I started reading romance way back when. I was reading Harlequin and Silhouette, then I ventured over to Catherine Coulter, Danielle Steel, Jude Deverauex, and until recently I had no clue AA authors wrote romance. Recently is a few years ago, not last month or last week.

I’ve read Niambi Brown Davis, Maryam Diaab, and now LaConnie Taylor-Jones. I hope to add others soon.

Time and Time again it appears that we must actual KNOW our industry versus go by what it appears to be. I have been shouting but not at the top of my lungs next month in a special blog i will lay out stats that show African Americans by the whole are NOT reading Street Lit.

It just appears that is what the sellers believe sells and so the sellers are only pushing it out front but the sales stats that are available and surveys done show the total not a segment of the reading population are reading NON FICTION and GENERAL FICTION. Thanks to Yas to once yet again being on it!
