The main character and supporting characters in my series
are diverse. Chausiku is an African
American teenage girl living in Chicago.
She has supernatural powers, is being chased by a crazed killer and has
a streak for torture (read the books to find out why!) but otherwise she’s just
like many other African American girls living in Chicago.
She is motherless but not abused and beaten by her father, a teen
prostitute, a drug addict, a sex addict, or abused and beaten by a
boyfriend. She doesn’t live in poverty, isn’t
struggling to overcome_____ (pick a serious issue here) or struggling with
racial identity.
The same is true for my Chinese and Latino teen characters
and their respective cultures.
So if you are looking for a book taking a serious look at
the issues facing minority teens today I can recommend many excellent books
that you should read.
My books are for those that like the supernatural…science
fiction…and books that are just for fun!
