Black Speculative Fiction Month, Day 15:Author Alicia McCalla's Thoughts on #BSFM

 So we've been a bit taken back after KidLitCon. We're slowly gaining back momentum, after just a day of being back from California. 

To keep the ball rolling, we're featuring another author today. She's been on our blog before during our first annual Diversity Month event, and it probably wont be the last time she shows back up.
Her book "Breaking Free" will have made our list for best Black Speculative Fiction Month books in the YA catergory by the month's end(still figuring out , out of the pile of many, that we want to skim it down to) but in the meantime, here are author Alicia McCalla's thoughts on Black Speculative Fiction Month!

Jacqueline Koyanagi sits down with Twinja Book Reviews! Pardon as we blush!

 Her book has given us the biggest book boner! Black woman, dark skin, natural hair? AND sci-fi in one shot? We just had to learn about the author. She was more than happy to sit down and discuss with us, and it's a good thing. She needs to be seen! She has a unique perspective, and interviewing her has been awesome!

1. I am completely in awe of you! Ever since I saw your book, I've kept tabs on you and finally bought your novel "Ascension: A Tangled Axon", but for those first meeting you, why don't you tell us more about yourself.
