Kicking and Screaming: Introducing...Black Speculative Fiction Month!

October IS Black Speculative Fiction Month and I am so excited to introduce you to some truly talented voices in the world of sci-fi, paranormal, fantasy and horror literature.

The opportunity to bring these authors to you is something near and dear to my heart because, at some point during every convention where I have exhibited, someone walks up to my table in shock and innocently expresses their surprise that I am a black woman writing science fiction. Often, they tell me that they didn't know that there was anyone of color writing in the science fiction genre. Well, this month, I am so pleased to introduce you to a group of black writers, both men and women, who are putting out some amazing work that I think you will enjoy.

Throughout October, I will be posting my video reviews of some speculative fiction novels by indie authors of color that I think are just out of this world! I will post them here on my blog, as well as on Twitter and the Order of the Seers Facebook Page. All of these books are available in paperback and ebook format on Amazon, so when you find one that peaks your interest, give it a try!

In addition to the fine authors featured on my videos, you can find out more about other black speculative fiction authors by clicking on the featured links below and visiting www.blackspeculativefictionmonth.com. There are events happening all over the country, from Chicago to NY, DC to Atlanta (including a giveaway that I will be hosting with MV Media at New York Comic Con). If you're in the neighborhood, make sure to stop by and get to know a new and exciting author.

If you have read a speculative fiction novel by an author of color that you would like me to shout out, please respond below with a little information about the book and why you love it! Thanks Again and Happy Reading!
