Ms. Bolling, I just want to say keep doing what you are doing… I am about to start book three of the Heart Series… Just when you say that book was– the next one is even better… I learned about your books on the Building Books Around Relationships on Facebook… I am looking forward to our chat this month…. Thanks your sharing your talent with us.

I agree we should all support AA authors. Fortunately for me I am a “book snob” meaning 99% of my book collection is AA and 99.5% of my collection is romance. I do however stray because I am a fan of paranormal romances also but not too many are written by AA authors, and the ones that are out there I do purchase. And as the v.p. of my bookclub we try to support our local AA authors too. I have personally turned some of my friends on to AA outhors, because for some reason people think that the only AA author out there is Zane (LOL)

How many times have I heard that? When we have authors writing in every genre that they are purchasing.

Hello Lareeta; Thanks for stopping by. I hope they are at least reconized for their roles. As for supporting African-American Authors, I would like to see us honor our AA Authors by using our $ power in the stores and on line. Nothing bothers me more then one of us saying “Oh I don’t read books by AA authors.” Then you ask if they ever tried one and they say no. And when you ask why, they can’t give you an answere other then, “I just don’t.” We are harder on our authors than we are on others. I just don’t understand why.

Hello Mrs. Bev; Thank you for stopping by. I spread the word on your novels and a few other authors to every person I know that enjoy a good book.

Hello Sharon; I hope people support the movie, if for no other reason than to give the African-American actress their due. The movie, good or bad, put some of us to work. That’s a good thing! Let’s rejoice in that.

Very well said, Iris. If we spent the time praising AA books as we we do the others, then AA authors would get noticed. When we give a list of books we are reading and never mention an AA book that we’re reading, that’s what gets noticed. We should be pumping them up.

Saw the movie and hope Viola and Octavia are nominated for awards (but I doubt it) because you know we’ll be upset if they don’t.

I couldn’t have said it better myself.
