Where Are The AUTHORS In This Group?

[Dahlia]

Hi, I'm an author and I wrote Kitty Wishes, my first published novella.Kitty Wishes.

It is an IR book and paranormal lite.

I will warn that the sex scenes are explicit. ;)

So, if you like, feel free to check it out. It's about a woman who's been cursed to be a cat shapeshifter. It's very light and fluffy. :)

[Roslyn]

I just joined the group. I didn't know about it until recentlly. I've written one paranormal, Gabriel's Redemption which is IR. With Lisa G. Riley I've written two paranormal historicals. Stolen, which is IR and Given, which is AA.

[Dennis]

My debut novel came out last summer and it's available in print, Kindle, Nook and at Parker-Publishing. It features an African-American teen as the main protagonist.

I'm currently working on a novella now.

Just got here. Wrote 'Rivers of London' (Midnight Riot), not sure if they fit this group. New to goodreads so still feeling my way.

My work is MR and BB.

Deva wrote: "Oh hey I've already bought Midnight Riot and plan on reading it this month."
I hope you like it.

I'm one of the lurkers that happen to be an author;) I write IR short stories and novellas that are paranormal, romantic comedies, and erotic. Not particularly in that order. My blog (http://www.janeteckford.blogspot.com/... the most update stuff about me and I have a Goodreads Author Page as well.

Ahh, thanks! If you ever read the sequels I'd be interested in what you think. I love getting feedback:)

I've heard from a couple of people they didn't know there was a sequel or they read the books out of order because they didn't know there was an order;) My publisher is looking into making sure they are more closely linked.

Hi there.

My urban fantasy novella Don't Call Me Angel will be published on June 15. It's about a fallen angel who recently escaped from Hell. The main character is Black. (I'm not calling her African-American because she's an angel--not really from Africa or America.) If you pick this up, please don't expect a paranormal romance. There may be (but maybe not!) some sex, but you're not gonna find a romance in this book.

My young adult, science fiction novel Echo will be published . . . probably early next year. Yes, I know Goodreads says August. But frankly, it's just not going to be ready. I'll change the date on Goodreads once I'm relatively sure about a new date. I'm thinking February. The main character in this one is mixed race, and her love interest is White-ish. (The "ish" is because they're not on this planet, so race can't really be defined by our standards.)

I hope you guys will consider reading one or both of these!

Each book has a different hero/heroine but there is the same story arch. I was interested in creating a world but having the reader see it from different peoples perspectives. I've started what I'm hoping will be another series but with a more sci-fi bent to it with a dystopic society that has a different hero/heroine for each book. The first book, Still Another Day, is already out. I just have to wrangle my muse into helping me with the next one;)

You've got my attention. Will definitely be checking it out.

[Alicia]

Yay! :)

And I'm going to be checking out the other books in this thread. Great thread, Deva!

[L'Poni]

I just saw this thread! I'm an author of the popular (must be optmistic) space dragon series called The Society On Da Run. Get ready for the strangest synopsis of a non-cliche magazine series:

The Draconizica empire has descendants on the planet Earth. These descendants formed a sector empire called Antonin. A lone dragon shifter bred with the wife of the Roman Emperor Augustus and the first dragon shifters were born. In the modern day, the TSODR series follows the descendants of these dragons and various members of the three central empires: Antonin (dragon shifters), Lucerano (alien bug shifters) and Tyto Alba (owl shifters). Each issue of the bookazine focuses on certain characters through poetry and short stories. The series is not bound by cliches, instead it reverses and twists them.


I hope it catches everyone's interest. The leading man is Italian dragon and the leading lady is an African American whom has a strong bond with Dragons. Since it's an expansive magazine series, I recommend anyone reads The Love of an Italian Dragon and The Androids and the Dragons and then read the first issue La Cicala di Italia. Here's the series page: http://www.goodreads.com/series/74542...

I hope everyone enjoys the books!

[Andrea]

Hi, I'm Andrea Jackson. I wrote Bodyguard, Hand in Glove, and Who's That Lady. All are AA.

[Brookita]

Hi, I am the author the upcoming book Maternal Secrets.

[Aleksandr]

Heya! I'm primarily an m/m/gay lit author and I've written Scorpion, which features a black protagonist who has a couple relationships. It's a fantasy world with its own racial dynamics. I'm hoping to write a sequel next year, after I've finished my historicals.

[T.P.]

