As you know, in December I take a vacation
from reading crime fiction so I can read some literary fiction or popular
fiction.
What I’m reading this December: An e-novel,
Dark Genesis by A. D. Koboah, which
I’m reading on my iPad Mini.
The other two are print books:
As you know, I’m a contributor to the
website SleuthSayers. Well, I’ll post my last contribution to the site this
month. Beginning January, I’ll devote my time exclusively to this blog because
I’ve discovered that, though Black writers are producing much crime fiction, no
website is devote to reviewing their books. I wish to change that. I don’t mean
to say their books aren’t reviewed. Some are reviewed in the mainstream publications.
Walter Mosley, for instance, is sure to be reviewed.
Anyway, please visit the SleuthSayers blog here and discover how writers of crime and mystery
fiction come up with ideas for stories, how they construct their stories, and
how they publish them. In addition, you’ll read about how real police work, how
real soldiers go about soldiering, and many other subjects not necessarily
about writing or books.
Have a Merry Christmas, and I’ll catch you
in the New Year.
