Enter me please! Lots of goodies here I'd really like to read. :)

I can't say I really have a favorite black author. Maybe I don't pay enough attention, or maybe there just aren't very many black authors out there. I'm not sure, but I can't think of anyone at the moment.

Then again, for all I know, some of my favorite authors are black, I really don't pay much attention.

Maybe I'll discover some new favorites sometime after March 27th. =P

Anyway, my favorite African-American author is Reginald McKnight. Look him up; it's worth it.
