So, a few years ago, I got really tired of seeing novels and films that portrayed black people in BDSM spaces as a bad thing. So, I took it upon myself to write a BDSM love story featuring black protagonists and a mostly-black cast. Because we deserve love too. I actually finished the book back in April - 74,000+ words - and submitted it to many traditional publishers. I waited months for responses, trying to be patient. But then, one publisher finally responded… and told me that because of my focus on African American protagonists, they “didn’t think they would be able to make it sell”. That was a much-needed wakeup call for me. I wrote the book in the first place because I realized if we don’t tell our stories, no one else will. I shouldn’t have expected publishing the book to be in any way different. So, as of today… Volume 1 of my unapologetically black series of BDSM romance novels, Within The Frame, is up for pre-order on Amazon. Please check it out, support by reblogging and sharing, and be sure to check this blog out for future black BDSM stories! Best Regards, Victor Alexander -- source link
