There are few readers that have read more Black Indie Speculative Fiction or is more supportive than Tina Hurd Winston. Tina is an avid Black Speculative Fiction reader in general, but is especially enthusiastic about indie creators. I met her online not long after I began publishing and I've been a fan ever since. So when I decided to compile a list of authors, Tina was the first person I contacted. Not only did she provide a list, she also listed the books by the author that she enjoyed the most.
Here's Tina's List. It's worth a good look, and I hope you find a book or two that will end up on your reading list.
