You Got That Moxie Baby!!!!
So as many of you know, my novel, Hollowstone, was released through Parker Publishing.
A fine indy press that celebrates quality fiction for readers of distinction, Parker celebrates black, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic literature. In addition, it's been the home to some world class authors, including the late L.A. Banks.
While romance has been Parker's tour de force, they've recently made a concerted effort to expand and to branch out into other genres through various imprints. I was honored to learn that Hollowstone was in fact one of their first titles for their Moxie line.
Moxie focuses on the multi-ethnic Young Adult stories which ranges from the contemporary to paranormal. These tales explore the young adult's journey while embracing the diversity of culture.
In addition to Hollowstone, Moxie also some other excellent titles. Excellent titles whose signal should be boosted.
