Welcome back to the Black Author Spotlight!
The goal of this segment is to highlight Black authors who are often marginalized and ignored in the publishing industry. Black writers usually turn to self-publishing--an already densely populated industry--to have their stories seen, and it is said that we have to work twice as hard to get half of what our white counterparts have. Hopefully, shining a little light on these authors will help to signal boost the work they are putting out there.
This month, I am highlighting Minnie Warren, an independent faith-centered author of contemporary fiction and suspense. She is originally from Alabama but now lives in New Mexico, and her work is shaped by her love for family, service, and her daughter.
Hear directly from Minnie: "My stories explore faith, family, identity, forgiveness, resilience, difficult relationships, redemption, and suspense while keeping the characters and emotional journeys grounded and authentic."
Her current titles are:
The Finding Home Series
Finding Home
Before We Found Home
Where Grace Leads
Faith-based Mystery & Suspense
The Silence After Amen
The Secrets We Bury
What the River Kept
Children's Book
*NEW* The Backpack with Room for Love
