Just yesterday I talked to a lady who told me, "Talk about what you know." So that's what I'll do here today. I'll talk about what I know.
When I'm not doing graphic design work for the nonprofit that work for part time, I write and draw. At the moment I am finishing up two book projects, an adventure story about a honeybee, which is my favorite insect, and a fantasy novella that I will dedicate to my favorite musical artist. I have been making art ever since I could hold a crayon, which is still one of my favorite drawing tools. You'd be amazed what you can do with a box of crayons. I am just about finished with my website and can't wait to share it with you.
It's been tough juggling art and writing with getting a new job, networking, and learning everything I can about self-publishing, conferences, and what-not. That's why I joined The Black Science Fiction Society. I just knew there had to be a place where people like me congregate. I just knew there had to be more black authors out there writing sci-fi and fantasy besides The Grande Dame, Octavia E. Butler. So here I am, in hopes that I've found a place to spread my wings and share my skills.
I know I've given a very small tidbit about myself, but as I get comfy cozy here within the society and get to know more people, I'll share more details.
