Conscious Ink: From The Bottom of Heaven- The Tales of Neveryon and Pretty Salma

Word from The Bottom Of Heaven brings 'Neveryon' into the spotlight decades after it's release. I grow more thankful everyday finding blogs and organizations that seek out diversity in fiction. The Tales of Neveryon is first in a Black and Multicultural Sword and Sorcery series spanning 1979-1987.




Another recommendation from The Bottom of Heaven is 'Pretty Salma by Niki Daly'; a Ghanian version of Little Red Riding Hood for the youth. The author is a European South African man.
