Black Speculative Fiction Month , Day 11: Rae Lori and A Kiss of Ashen Twinja ;p #BSFM

We're currently at KidLitCon, and having so much fun. There are so many people to gain connections with here, but we haven't forgotten it Black Speculative Fiction Month!

We're actually most associated with the next author through social networks! Rae Lori is a Black Speculative Fiction author, that we're surprised we haven't had on our blog before =)

Every author we've encountered have their own takes on Black Speculative Fiction Month, so it's amazing to see all the diverse experiences and take backs from this awesome event.

Here is what author Rae Lori has to say about Black Speculative Fiction Month!

She's just Whimsically Yours!- Blogger and Writer Patrice Caldwell sits down with Twinja Book Reviews!

Diversify YA is such a great site for finding more about diverse experiences, especially from those promoting diversity in their writing. Patrice Caldwell was the first interview-ee I reached out to, and for good reason! Now she's here to talk about diversity in YA fiction!

1. We connected through a Diversity YA article of yours, but for those who didn't catch that interview, why dont know give us a better glimpse of who you are.

Of course! Hi Everyone *waves*, My name’s Patrice and I’m a 20 year old writer, reader, blogger among many other things (one of them being a college student but I’m currently going through finals so let’s not mention that, shh!). I’m originally from Northern Texas but now I’m in the Boston area because of that thing I said we weren’t going to mention right now ;) But actually, Marieke from DiversifYA did such a great job with that interview that you should all just go read the full thing here. While you’re there, be sure to check out all the other awesomeness that is DiversifYA (so many amazing interviews & discussions!!!).

2. You're an active presence on your blog "Whimsically Yours." You also balance going to college. Do you feel as though you sacrifice one for the other at times?
