This is my first book and it's only a novelette, but I really enjoyed putting it together. The paperback proofs are in and kicked off Black History Month for me! ✊🏾
Please check it out! A repost is just as good as a purchase in my book!
Lastly, if you know any one that likes to review books, send them my way!

A list of books by Black authors published in 2023. Very interested in the Michael Harriot (who should be in the Fediverse), and have been meaning to read the interview with bell hooks for a bit.
Guess the Name of the Novel:
"Well, to start, I was raised in Toledo, Ohio and grew up singing in a Baptist Church."
"Any solos?"
"At least one Sunday a month."
Reginald was nodding his head.
"I guess I've been singing since I was about 10 or 11. One day I'd like to sing professionally. I'm partial to rhythm and blues but I also like to sing my own version of jazz and folk. That's one reason why I'm here, to figure out if I can fuse them all together..." #Blackauthors#Blackbooks#Blackmastodon
In 2007, with no experience in digital marketing, Derrick and Ramunda Young turned their commitment to Black culture and love of reading into Mahogany Books, an online destination for Black literature. Fourteen years later, their business now includes a thriving online store, a retail shop located in the Anacostia Arts Center in Washington D.C. and a new store located in National Harbor in Maryland.
between May and October of last year, we sold 100,000 books online. Going into the holidays, it increased, giving Mahogany Books multi-million dollar revenue status.
