African American Romance Readers

Hi, I'm looking for any readers that enjoy reading African American Romance Fiction that has a Nook.  I would like to become friends with you so we can take advantage of the LEND feature on the Nook.   I have wasted a lot of money with books that were awful.   Yes, I have downloaded the samples, but some times that does not help.   If you are interested, please reply to this post.   Thank You.

Re: African American Romance Readers

Might I suggest you reach out also to goodreads... They have a great blend of people and I'm sure you will find more readers in no time... Maybe even make it a club or a forum...

Re: African American Romance Readers

I feel that they charge more for our books than any others, almost triple the going rate for paper books which has me feeling some type of way.  I am not to sure as to how long I will be purchasing any books from B&N  as they are clearly gouging those of us who wish to purchase books by minority authors!

Is this true? What's the price? Are they trade paperbacks? Because those are always more expensive than mass market sized paperbacks, and that's set by the publishers not B&N or any other retailer.

Re: African American Romance Readers

Hi!

 

I've already added you tfoxsmith so this post in intended for new ppl who may read this...

 

ADD ME!! I love African American Romance novels!! They're the main reason I got a nook. I'd read them once and they'd sit around the house collecting dust.

 

Any who... my email is tsmith14@tigers.sgc.edu. I'm also on facebook and twitter. Looking forward to lending with you!

Re: African American Romance Readers

Hi all I thought I'd put in my two cents to this group

Harlequin has a group of novels that you might like

Kimani Press and they are all reasonable and available here at B&N

here's the Harlequin link

Re: African American Romance Readers

If you are interested in Paranormal Romance where the main character is an African American female, then I'll give you my two books for free.

 

Both books' summary and reviews are here: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5402447.Kenya_Wright

 

The books I will give away are here:

 

Caged View (Habitat .5)

--can simply be downloaded from smashwords.

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/141149

 

Fire Baptized (Habitat 1)

--email me at wrigkenya@gmail.com. I'll email you the ebook. Just put "B&N" in the subject line.

Re: African American Romance Readers

@KenyaWright:

 

You made a similar post on either the Paranormal and Urban Fantasy board or the Fantasy and Science Fiction board, or both, but those posts have now mysteriously disappeared, as has the reply I posted when you did not respond to my e-mail.  I sent the e-mail to you as instructed on March 14, and when I did not receive the free ebook by e-mail as promised, I sent you a PM here on B&N, to which you also have not replied.

 

I am posting this here to warn all other board users not to expect you to honor your offer and to suggest that authors who treat prospective readers this way are not deserving of our time.
