CHILDREN OF OWL HAS A COVER!!!! With art by Abigail Rajunov, who also illustrated 25 pages of comics in the book. It was an honor to work with her; I couldn’t be happier!! πŸ₯ΉπŸ’•

I’m celebrating the Centennial year of BHM. I didn't learn about the book I’ll Make A World until February. There are at least two key lessons: the importance of memory and crafting your narrative. Here are some books that help us with those lessons. #Blackbooksky #Blacksky #Booksky

If you’re a new writer (I mean you can’t get any greener new), check out my Tips for Writers blog: theeditortnt.com/category/wri... It’s content for folks who want to write a book and folks who wrote a book and don’t know what to do next.

Just discovered this black owned brand that designs Lego sets. And they are the cutest sets I’ve ever seen and I’m going to be sick because most of the sets are sold out.

They had a mini Jimi Hendrix set, Bamboo earrings set, and a pressing comb and hot stove set(not sold out yet)

I voted today but it was the strangest experience… went to my normal place to vote and was told I now have to vote at another location. Cool. Went to that location and they β€œcouldn’t find me”. I pulled up my voter registration online and then they asked for my drivers license….then further proof

Finally starting 'Burn Down Master's House' by Clay Cane! #BlackBookSky
I didn't read much last month, mostly due to not feeling well. But I'm feeling back to it!
I'll have my website updated with reviews of what I did end up reading later this week. ☺️

Friendly reminder to pick upβ€”and commit to readingβ€”a book. Specifically a book by an author who not only understands, but is loud about injustice in the world. Because people’s politics show even in the most smuttiest or obscure or innocuous books.

This is the last post for BHM. In Gil Scott-Heron’s memoir The Last Holiday, he writes about Stevie Wonder, who invited Heron’s band to open for his Hotter Than July tour from 1980 to 1981. #Blackbooksky #Booksky #Blacksky