Hi everyone. I'm T. P. Miller and I'm a new author and new member here. I'm a paranormal writer with AA characters. Out for Blood is the title and is available on kindle and nook. Thanks again and I hope to catch up with you all soon. :)

[Dennis]

Hi T.p. I'll be checking your work out as well. ;-)

[T.P.]

I added the cover art to the Goodreads entry. Yay, for Goodreads librarian status!

[T.P.]

Thank you, Alicia! I really appreciate it.

[Violetta]

Hi! I write mostly m/m romance, almost all of it IR/MC and paranormal/UF. Our most recent story, , isn't a romance, but the main character, who is Cuban-American, has some African ancestry that becomes very important thematically in his follow-up story, .

We have a non-paranormal MC free short story, . And finally, a Hawaiian-based paranormal coming out next month. .

Whew!

This looks like an awesome group and I'm excited to join. It's also a good reminder to finally buy Midnight Riot, which has been in my TBR for too long.

[L'Poni]

I was thinking of editing my original post, but I'd rather post my new introduction. I'm the author of The Society On Da Run, an expansive Subscription Book (a new genre I made up) that is currently at 200,000 words out of 500,000 written. Each month a few new chapters are placed in the book from it's original version and are made available for download on Kindle and Smashwords. It has many themes, including an interracial relationship between a space dragon god and a human lady. The book is mostly interlinked stories taking place in the same universe with different characters, most of the characters are re-occurring in most of the stories.

The Subscription Book genre is not a serial novel and it works best with short stories.

Mark it to-read!!

I decided to give up the magazine series, because the individual issues seem to get bad reviews whereas the Subscription Book gets better reviews. Maybe I wasn't handling the magazine correctly?

[Kelbian]

Hi! I'm new to the group and glad to find it on here. I found it after a google search for AA Paramormal. My book Elemental was just released last week for Kindle. I'm looking for honest reviews for Goodreads & Amazon. It's a YA urban fantasy which I guess I would describe as IR. The main character is biracial (AA and NA). For reviews I can provide an epub version to anyone interested. More info is available on my Author Page. I'm posting with my Android but I'll post the link later!

This is a great group. Can't wait to get connected. Would love to add more titles to my Listmania! list too (for AA paranormal/sci-fi/fantasy)

[Kelbian]

Back at my desktop so I thought I'd add this:



Also you can check out my trailer here!

Hello all,

I wrote one Paranormal story featuring a Black female/Native American male pairing.

This seems like a cool group. Glad I happened upon it!

[Liz]

Deva wrote:

Welcome to the group! Is your book erotic?

~Thanks, Deva! :) And yes, my book is erotic.~

[Ben]

I am an author - I was on here under a different name but that account apparently vanished - so I took the opportunity to sign in under my real name (much less confusing).

I write a paranormal police procedurals with a mixed race protagonist.

[Ben]

Deva wrote: "Thanks for the warning Liz. I don't like Erotics but their are several group members here who love them!

Ben, tell us about your book!"

I'm glad you asked me that question Deva... The Lindsey 500 Vegamatic chops and slices faster than any other food processor on the market but you won't find the Lindsey 500 Vegamatic in the shops...

Sorry, sorry, couldn't resist.

I am a writing a series based around the adventures of a London police officer called Peter Grant - the reason why I mention it on this list is because he's mixed race. The first book in the series is called in the US and in the UK. The second and third books are and respectively. I'm working on a fourth book now and I'm contracted to write two more after that. I intend to keep writing them until they stop selling, I run out of ideas or die - which ever comes first.

[LaVerne]

Hi- I just came across this group and was happy to find it. My name is LaVerne Thompson and I write contemporary fantasy and sci/fi romance with interracial characters. I have several IR books under the paranormal/fantasy genre. Take a look at my page here on goodreads for a look at some of those books LaVerne Thompson or check out my author page on Amazon or my website http://lavernethompson.com
But my latest is about a race of shape shifters. Dragon's Heart: Story of the Brethren

[LaVerne]

Sure Deva- For now my paranormal/fantasy/sci/fi they're all bw/wm.

[LaVerne]

hahahahahahhaa I hope you enjoy them. I have a lot of fun writing in this genre.

[R.]

Hi, everyone my name is R.Tezak and I have a book coming out on September 25, 2012 (yeah, 7 days!) It's called A Taste of Fire. It's a paranormal romance BW/WM, set in current Chicago, but has a historical aspect that dates all the way back to the Haitian revolution, the sex scenes sizzle but they are tastefully done, and if anyone loves vampires, like I do, then you will love this book. It will be available on Amazon on the 25th,but until then you can read the first chapter on my website: www.rtezak.com
Thanks :)

[R.]

