Monica’s on fire
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005
http://monicajackson.com/2005/ I love this author because she has a set of balls the size of grapefruits and I love her books too. It’s refreshing that there’s an author out there who tells it like it is. She underlines the plight of the black author and the way the books by AA writers are written. Something to think about, just because a romance is written by a black author should it automatically be shoved in the AA section in the book store even though technically AA is not a genre. Monica writes awesome paranormals, but its not classified as such. Is it misleading for publishers to do this. Maybe. I’m not a marketing person, but shouldn’t books be placed in the genres that they’re supposed to? I do understand the argument that some readers look specifically look for books with black characters, but does it in fact hurt the author?
