I have always wanted to write a YA fantasy book. I recently read a book called <b>Sea Clearwater</b> which was written by author Selene Cardenas at the young age of thirteen. I couldn't put it down. It has a great message - Whenever you are facing evil and danger, it’s okay to be afraid, but learn how to control that fear to overcome it. Fabulous interview!

I especially liked reading Cynthia's tips for writing a characters in fantasy. I agree that when writing about a culture that is not your own, do your homework. Too many times I've read books with "exoctic" African characters (this also happens in movies all the time to various ethnic groups). My hope is that through Tu Publishing, Cynsations and other blogs/websites, more books will be read and promoted featuring poc so the publishing companies will start publishing more diverse books.
