Just released!
I'm not sure if Dexter's book has POC characters, online drawings have shown Euro characters (maybe multi-cultural?), but the author is definitely a brother <3
The excerpt reads:
In a steampunky alternate reality, genius inventor Prospero Taligent promises the 100 kids he's invited to his daughter Miranda's birthday party that they will have their “heart's desires fulfilled.� When
young Harold Winslow says he wants to be a storyteller, he sets in
motion an astonishing plot that will eventually find him imprisoned
aboard a giant zeppelin, the Chrysalis, powered by Taligent's
greatest invention, a (probably faulty) perpetual motion machine. As
Harold tells his story from his airborne prison, a fantastic and
fantastical account unfolds: cities full of Taligent's mechanical men,
a virtual island where Harold and Miranda play as children, the
Kafkaesque goings-on in the boiler rooms and galleries of Taligent's
tower.

The reviewer who announced it, is reading it now. She didn't see any character descrptions in the first few pages but I'll be checking back with her to get a general feel, so I can report back *_^
Shine on
