That being the case, what Black young adult authors/books do you recommend?

Good info. I know Alicia personally, so I'm familiar with her grind. Someone else recently told me about the advantages of developing a platform on Pinterest, and last year I heard some good things about it as well. I've had an account for years but didn't do much with it. That's changing.

Yes I would!

Ceres Wright is an exciting postapocalyptic SF military story from the point of view of two soldiers, one an African American man, the other an Ethiopian Israeli woman, each commanding their troops to search out and obtain a mysterious element promising to end the war —Protocol 45. In their quest, they must either fight, avoid, or negotiate with armies from Korea, China, and Russia, as well as local gang members, to obtain an elusive peace. But what will this peace cost? L.

Five Stars October 9, 2024 I never thought I would be reading a Hallmark special made novel in October. I’m not a pumpkin spice type of guy but I found that I really enjoyed it. It is a contemporary family story set around the sea islands during Christmas. I found the family dynamic real and the romance touching. The food descriptions were a bonus and for me(as a foodie) the MVP in the story. I’m ready for the sequel. - David Hankerson, Goodreads review Preorder A Palmetto Christmas today from MVmedia and anywhere books are sold. Release date: November 29, 2024. ISBN no.: 979-8990512009
