The Kingman family did not die with whimpers. History was shaped by our births and deaths, and whether I liked it or not, I would be no exception.

The story opens with a prologue, in which Michael Kingman is on trial for killing the king—ten years after his father was executed for killing the crown prince, Davey Hollow. Michael tells himself, and thus the reader, that he only ever did what he believed was necessary, and he holds his ... Read More about The Kingdom of Liars: Murder Mystery Set in a Fantasy World

After all this time—the stories they shared, as countless as raindrops, the caresses as soft and gentle as snowflakes, and the beautiful daughter who took after them both—his wife of three years, whom he married after two years of passionate romance, felt like someone else. A thirty-something-year-old "millennial everywoman," Kim Jiyoung has recently left her white-color desk job in order to care for her newborn daughter. It seems like ...

As I mentioned in "12 Fantasy Books by Black Authors," I don’t think reading books by black authors, or any POC authors, should be a trend. Being a POC isn’t a genre, and I believe in promoting diverse books year round. But I realize that some of us may not know where to start looking for books to read. As a bookish community, we can support black authors by buying, reading, and sharing about their works. We can also post reviews on our social media platforms, Goodreads, and retail sites. ...

(It took hours of research for me to compile a list of science fiction and fantasy books by black authors. In the process, I learned about many books that I never knew existed.) As a ...
