Historical Black, African, all People of Color (POC) Fiction author research references, prompts, and links!
[UPDATING THIS PAGE, SHOULD BE READY SHORTLY-ISH]
I’m Neale Sourna, award-winning author, publisher, game writer, and screenwriter.
In writing an African British historical novel called "Becca DuMaurier", in the historical periods of the British Restoration of the 1660 - 1685 and the Glorious Revolution of 1688 for several years, it has included much research, online and off, and yet...
When I searched and now still search, the same lists of decades old works or dead authors comes to the fore. They’re great, but it’s a very limited list; and sometimes too dated and inadequate to the task.
There are new views, researches, and voices now; yours, mine, and other Black, African or People of Color of all kinds, genders, shades, and persuasions to trigger great stories that tickle and touch or emotions and change our personal worlds; just a little, sometime a lot.
Plus, most of the old lists look like People of Color did not exist nor love in historical times; such as the limited view of African Americans only being involved with Black Slavery, the Harlem Renaissance, or various "Black Struggles".
Did you know that Tsar / Czar Nicholas II of Russia, murdered in 1918 with his entire family in a basement in Siberia, had an African American employed servant? Now, how did he get there, what was his path, and what happened to him, once the royal family was arrested, held, then murdered.
Hm, there's a story premise.
General history makes it look as if our stories weren’t and aren’t storytelling worthy. Or never happened. Well, that’s an effing lie! If we can make up heroic "fake" European descent cowboys, entrepreneurs, etc., why not change their color and background, or gender, and see what happens.
It probably did happen, and was suppressed.
So, I’m adding lists and links of historical references of People of Color for the search engines to lead you in your searches and discoveries of things past to reshape our now and futures. And, if you wish to Swap Links, let's do that and help others find us, read us, and experience something familiar yet new in the shading.
_I’m Neale Sourna of PIE: Perception Is Everything.
So much is about chasing income and popularity numbers. Striving has its merits, but so does floating and just being.
Like water and nutrients to a flower, respect for another's living and relieving their needs as you wish yours to be, makes that flower grow; straight and unburdened.
What we know can relieve another's stress, save their life, or even save someone's sanity, if we share it.
Living in the world and giving, sharing more of what we know and feel; unlike sharing a MATERIAL THING, sharing IDEAS and FEELINGS is a growing thing.
Whether your are the one who gives or the one who receives—both of us have it.
There is gratitude, the respect for another's service that helps you.
Feel grateful.
Experience grateful within you.
And let your thank you be as generous as your heart and situation will allow.
"You get what you give."
"Trash in, trash out."
Zen in, Zen out.
Links, emails, etc. Whatever seems interesting and / or intriguing; especially something lost and refound that can be, well, profound to the writer in you.
