An African-American e-writer on ‘the queen of romance novelists’

0

By David Rothman

“When there’s a lull in my creativity, I honestly pick up who I think is the queen of romance novels—Jane Austen. I know that sounds strange coming from an African-American writer, but I was raised by the classics, and before I even read Richard Wright, my mother made us read Shakespeare and Tolkien. I’m inspired by everything, though.” – Sylvia Hubbard, whose Web sites you can find listed here. Story blog here. Info on Stone’s Revenge novel here.
