What function if any at all will DSNP have with EPUB? I comprehend that DSNP is a protocol, a rule set , and epub is a file format, a structure for data, a duplicatable structure for data. so Epub is a an object above the application layer while DSNP is designed to be a replacement for at least the application layer protocols and , I guess, at most the internet layer of protocols. But I ponder can dsnp be accessed in an epub. I know an epub can utilize application layer protocols to connect to the larger internet and utilize data. Is it possible for DSNP to be utilized through an epub, conceptually at least? I admit in my mind I figure DSNP with its individual marke…

If you are ready this and are not subscribed to the AALBC.com YouTube channel you have may make up for it by subscribing now. YouTube, for now anyway, is one of the remaining (perhaps the only) major social networking platforms that still gives you a financial reward in return for the content your contribute to their platform and they provide a service to you without trying to completely cannibalize your website's traffic.

One of the biggest problems we face culturally is that we have essentially lost our ability to critically critique ourselves. One of the things I hear over and over again from books reviewers is that, "If I'm too harsh on an author, they'll get mad and I'll lose access." or, "If I can't write a favorable review I won't bother writing one at all?" Far worse is the reviewer who writes favorable reviews simply to get on an author's good side or who write a positive review to as a way to promote the book--all unbeknownst to readers. It is very difficult for a reviewer to write a review, of book written by a Black writer, and be paid for their effort. As a resu…

The following was shared by @Wendy Jones on the the page where I posted the results of the survey of the question; would you stop buying book from Amazon's bookstore to save the book industry? Where to begin. Well, first I'll answer the question Troy posed to me then I will attempt to answer some of the points made by the people who don't think it's a good idea to boycott Amazon. How did I decide to write a letter to the CEO resigning from being an Amazon purchaser? Here is one of the articles I read.

When I first found out about Libro.fm I subscribed right away. Then I found out about AuthorsRepublic and I used the to distribute my audiobook along with Akoobooks. I believe both of these platforms deserve special attention from our community. The first one because it helps this site grow. The second is because it strengthens the bonds between those in the Diaspora and the Motherland. I would love to see which Audiobook you have on either platform. And do give mine a whirl.

I am a new author and have just released the first chapter of a novel on kobo.com called the ship that returned, please check it as it talks about some repats returning home to the motherland thanks.

The doctor told Detective Epps to sit down, and he wouldn’t leave the hospital room until he was sure his patient was as comfortable as possible. Once satisfied, Dr. Melton stormed off. “Don’t be long,” he said. “The patient needs-----.” “Now if you will excuse us, Doc.” Epps stared coldly at the broad-shouldered man. “This shouldn’t take long.” “Make sure that it doesn’t.” This was Epps’ second trip to this room and he couldn’t avoid marveling at the man, who, by all accounts, should have been dead. Talk about a miracle. The man smiled weakly. Epps took it upon himself to fling open the blinds on the w…

Voices Beyond Bondage: An Anthology of Verse by African Americans of the 19th Century by Erika DeSimone (Author, Editor), Fidel Louis (Author, Editor) Hardcover: 352 pages Publisher: NewSouth Books (October 1, 2013) Slaves in chains, toiling on master's plantation. Beatings, bloodied whips. This is what many of us envision when we think of 19th century African Americans; source materials penned by those who suffered in bondage validate this picture. Yet slavery was not the only identity of 19th century African Americans. Whether they were freeborn, self-liberated, or born in the years after the Emancipation, African Americans had a rich cultural heritage al…

When the lockdown haulted my region to a grind, I was consumed with news reports and deciphering propaganga from reality. The sureal nature of our existence prompted me to do the only thing that elicited a sense of calm admist the chaos. Write. Each day, I wrote about our evolution as a species from a socioeconomical perspective to the emergence of distance learning within the public school system. I searched databases at nauseam for photos and videos with people who looked like me, to share a tale of our new reality. You guys know my motis operandi by now, it's audio, video and everything in between. Regardless, the final chapter of the interactive novel come…

A recent post about a book on Black Unity prompted this question. Here is the setup for the question: One of the most significant changes I've made to AALBC.com is that I've designed the site so that I can send readers to any site to purchase a book. Right now, by default, I send readers to Abe Books, Amazon, Books-A-Million, BarensandNoble.com, and Indiebound (a consortium of independent booksellers). I even provide a link to one's local library. I also direct readers other Black owned booksellers; right now, for example, MahoganyBooks is running a sale on Kimberla Lawson Roby's new book, Sin of a Woman. For some publishers, I sen…

Dear AALBC Members, I would like to have Diondray's Discovery, the first book in the United Kammbia fantasy series, reviewed. Here's a brief description: A hero’s journey starts with a single step. For some, that step starts on a broken foundation. So it was with Diondray Azur. His adventure began when he learned that all he had known about his family—all he had known about his world—wasn’t true at all. He swore to himself to find the truth. As he set out upon his quest, he discovered an old book. What was this dusty old tome? His discovery turned out to be the Book of Kammbi, a book handed down by the …

I thought of a simple premise. Keith David James Earl Jones Morgan Freeman are three kings in a fantasy world, having a meeting they all agree to on equal terms, no tricks involved or surprise attacks. Each has a great deep voice. In one word, name how you want each king to talk. The reason for the meeting is not divulged. So for example: Keith David- vicious ; James Earl Jones- bemused ; Morgan Freeman - proselytic GO ! lets have fun RMAFliterature

Over the years there have been many conversations on this forum about how Black people should pool our resources, support our businesses, and control our destiny. In the past, civil right organizations lead the charge in organizing successful boycotts and getting important legislation passed. Today these organizations are a shell of what they once were -- toothless. Social media is seen by many as the modern way to mobilize Black people. I've always lamented the fact that we hitch our wagons to platforms we do not own or control and claim it as a tool to support Black people. This was always a flawed strategy. "Black Twitter" was a recent exa…
