Shomari T. Black was born in California, but then he was moved to Texas. There, he attended Haude Elementary. Haude is pronounced "howdy".

[Pause for laughter]

In the First grade he was caught plagiarizing a creative writing assignment. After a stern talking to from his teacher, and a phone call to his parents, he decided it would be easier to just write original stories. Henceforth, he wrote stories to entertain himself.

Blah blah graduate of Columbia College Chicago blah blah degree in Fiction Writing blah blah Chicago resident.

ooh, here's something interesting

He started writing Sabien's Quest: The Light, when he was 16 but he'll say he's been brainstorming the story his entire life.

He'll read anything by Neil Gaiman or Peter David, but his ...more

Questors,

Guess what. Draft One of Sabien’s Quest: The Light, vol. 2 is complete! Isn’t that wonderful?

I want to finish Draft One of vol. 3 (the end) before I get too deep into editing, but we’ll see what happens.

Sincerely,

Shomari

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, I mean everybody — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds... Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.”

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones
