When we read Children of Blood and Bone we were surprised (not really) by the fact that we’re exposed to so little African folklore in America, even though it’s our ancestry and culture. #blackbooksy #booksky nerdyromanticspodcast.com/children-of-...
SONG OF THE WEEK: Back stabbers by The O’Jays A lot of people felt that they’ve been stabbed in the back by whatever powers that be trying to silence opinions they don’t like, steal inventions they’ve made, & vilify them when they are the villains. This is the sentiment of a lot of folks right now.

SONG OF THE WEEK: SINNERS by Robert Wave. The lyrics to this one speak to current times even though this movie is set in the 1930s. I feel this one so much.
Spotted on vacation! This proves THE ACCIDENTAL PROPOSAL is a great vacation read. Get it from most major retailers or your public library. #blackbooksky #booksky
October 5-11, 2025 is banned books week! And as I think about the idiocy of banning books, I think about how many of those are by marginalized communities. Voices that are already in need of amplification continue to be silenced. Take action on Let Freedom Read Day Friday October 11. #BOOKSKY

SONG OF THE WEEK: For those of us who weren’t “Raptured up” on Tuesday, why not get caught up in the rapture of a legendary 80s R&B artist? Anita Baker sings Caught up in the Rapture for her album Rapture. Saying that word a lot. Oh well. #rapture
Romance Readers: What’s your favorite seasonal setting for a romance? Now that my favorite season autumn is here, I'm thinking about all the times of the year in which to set a romance. What seasonal romances do you gravitate towards? #booksky
This post is still relevant today, especially at a time where it seems many stupid people are running things they shouldn’t be. Authors: do you use the stupid character trope in your writing? Readers: what do you think when you see the stupid character pop up? #booksky

I'm in the middle of my first novel re-writes, I'm reading a novel series, and I've been watching a lot of TV--more than I care to admit. So, I've been doing a lot of thinking about story. While…