I will definitely keep you posted, so glad you like the first chapter :)Deva wrote: "R. wrote: "Hi, everyone my name is R.Tezak and I have a book coming out on September 25, 2012 (yeah, 7 days!) It's called A Taste of Fire. It's a paranormal romance BW/WM, set in current Chicago, b..."

[LaVerne]

lol Deva not all of them are erotic. My work tends to be more sensual than erotic. Descriptive rather than graphic sex scenes.

But some have erotic elements, Day In The Sun my sci/fi about a female from an alien world running from an arranged marriage and her betrothed followed her across the universe is erotic. Living On The Edge about a female bounty hunter who's part lion shifter is also erotic as well as violent. But Tatianna a fantasy romance is vanilla sweet. My latest Dragon's Heart is sensual rather than erotic. But on a heat scale from 1-5 most of my paranormal/fantasy work is a 3. So you should be fine.

[R.]

Just in case: My book has sex scenes but the scenes are not graphic or gratuitous, and they are within a committed loving relationship. They may be slightly erotic but definitely not erotica :)

[R.]

So A Taste of Fire is available today on smashwords and it will be available on Kindle tomorrow. I hope you enjoy it, I am officially working on the second book!:)

Hi

I’m the author of Dark Genesis.
It's currently free to download from Amazon, Barnes and Noble. and Apple.

Synopsis
Life for a female slave is one of hardship and unspeakable sorrow, something Luna knows only too well. But not even she could have foreseen the terror that would befall her one sultry Mississippi evening in the summer of 1807. On her way back from a visit to see the African woman, a witch who has the herbs Luna needs to rid her of her abusive master’s child, she attracts the attention of a deadly being that lusts for blood. Forcibly removed from everything she knows by this tormented otherworldly creature, she is sure she will be dead by sunrise. Dark Genesis is a love story set against the savage world of slavery in which a young woman who has been dehumanised by its horrors finds the courage to love, and in doing so, reclaims her humanity.

[Nulli]

*waves* I'm an author, and I have a few paranormal/fantasy books out with two more set to release on May 27th and September 27th.

Here's the trailer for my May 27th release: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=...

All of my stories are multicultural, featuring love between various ethnicities and in some cases, beings.

I've posted my books in the group before, so I won't spam you here. :) Thanks for the opportunity to share!

[Tyhitia]

Hi everyone! :) My name is Guinevere Thomas, and I am publishing a YA Urban Fantasy book with my co-author Libertad Araceli. I see this post is rather dated, but hopefully a new post will bring it to life again.

It will be titled "The Mark of Noba." It is written with the intention on it becoming a series. It centers around a 17 year old teen named Sterling Wayfairer. Through a unique birthmark Sterling discovers he and an extraordinary classmate, Tetra, are spiritually linked and are from a foreign land called Noba where it's inhabitants are able to manipulate time and travel to other worlds. All worlds(including Earth) border each other, and with their abilities they are able to unlock doors to these places.

Im ashamed to admit, when it comes to race, my co-author and I always attempt to find a loophole around calling a character white or black. But Sterling is Type II in his world, but he's a white boy. Tetra in his world is Type V, which basically makes her a black female. It's a tiny bit Sci-fi, but it's more fantasy than science, so I prefer to consider it Urban Fantasy. So it is IR, and technically the leading lady is AA, but she's not from Earth.

Not Erotica :)

Hi Deva, thanks for this thread. I've been a member for a while now and have been turned onto some great writers through this group.

I wrote and , which are not IR. However, The Bad Death, my historic vampire slayer novel with a black heroine and an interracial romance subplot is slated for publication late summer. I'm looking for beta-readers to give feedback before it goes to the editor. I'm not sure where to post that in this group's threads, but I'll try to find an appropriate place or start a new thread.

Glad to hear it; thanks again :-)

I looked for your book on Amazon, it sounds interesting, but I couldn't find it. When does it come out?

[Billy]

Hi! I've been lurking for ages because I'm a wimp and I get easily distracted then people ask me why I haven't been writing.

But I have done a paranormal - at last. It's inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein called Shibah's Monster. It's interracial Black African Woman with a White Polish Male. It's loopy, it's a little bit sexy and I amused myself greatly writing it.
