I'd like to nominate J.J. Smith as my favorite black author atm. Her book, "Why I Love Men: The Joys of Dating," was so dang entertaining, and I got some really great dating tips from is as well.
The staff at techsupp0rt would like to nominate LiNCOLN PARK for your FICTION category. We have recently learned that she is African-American -- and she has written the absolute FUNNIEST genre fiction satire (office lit) we've seen in a long time; HANDLE TiME.
Please send your nominations to Yvette Hayward. yvette@literaryawardshow.com
