Excitement in an Old WiP & Black Faces in Fantasy Literature
But upon coming back to it the other day I did, I remember reading over my work and thinking, “Why isn’t she [the MC with all the knowledge and power], black?” There was no reason she couldn’t be after all, and I’d been inspired by all of the covers with black protagonists I’d seen in the fantasy section of Barnes and Noble, understanding an apt confusion for readers when they would see my DARK WORLD series and not see any black characters on the covers, though there are black characters in the world.
Incoming Husky and Ending Semester
So I’m getting a Husky (tomorrow) (and yes it looks like the picture below, except a puppy) (YAY)and finishing up school hence the lack of proper blog posts.

Future Books

Bordeaux, and The Immortal’s Guide. I’m expanding and making former maybe ideas into something much more concrete! If you’re on Goodreads, add me as a friend and maybe send me a message? I love to talk to fellow writers and people in general! Keep your bite you lovely Creatures! -S.C. Parris

Quick Post: Judgment Release Date Announced Soon!
So thanks to my lovely writing friend Lindsey R. Sablowski, I’ve decided to go ahead and publish Judgment, a novel I was originally going to wait until I’d finished The Delacroix Series to publish. Set for Spring 2013 (for now), I’ll post more information about it as it arises. For now, I’ve posted a full excerpt of the book on my website, which you can read here. Leave comments on it and let me know what you think. Keep your bite. -S.C./Sheron Parris
