@DescaradadoHunter hi!! I'm so glad you told me!! There has been a lot of toxic activity between authors right now in the historical world especially where they don't believe that white authors should be allowed to write stories except about white people. I've been very nervous to do anything outside of my comfort zone due to the fact that any white author who's written a book with a character that's not white is then attacked, their career destroyed and their books defamed. I believe fiction is the power of putting yourself in someone else's shoes and imaginging what their lives are like which helps us all grow to be empathetic and caring individuals. I have so many wonderful story ideas for characters of color that I would love to write so if you dont mind, I would love to mention your message along with a few others of a simliar nature I've received in an introductory author's note to readers explaining why I wrote a story with a non white protogonist, that way readers will know I wasn't trying to tell a story that wasn't mine to tell for profit, but because wonderful, supportive readers like you want to read it! Just let me know if that's okay! I may be able to get a book on my release schedule for next year :)
