What did you learn (about yourself, about other races/cultures, anything)?ĭo you think you will continue to seek out multicultural romances in the future? Why or why not? Which books/authors did you enjoy the most? But I’d like to challenge every reader here to set a goal to read at least one multicultural romance per month, and then come back here next December to report back. If you’re like me, you probably have dozens or hundreds of unread books on your Kindle and may not be in the market for another book at this point.

Have you ever read one of Jeannie Lin’s Asian romances? Other highly-rated multicultural authors are: Zena Wynn, Sienna Mynx, Latrivia Nelson, Delilah Hunt, Ruthie Robinson, Mallory Monroe, Lena Matthews, and Theodora Taylor.

Multicultural romance comes in a wide variety of colors. Piper does write romances, after all.Īnd you might just discover that multicultural romance can be just as satisfying and enjoyable as the ones you normally read… and that you really can identify with a heroine of another race or culture after all. But these characters learn to rise above them, depending on their faith, resilience, and determination to survive in a world that is biased against them.Īnd yes, there is a happy-ever-after. Yes, there are some serious topics raised. I mean, if reading is a sort of escape from the negativity of the world, why would I choose to read a story that’s bound to be depressing?īut that’s not how Piper’s characters see things. I prefer the Regency era, while I might read earlier Georgian or later Victorian, but I wouldn’t have expected to enjoy an African-American, depression-era, inspirational romance set in the South. We agreed to beta-read for one another, and Piper sent me her draft of A Champion’s Heart in December just prior to the entry deadline for the 2013 Golden Heart competition (which this story finaled in, by the way).įrankly, it’s not likely I would have picked up this book on my own. An offshoot of that is our History Lovers page. Although the four of us all wrote from different historical contexts-I was the only Regency author-we decided to continue our association and formed a Facebook group to help keep in touch.

Piper Huguley and I first met in November 2012 when we were placed in a historical NANO group together by Savvy Authors.
