Dak Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Hi everyone, I was trying to find some info on African American book blogs (I am interested in science fiction mostly) and I found your site through https://blog.feedspot.com/african_american_book_blogs/ The reason I am looking for this kind of forums/information is that I would like to get recommendations and share experiences on that. I am mostly into scifi books , from best sellers like Cixin Liu's Three Body Problem trilogy and Children of Men to pulp fiction from BV Larson and Baxter's (I really enjoyed Moonseed some 15 years ago; I gave it another try recently and it has aged really well) ... and I was wondering if there are any African American authors out there that you would recommend Your input is much appreciated Dak

Dak Posted July 5, 2019 Author Report Posted July 5, 2019 I started reading some stuff from Nicole Givens. For now it seems ok. https://nicolegivenskurtz.com/ (Sorry Troy, if links are not allowed, please feel free to remove them, and big apologies from me). This weekend I will read All or Nothing, by Preston Allen (although it is not the kind of genre I am looking for, I will give it a try). I will (hopefully) post (my first) reviews...
