So, with all the AMERICAN DIRT controversy going on, I thought I’d post a little thread about how I was nearly THAT AUTHOR, and how I learned not to be. I’ll title it “I’M WHITING A BOOK!” or “TOSS A COIN TO YOUR SENSITIVITY READER”
Back in 2015, I was hard at work on my second novel, THE RIGHT HOOK OF DEVIN VELMA. It’s set in Los Angeles, and it’s about friendship and fame in the age of social media. My two protagonists were PoC.
Oh, and in case it’s not obvious from my profile picture, I’m Caucasian.
