![]() ![]() While a Science Fantasy, it is a novel that represents who I am on such a vulnerable level that I admit to experiencing a bit (okay, a large deal) of apprehension leading up to publication. That statement is uniquely true with The Blood Trials. It’s a conversation that I invite and hope readers will engage in with me however, it is chiefly a conversation that was a reckoning and a long-time necessity I was having with my childhood, teen, and early adult self.Įach protagonist I write reflects who I am in some form. When I wrote the novel, I sat down with the explicit intention of creating a world that perpetuated the worst aspects of Anti-Blackness, so that I could have a conversation on-page about the most pervasive and insidious bigotries that run deep in American society. ![]() Arguably, all science fiction/fantasy works serve as a mirror to reality in some fashion. ![]()
