Revolution Series Available at Excellent Online Indie Bookshops
I’m proud of the partnerships I’ve forged with online indie bookshops. These shops makes it easier for readers to find the stories and characters that will, for a time or forever, live in their minds and become part of their lives. The people running the shops have a passion for literature and introducing readers to new worlds. In that regard, 2020 has been a good year. Both Sistahscifi.com and Scarlet Ferret now offer the books in the Revolution world: R/evolution and Evolution — Sistahscifi has the paperbacks and Scarlett Ferret the ebooks. If you didn’t know, now you know.

Publishers Weekly Reviews Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism and Beyond
PW reviewed the Mothership anthology with a shout out to yours truly, which just about made my month. They had kind words for “The Taken” one of the stories in the mosaic novel, R/evolution. I’m proud to be part of this project and amongst so many fine writers. Beyond all that though I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the stories in this anthology: 40 multicultural tales of sci fi, horror, and fantasy compiled by editors Edward Austin Hall and Bill Campbell. I’m a big fan of spec fic tomes with something for everyone, and this particular one looks to be just that. It’s out now.

Am I excited? You could say that. Back in NYC to read with the great Jeffrey Ford and revisit my old stomping grounds and good friends. It’s the perfect antidote to the Floridian heat.

R/evolution Now Available
People are starving, biogenetic adaptations are prevalent amongst the privileged, and the poor are being ground to a sharp and dangerous point. This is the future US where in the struggle for survival citizens are pushed to the breaking point as relationships start to fracture along the lines of class and race. These are stories of the leaders and the followers, the victims, heroes, and the everyday people caught in history’s wake, chief among them Dr. Ezekiel Carter, a genius in his field who decides to offer genetic reparations to those being left behind. In this world, what will become of the people at the fringes and more than that of humanity itself?
