Another book I'm really excited about: Harlem Sunset by Nekesia Afia. A mystery in the Golden Age style, set in the Harlem Renaissance—a period and movement I'm very interested in. It looks terrific! nekesaafia.com/

Happy Birthday to Zora Neale Hurston, born in Alabama in 1891. Hurston, a leader in the Harlem Renaissance, wrote four novels, including Their Eyes Were Watching God, and more than 50 short stories, plays, and essays.
