“A Blade So Black by L.L. McKinney deserves all the love! McKinney is a pioneer in race-related pay transparency and cool, Black girls with superpowers.”

“Denene Millner's One Blood is a book that I haven't stopped thinking about since I read it last summer. This multigenerational saga is the absolute perfect book club pick and is based on Denene's own childhood and adoption story. One Blood follows the stories of three women who are tied together by blood, love, and family secrets spanning from the Great Migration to the civil unrest of the early 2000s. ”

Devil Is Fine
This program is read by award-winning narrator Dion Graham.
"Devil Is Fine is self-deprecatingly tender, often bracingly hilarious, and at its heart is a runaway train through the haunted house of us. And I loved it. Don't miss it." —Dion Graham
"Graham’s rich, inviting, sigh-inducing voice magically weaves another irresistible aural web...Graham is wondrous throughout, seamlessly assuming and discarding characterizations with accuracy and aplomb, from dubious allies to empathic strangers and pretentious experts. His impressive range effortlessly melds dark humor, chaotic surrealism, and historic horror into another rewardingly mesmerizing performance." —Booklist (Starred Review)
From acclaimed novelist John Vercher, a profoundly moving novel of what it means to be a father, a son, a writer, and a biracial American fighting to reconcile the past
