​It’s important to take time and pay homage to those who have gone before us.
​The writers who have broken down barriers, inspired us, and opened doors for future writers. We all know of the GREATS, Zora Neale Hurston (my Soror!), Toni Morrison, and James Baldwin (just to name a few). However, I’ve been blessed with live within a time where a surge of black fiction writers created and released great works!

One of my fav authors, Eric Jerome Dickey tells a story like no other. His creative genius has pumped book lovers to dive into his world of love, lust, suspense, mystery and so much more. An author of my generation, I'm fortunate to have been able to experience his genius release and release.
​
Writing short stories weren't enough for Dickey, and I'm glad b/c a few pages from him would not be enough. Me and other fans of his work would def been left wanting more. ​

​"I'd set out to do a ten-page story and it would go on for three hundred pages." 
​It took him three years of writing and sending query letters until he found an agent. The blessings of his door opening was a blessing for us as well. We were introduced to one of the greatest urban fiction writers of our time.

​My all time favorite book is Chasing Destiny. I remember going to the bookstore in college and finding that new release; excited about what visual ride Dickey was going to take me on. Many book releases later, this New York Times Best Selling Author is continuing to give more than just a read, his words ensures a great experience.

​So lets take time to salute this great writer, whose words have entertained, inspired, and taken us on a fantastic journey. 

Update: Unfortunately the writing community has suffered a great loss in the sudden passing of Eric Jerome Dickey. Although he will be greatly missed, his work and influence will live on and inspire generations to come. Please continue to keep his family and loved ones in your hearts and prayers.

R.I.P. Eric Jerome Dickey and THANK YOU!
