NPR's Code Switch Celebrates Black Kiss-Story (and I'm there for it)!


So NPR Code Switch did a fun and thoughtful episode on Black historical romance and invited me to be a part of it. Listening to these amazing authors—Beverly Jenkins, Alyssa Cole, and Piper Huguley talk Black history and romance on Code Switch was a treat and a half this Valentine's week.

You can listen to the episode and read the essay referenced in the discussion here: Black Kiss-Story
