Who is Your favoite Novelist? - Page 4 - AfroChat - African American

Nobody giving love to the brother Steven Barnes? His book Lion's Blood is an exploration of what would have happened had North Africans colonized the Americas. For that, he's got mad props in my world. He has another great book called Firedance which i think is borderline literature. He and his wife Tannarive just came out with a book with Blair Underwood called Casanegra or something like that.

Other than that, i'm a big Octavia Butler fan. And Ayn Rand.

So far off the top of my head Christopher Pike, R.L. Stine, Tananarive Due, and this other author who for right now I can't think of. I'll pretty much purchase anything by these four but I have thousands of books.

Yukio Mishima of course!!

Eric Jerome Dickey, Kimberla Lawson Roby....I loved Tananarive Due's The Good House, very well written and Connie Briscoe....
