I'm currently reading "The Other Lands" by David Anthony Durham. I enjoyed "Acacia" so I'm back for more. Just started so no reviews yet. Just completed Immortal II by Valjeane Jeffers. Great book! Shapeshifters like you've never seen them.
Putting the final touches on Changa's Safari - Volume I. Revising the manuscript and working with Winston Blakely on the map and cover art. I hope to have advance copies January 2010. I completed book two of the Sivad Chronicles; A Debt To Pay. I'...
Most recent purchase: The Other Lands by David Anthony Durham. I enjoyed Acacia so I got the sequel. Bought a few books by my fellow authors at BSFS as well. I keep a foot in the published and self published world.
I thought his cover for Dossouye was absolutely fantastic, but was less impressed by his painting for Imaro: The Trail of Bohu. That said, I eagerly await more artwork from this excellent artist.
Meji Book Two is finally available (www.mvmediaatl.com). Book Two brings to conclusion the story of Ndoro and Obaseki, twins born with special abilities for a special destiny.

I'm working on a fantasy/steampunk series based on an alternate reality America. I'm posting the story on my site then gathering the chapters to produce a paperback and ebook. There will be four books in the series; if sales go well I plan on a graphic novel/manga. Stop by, read… Continue
Hi Milton! You should work on getting Meji in an e-format! I'm highly interested in reading it, espcially since I desire to write fantasy as well! I already have a story planned out, but I'm working on brushing up on my skills- right now, my writing is too formal.xD
I know this may sound corny, but it really does feel good to have another Black fantasy writer out there. It really is a true inspiration.:) Do you do your own illustrations?
Thanks Milton! I haven't - to be honest I haven't really made that much effort to put myself "out there" as far as publishers/agents go. I'm not ready yet - getting there though. I'm currently working on something that I'm hoping to submit once it's complete.
It has been a while since I dropped you a line, and hope that interest in your fiction is gaining momentum. Your writing is superb and I hope that it gets the recognition that it rightly deserves.
As for me, well... let's just say that I am having trouble putting hand to keyboard. I don't know if my lack of enthusiasm is due to missing NaNoWriMo again, or other factors. Time to do some self-examination, I think.
Cheers for the kind words Miles - the book isn't published in the states, but it is available via Amazon.com. I hope you enjoy, keep me posted! I need to explore more of your work too, the artwork is superb.
