A Sunday with 3 Amazing Authors! (and me!)- UPDATED with video link!

This Sunday, March 17th on Zoom, I’ll be moderating a panel of three amazing authors; Kelly Link, Beverly Jenkins, and Sandra Kitt. Inspired by the romance author character of Maryanne Gorch in Kelly’s new novel The Book of Love (which is not a romance, to be clear!), we’ll be talking about the journey of Black romance authors over more than a century, as well as some of the big anniversaries that Bev and Sandra will be celebrating this year.

UPDATE: You can now watch the video on the Bookstore Romance Day Youtube page! It’s two hours of amazing discussion, so find a comfy seat and have snacks ready.

I’m really excited to be hosting this event put together by Billie Bloebaum of Bookstore Romance Day , and I hope you can join us! It promises to be a hoot and a half. If you haven’t yet read Beverly’s latest, A Christmas to Remember, make sure to pick one up from Book Moon Books! You can also pre-order the third book in Sandra’s Millionaire Series, Finders Keepers!

I’m Steve.

For more than a century, romance fiction has served as a mirror for societal ideas of gender, class, and race. I explore the stories behind the books to shed light on how authors, publishers, and editors shaped the genre.
