I need a place to add writers of color who write mysteries:

• Walter Mosley

• Chester Himes
• Barbara Neely
• Valerie Wilson

Now, whether these are the writers I’m looking for or not (I haven’t checked whether they’re to my taste or are CRAZY NUTS ADVENTURE! writers, which is what I’m really in the mood for, especially high fantasy), it’s a pretty good list and should keep me busy for a while. Please note that comments about a) how the poster is not white but some shade of pale, ha-ha, b) how the poster never notices anyone’s race when they’re picking out books anyway, and c) NOBODY NEEDS TO NOTICE “PEOPLE OF COLOR” THEY HAVE ALL THE ADVANTAGES!!! will be met with eyerolls, and, if I’m feeling energetic, sarcastic comments.  I am tired of making nice to people who have difficulty with the idea that I, a voracious reader, might be reading books that are not about various shades of pink people from North America and Europe, whether that means offended or just plain feeling awkward because they don’t have a similar reading list themselves.  Nobody pitched a fit or bothered to tell me that they don’t consider genre before picking stories when I started my ongoing horror reading project, which I guarantee you is far more offensive and of questionable taste. Me reading these books will not hurt you, and you not reading these books will not hurt me or make me shoot flames at you.  I promise. Everyone else – let me know if you know of more authors.  Anything published is good, indie or trad. I can’t guarantee I’ll read it, but I’ll check it out.  Thanks!
