I think Tomi Adeyemi's scenario with The Children of Blood and Bone film is interesting. She is a black writer, very successful financially. And film producers cause of the fiscal results of black panther, want black fantasy that can yield big dollars. Many black thespians in the story are making good money and it has the potential to be a series. But, Adeyemi has spoken for it and against it, variably. I don't think she comprehended that the film making business isn't like writing a book by yourself. The film making process is a collaborative art work project. And in that collaboration mamy things happen you don't like. You have to accept this truth. Adeyemi will not be the first or last writer not to, but I hope the film does well and she can take the lessons from here and have a better relationship to the film making business.

I wasn't aware of the film -- thanks

haha @Troy

my pleasure:) I noticed adeyemi's books are not in the aalbc directory also

Oh, on the contrary: Tomi Adeyemi is one of the top-selling authors on AALBC--indeed the nation.

Now this begs the question: Why did you think she was not on the website?

@Troy as always for some reason I don't write properly, i said adeyemi's books, not adeyemi. I figured she had a page. But I didn't search or look for her page. I tried to find the aalbc page for children of blood and bone, I typed it in the search and I couldn't find it so I figured her books weren't on here. but I realize where I went wrong. I search for specific books when it is smarter on this site to search for authors and then on their page see their books. I was going to share the children of blood and bone page elsewhere online, but since I couldn't find it, i didn't.

see the following

OR

https://aalbc.com/search/?q=children+of+blood+and+bone&type=books

Yeah the title is not in the index that was generated in fact Tomi herself in not in the index. That is a problem that I need to look into sooner than later.

Thanks for taking the time to point that out.

@Troy no problem, I use the website. when will you allow embedding in post? I notice it isn't available now. Maybe you can make an embedding box?

The indexing problem has been fixed.

Well there are other issues but the main ones have been addressed :-)

I don't know what you mean by an embedding box?
