When it comes to finding books by Black authors, it helps to have a few authors in mind, then head to the library or bookstore. Brenda Jackson and Beverly Jenkins are two of the most famous when it comes to romance, so I head straight for the J's in either Barnes and Noble or my local library or Half Price Bookstore.
Simply walking through the store, you're bound to find a book with a Black face on the front, letting you know that you're in the section that you've been searching for.
Zane is another very popular author who has penned several erotic fiction books. Traveling into any bookstore, you are bound to find some books by her, along with Eric Jerome Dickey and Farrah Rochon, to name a couple more. I don't know about you all, but it's hard for me to treat myself to one just one book at a time.
Online is an excellent place to find books by Black authors, specifically Instagram and Pinterest.
