Thanks to everyone surfacing this in my skyline I went in and looked for the setting, couldn't find it, reloaded Libby and there it was! Glad to be able to turn this off, even if publishers and authors are maybe being dishonest little shits about it. It's better than nothing.

Infusing African philosophies into the soul of a First Contact narrative for my new novel THE FIST OF MEMORY got me thinking about the history and present of First Contact in general and in African SF more specifically and so naturally, I wrote an article about it.

"But while First Contact stories are ostensibly about humans meeting aliens, they aren’t really about that. Not really. They’re about us." Author @wtalabi.com recommends five African First Contact stories:

Y‘all know that book banning negatively impacts sales, right? Especially when the authors are mid-list and marginalized. As a Lipan Apache, I’m familiar with erasure, and this is erasure. What’s more, readers who need our stories can’t access them.

THE CREEPENING OF DOGWOOD HOUSE is just right for your and your kids' Halloween reading lists. In addition to hoodoo, there is discussion of grief, starting over, and finding new family. Not to mention things to learn about art, architecture, and DIY. #booksky

Cover of The Creepening - A Black boy wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers stands on the porch of a haunted house. He is looking back over his shoulder at the viewer and doesn't see the tendrils of hair emerging from the open door of the house, reaching for him. A silver Walter Award seal and a red Bram Stoker Award seal are in the bottom right of the cover.The epigraph page for The Creepening. Quotes: "The place in which I'll fit will not exist until I make it." James Baldwin "Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things, he's got it all." James BrownStarred Kirkus review of The Creepening. “Royce’s latest offers readers a strong, character-centered, hoodoo-infused narrative that’s a tribute to the beauty of Black hair. A thrilling, hair-raising story with strong cultural roots and a well-developed sense of place. Themes of family, heritage, and grief provide anchors for the creepy mystery.”
