    The WSC Scifi Sampler

    Download December continues with a six chapter excerpt from QUEENSREALM, and a three chapter excerpt from ENDWORLD available tomorrow and Monday, Dec 15th-16th on Amazon.   Sorry, I have to change that to December 16th and 17th. Strike that. December 18th and 19th appear more realistic, because I want to do one more edit to double check for typos.

    I’m posting both the code and an example of the first GIF:

    It’s Download December, where readers can get early access to some of the new books coming out from wikkid.sexy.cool.com

    Starting this week, multiple chapter excerpts will be available to download on Amazon. The excerpts will be in a variety of genres, from scifi, military, suspense, new adult and commercial fiction (with a romance and diverse characters at the core of each story)

     

     

    A motorcycle gang protecting their territory

    Refugees attempting to revitalize a run-down area

    A deranged man determined to keep his loved ones imprisoned

    It all begins and ends in a RUSH

    Why Scifi?

    Why?

    Because there aren’t enough books with minority protagonists as leads or who are  integral to a story.

    Scifi novels that WCS will have on sale shortly:

     

    Miss Brighton’s School for Exceptional Young Ladies

    Two Queens and a Knight

     

     

    Finishing up more editing on Queensrealm and The Queen of Comedy.  It’s the battle of the sexes (Queensrealm) vs. A war of words between comedic relatives (TQOC). I’m debating whether to release OFFWORLD next, but first I have to get familiar with Amazon’s categories and key words for scifi, urban fantasy and scifi romance.

    The Queen of Comedy takes center stage

    For Love of the Game and the new TV season

    I have to share this poster from the new show Sleepy Hollow:

     

    Sleepy Hollow on FOX

     

    This new show, along with Ironside (starring Blair Underwood) Crisis (starring Lance Gross) Almost Human (starring Karl Urban and Michael Ealy) and the returning hit show Scandal (Kerry Washington, Columbus Short) will finally have more actors of color in leading or co-starring roles on television.

    I’m also looking forward to Jonathan Rhys Myers as Dracula.

    Working on: Tennis novella about doubles partners who fall in love

     

     

    Game. Set. Love. Doubles partners fall for each other

     

     

     

     Character backstories are very important to me, so both leads have experienced the ups and downs in their professions. I hope to have an excerpt up soon.

    The Stone Boy will be released this week.

    I Scifi. Do U?

     

    Gotta share this tumblr post by way of Racebending.com:

    Let me tell you a story about media representation and how it informs creativity

     

     

    I love science fiction. Octavia Butler and Ray Bradbury are a few of my early writing influences, and so we’ve got a couple of scifi offerings coming up this fall: QUEENSREALM and OFFWORLD

    How to categorize these ebooks on Amazon will be a challenge, so don’t be surprised to see them bouncing in several different categories once they’re released. For example, my daughter and I decided to put HEAVEN in both African American women’s fiction and also a sub category of teen fiction, because of the adult content. However, whenever Amazon changes its algorithms (like this week, when the site went down without explanation) after making a comeback up the charts, we’re now working hard to regain the traction we had before Amazon’s site snafu.

    More sneak peek offerings to come, which include a five chapter excerpt of  OFFWORLD:
