, action-packed novel that has a very unique, unconventional plot, and will leave you with much to ponder, this is definitely a novel for you. I cannot wait to read more from this author,”
States Latoya Carter-Qawiyy of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers.
"A Conspiracy to Ponder is a captivating novel of suspense and murder by Margaret I. Williams.

Joe must uncover the vile secret behind the disappearances of thirteen women and take a hazardous stand against a cruel and shadowy figure who uses his wealth and power as a shield against the law. A Conspiracy to Ponder is recommended as a superbly crafted, thoroughly exciting, page-turner of a mystery," writes James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, Midwest Book Review.
