I suspect I’m one of a small handful of Black indie writers who write an African-American Historical Fiction series. I post daily on Instagram what I call this date in “white history.” It’s not Black history because to quote my favorite African Proverb: “Until the lion tells the story, the hunter will always be the hero.” Every day, I post an episode of white history describing murders of men, women, and children, court rulings declaring us less than human, and terrorism directed toward Black Americans somewhere in America. It’s called “this date in white history.” When you understand their history, you must write about it. We need to tell people about whi…

...Bookworm.com, a piece of Librarything, and God knows what else I guess when books are sold by only one big website people will finally wake up and do something. Of course Black folks will not start complaining until books with Black folks in them are completely invisible. Maybe Amazon can break off a few bucks and buy AALBC.com. Ah, nevermind they are in business to make money The WSJ reports Amazon recently paid ~$150MM for Goodreads. Amazon is really smart. I guess they will either buy or put Barnesandnoble.com out of their misery (business) pretty soon. And that is just the book world

Hello Troy, I know I'm a little behind on what has been happening here on AALBC.com, but I just want to let you know how good this site looks and flows. I just visited the homepage and it looks great. I also took time to read and print out a copy of the "Ten Steps to Promote Diversity in Children's Literature" by Wade Hudson. I definitely plan to share it. Even as an author who is out there pushing my own work, I still try my hardest to support other authors--especially us. It's a difficult road toward acceptance and recognition in the literary industry. If we don't support our own, who will? Just like the article says: "You can make a difference!" We, together must …

Established in 1990 by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English to make literacy by African American Authors/Writers a significant part of Black History Month. At its November 1989 meeting, the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English accepted the Issues Committee's recommendation that the Black Caucus sponsor a nationwide Read-In on the first Sunday of February. At the request of educators, Monday was designated for educational institutions. Dr. Jerrie Cobb Scott, an active member of NCTE and the Black Caucus, brought the idea to the Committee. It was envisioned that following a decade of rigorous campaigning for part…

White James Patterson is one of the world's best-selling authors, and as such has done what no black writer has been able to pull off with any degree of success. He launched a popular series about a black law enforcement character named Alex Cross and has enjoyed enormous success with this venture. Careful to avoid stereotypical charactors, Patterson has portrayed Alex Cross as a super negro, a brilliant, handsome forensic psycholgist who is indespensable to Washington DC‘s Metropolitan police department. Morgan Freeman played Alex in a couple of movies but he was too old to do so in the first place and has now been retired from the role. So who is our latest Alex …

I am part of a writing community outside AALBC but a recent challenge made me consider using it to push a story in AALBC. This is the antagonist ANTAGONIST The Untouchable World, the overwhelming majority of the world. It is sparsely speckled by Urban Commands. An expanse that has developed in unknown ways to the Urbaners and because of that has unknown dangers. An expanse that is the home to Untouchables, lineages of many species plant or animal or fungus mutated by the Tactile Virus; said Untouchables are now immune to the Tactile Virus through herd immunity and sometimes make up the landscape, sometimes live in it. The awareness or purpose of Untoucha…

I selling the book Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It by Charlamagne Tha God. I've priced the book less than Amazon--even with the shipping. Lets see how long it takes me to sell it. The book is a NY Times Bestseller. I can only afford to sell the book at this price because I have a promo copy from the publisher. I generally skew away from celebrity books, focusing on actual writers (keep in mind every book I add to the site is added manually), because writers will generally produce more than one book. Why waste resources building content around a guy who may never writer another book... At any rate, lets see how it go…

http://www.ifitsalrightwithyall.com Ever wonder why Blacks in America just can't get ahead? Always struggling and seem to never get respect in society? Well so do i and that's what this book is all about. I believe there is a Psychological problem that's not being adressed so i wrote about it hoping it may awaken my Black Community. This is a practical guide touching the conversation and telling it like it is. Hopefully, Blacks will open their eyes, and unclog their ears, and make the adjustments needed to change our current Paradigm.

Hi. I am kindly requesting a review of my just published novel, "A Darkness Unto the Dawn". My name is R.A. St. James and I am the author. In a nutshell, this book is the story of a group of ex-military vigilantes that have seen enough of innocent black people being murdered by racist/incompetent police officers and decide to do something about it.

Is the real problem with many fantasy worlds that no place represents the USA? I was thinking on another issue<linked below>, and in the post script a truth hit me. It isn't that fantasy is limited. Anansi/Grimms/Monkey King/Quetzecoatl all show, all races of people have tons of fantasy worlds or characters made totally in their own light. But, it occurred to me, the USA doesn't have a fantasy representation. The USA has science fiction, but not fantasy. Science fiction looks to the future by default. Now you can argue, Star Wars proves me wrong as it is technically an ancient fable. But, star wars isn't fantasy. I use what is going on with the video depic…

February 25th Loneliness is love with its hat on backwards -ali- Think about this. Even though love is a form of self-defense against loneliness, you can never ultimately conclude that there is either a social or historical reason to believe that loneliness will not sometimes win through. The most troubling thing about loneliness is that it is so patient, so controlled. It rarely ever escalates into an open foe on its own, and hardly will it ever knowingly engage in overt activities to justify its presence. All it does is wait. You never have to search for loneliness, but you are burdened with the task of keeping it away. No matter who you are…
