I’ve been quoted in my local paper!

No, the I am not the focus of the article (Latrivia S. Nelson, a local interracial romance writer, is). And yes, I am way more excited about being mentioned in the article than I should be 🙂

A few weeks ago, I spoke with a reporter regarding my thoughts on interracial and African American romance, which happens to be 2 of the subgenres I write.  We had a nice chat and hit on a few key issues. The reporter was very nice and seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say on the subject. But I know how writing goes, sometimes you have to leave out some of your planned angles and side stories.  So I didn’t know how much, if any, of what I said would make the final cut.

I was surprised when one of my CP’s called and told me I’d been quoted in the article.  Unfortunately, the story has not been placed online so I can’t link to it.  However, I can share the next best thing, a couple of grainy pics of the article 😀 My fellow RCRW member, and author/publisher extraordinaire Deb Dixon, is also quoted.
