Lolita (nerdylola82) | 10 comments Hello,
My name is Lola. I don't think I introduced myself earlier. I have become an avid reader of interracial books in the past few years. My first experience with this genre was Sandra Kitt, but I didn't know that it was its own genre until at leat three years ago. I love reading romance and sci-fi/fantasy books as well. But I love fiction general.

I am more of a cat person in real life, but I love wolves in the books.


message 313: by M. (new)

M. Kei (kujakupoet) | 1 comments 1. I'm M. Kei, author of the Pirates of the Narrow Seas series. Lt. Peter Thorton of the 18th century British navy must struggle to come out gay while surviving storms at sea, ship to ship battles, duels, kidnapping, and more in his quest for true love and honor.

2. Although the books have been labeled M/M romance, they're an adventure series with a love story. Peter is a quarterblood Shawnah Indian, and in the first book, his love interest is a North African man.

3. I'm a tall ship sailor in real life. Photos of my current ship, including her cats, here: https://picasaweb.google.com/10849779...

4. I'm mixed blood of Scotch-Irish, Cherokee, and Yamacraw descent in real life, the offspring of generations of interracial romance.

5. I find novels that don't feature diverse characters to be dull. The world is full of interesting people; books should be too!

Miriam Kee | 2 comments Hi, I am Miriam. I have been reading interracial romance since Sandra Kitt was popular. I love to read them. I am a huge geek and proud of it. I work in the medical field and am a single mom. I am always looking for groups of like minds to find out new things, get some new perspectives, etc.

Jaime Reed (goodreadscomjaime_reed) | 2 comments Hey guys!

Living Violet (The Cambion Chronicles, #1) by Jaime Reed
If clean interracial romance (bw/wm) is what you’re looking for, check out Living Violet when it comes out in January. It’s a teen paranormal romance with a biracial protagonist. There are not many of those in the genre, I’m afraid.

M.J. Kane (mjkane) | 97 comments Hi! I'm M.J. Kane and am new to this thread. I was turned on to it by a fellow friend and author. I am currently working on a series of books based on IR characters and am looking to publish my first novel in January 2012. I am a strong believer that love comes in any form, no matter what color, size or shape. Personally, I've read numerous romance novels and have not come across a lot that deal with IR. In fact, finding a Nora Robert's book that had an IR couple seriously surprised me! My goal is to do my part in contributing to quality novels for this genre. I would love any feed back, likes or dislikes anyone has to share. I want to be sure that my stories are something that will appreciated by all. My first novel deals with a bw/wm relationship.

Thanks for accepting me into the group and I look forward to talking to you all!

Thanks Delany for the welcome! I will definitely check out the shelf. I have been an avid book reader for years. I read just as much as I right! I've got about 60 books on my shelf right now, have read most of them 2-3 times, but have 9 that's haven't been read at all....lol. Got a few IR's I found on sell at the library. They've been great research too!

Tara Neale (tara_neale) | 39 comments Hello all,

I am Tara Neale and I live in London.

1) I have six children, but only my youngest daughter (5) lives at home. She has epilepsy and I homeschool her, which meant that I had to cut back on work. But this gives me more time to pursue my true love...

2) I am a storyteller. I make this distinction because to me authors are about art and perfection of form. To me, a storyteller is about the characters and storyline and we bend/break a few rules that authors never would.

3) My family looks like the UN. My three oldest children are blonde haired and blue-eyed. My adopted son is dark skinned Mexican-American. My younger son is mixed race white/Mexican-American and my daughter is mixed race white/Black British. I will try and post the picture we took a couple of years ago.It is called the Brood because it is all of them together, which not easy to do once they become adults with lives of their own.

4) My travels have given me different views of race. I was born and raised in the deep South. I remember being six years old and getting a copy of Tiger Beat. The centerfold was double-sided; Donny Osmond and Michael Jackson. I knew which way I was supposed to put it up on the wall, but it did not stop me from sneaking peaks at Michael when no one was looking. I lived for several years in Los Angeles, a city I had always considered utopia and was shocked at how racist it remains. Living for the last five years in London, where on the surface racism is discounted and my mixed race child is actually in the majority, I have discovered the deeper issues of class and culture that underly racism to some degree.

And all of that comes together in my writing and reading.

Welcome Tara. I like you've said that you were a storyteller. I am too. And we do tend to break the writing rules. :)

Storytelling is fun.
