Hello all! So glad I found this website - it's wonderful to see so many like-minded brothers and sisters. I'm primarily an artist / graphic designer, but in doing research for my artwork, [mainly afrocentric] I started picking up all kinds of info ... those bits and pieces kept percolating in the back of my mind and an idea for a story started coming together. So now, I'm putting it all together in a tale. The working title is The Reluctant Queen and it's a sword and soul /fantasy tale... hope to exchange ideas and encouragement with everyone here...

Hello, everyone! I just joined the website. I honestly had no idea there were this many black writers of spec fiction until today. I'm excited to be here and I can't wait to exchange ideas with all of you.

Will Glenn Comment by Will Glenn on October 7, 2008 at 2:43pm
Hello, my first book entitled The Green Lady "Philadelphia's Urban Legend" deals with a fictional spirit that is popular in and around the Philadelphia area. I decided to write a short story about her which turned into a book. Lamar Cobb is the lead character and he is investigating whether the myth is true or not. He finds out that he is somehow linked to this myth. I had fun creating the storyline and characters. My cousin told me that my aunt could not read it at night. She had to read it during the day. So I think I achieved my objective. It's a lot of fun writing horror and thrillers. I'm in the process of completing my second book entitled "A Leak in the Lake".

Hello everyone! I am new to the group and this network. I am one of the owners of Azizi Books in IL and BlackBooksDirect.com. Speculative fiction is by far my personal favorite genre. It's great to be in such good company.

Hi all, new to the site and ecstatic about meeting other speculative fiction lovers and authors of color. My debut fantasy series entitled "Taste" is due for release within the next month. Taste is a tale of subhuman characters of color (i.e. mermaids, shinx, etc.), forbidden love, an intrusive religion, and civil war. I will be sure to post some excerpts for feedback!

Hey Everyone,

FYI- Blood Colony by Tananarive Due is out now.

Has anybody read it? Any thoughts?
Carole McDonnell Comment by Carole McDonnell on June 23, 2008 at 7:17am
Hi all. Just joined. I'm an author and the writer of Wind Follower, a Christian fantasy. I also belong to http://www.blacksciencefictionsociety.com/ another good black spec-fic ning. I figured it's best to connect to all lovers of spec fic. -C
Darrell L Bruner Comment by Darrell L Bruner on May 10, 2008 at 9:06pm
My book The Chronicles of Sin (a spiritual thriller) would fit into this category because the sunglasses that God sent to humans to see why they sin can see supernatural phenomenons invisible to the naked eye. I can write more novels in this cat because of my vivid imagination. Just like all of you and I'm honored to be a part of this group.

Long ignored, but serious in their own right - comics and graphic novels are often relegated to the children's table. That's NOT where I would expect to see Sin City! It's time to support our Black Comics.
