2nd Annual Diversity Month Day 7-Author Q&A with Brit Brinson! +Kindle Fire 6" and Book Giveaway!
So Im especially delighted to introduce our next guest. Twinja Book Reviews is the last stop on her tour, brought to you by Diverse Book Tours. Brit Brinson is a young author, who also has her very own press @ Big Moon Press! I recently read her book and loved it! So I had to have her on for our Diversity Month event.
I especially love to support my indies, especially when they edit their work so well, you can't tell it from a "Big Six" book. I honestly think, if the lack of diversity is what keeps you from reading zombie books, Brit Brinson has solved that problem for you!
Without further adieu....

The Invisible Latino: Twinja Book Review's Top Ten List of Afro-Latin@s/Latinos in Speculative Fiction #BSFM
We @ Twinja Book Reviews' want to honor the diversity the Black community within Speculative Fiction. We just couldn't wait to reveal this once it was complete, so here goes!
This was by far the most difficult list to create. We went from wanting a list of three, because we assumed we wouldn't find any, to a list of definite five, that we had to dig deep to find. Paying close attention to our friends on Goodreads book labels took out the guess work for one or two, but we were actually able to find 10 books that featured Afro Latinos in Speculative Fiction.

Part I of our Double Feather: Author Alexandria Infante
We highlighted Kelly Parra yesterday for being Latina, but what's even rarer for us to find in the publishing industry, are Afro-Latinas penning paranormal/SFF books. So we'd love to introduce one to everyone!
1. Why don't you tell us more about yourself as a person, as well as an author?
I’m from California born and raised; however I have traveled a bit in my life. I started out as a chef, and held onto that career for 15-years, but I knew it was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Not to mention I developed bursitis in my right shoulder. I have a master’s in English Literature/Art History; with a Minor in Mythology and History. I do in home teaching as well as being a tutor. I have taught every subject in between, except math lol.
I has five amazing children; Matthew 26, Blazhia 24, Soleil 21, Micah 17 and Sora 11. Matthew, Blazhia and Soleil are in college; so I spend most of my time with Micah and Sora when I’m not writing. I’ve always loved vampires, werewolves, witches, and the things that go bump in the night; and it just rocks my boat to be able to write about them. I remember I was obsessed with Laurell K way back when, and read everything she wrote; until one day I was like, “I can so do this,” lol, and the rest is history as they say 22 books later.
