She said there would be new issues instead with two of her previous stories being worked in some how down the road. “It’s been a roller coaster for sure, but the endless support here and on Twitter and elsewhere made everything worthwhile and now things are better than I could have hoped for and I’ll be talking about all of it soon!”Īs for the actual stories we’ll be seeing, Sue from DC Women Kicking Ass asked Simone if the stories she had already written were going forward. A happy thing, and there’s more news coming I can’t tell yet, but soon. No word on whether or not the editor who initially let Simone go from the title will be overseeing her continued work. Simone seems overjoyed at the news, as are fans, albeit still a bit confused since they have no idea how this all went down. He is doing issues 17 and 18, I return on 19.Īnd that’s basically where we’re at today. I can’t wait to read his other work…honestly, people I really respect won’t shut up about it. I got to speak to him a little bit by email, he could not have been nicer. I didn’t know Ray Fawkes when he was announced as the full-in writer…but all my friends were RAVING about him.

Indeed, she has a bag full of notes about Dad’s late-blooming nefariousness: “In this satchel,” she intones, “is some of the evidence I’ve collected over the summer.” Evidence of what? Well, out among the cornflowers and hollyhocks, a corpse, maybe more than one, might just lie, for Dad has a kinky, hidden side. Ah, but Mum, who turns up in London, having fled, may not be loony at all. A frantic email (“Nothing else, just my name, an exclamation mark”) alerts Daniel to the fact that something is rotten across the North Sea, where Mum has been parked in a hospital while Dad mutters worriedly about her declining mental faculties. Smith, who has family ties to Sweden, works a customarily Nordic twist, too, by setting family members at one another’s throats-and quite unnicely, too. The change of scene puts Smith squarely atop territory claimed by Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell and other masters of Scandinavian mayhem. Mama’s gone crazy, daddy’s gone crazy, and Smith ( Child 44, 2008) has skipped over from Stalin’s Russia to the idyllic Swedish countryside for his latest thriller. He may have at the very beginning, but there are things in Alex Haley's book that makes his fiction superior. This is the book that was said that Alex Haley plagiarized. If there were any justice in the world of literature, Courlander’s would be the book recommended to grade school kids rather than Haley’s fraud. Aside from being better written, better researched & better paced, it humanizes and demonstrates the religious, ethnic, ideological, cultural and individual diversity of Africans and Black Americans - while Haley seems so dedicated to presenting his supposed ancestors as suffering saints that he strips them of all agency, personality, individuality or vitality. The most galling part is that not only is Courlander’s book shorter than Haley’s, but Courlander’s book is BY FAR the better one. Alex Haley plagiarized from this when writing "Roots." Courlander took him to court and, though Haley initially huffed it was all nonsense, Haley actually settled and issued one final concession: "Alex Haley acknowledges and regrets that various materials from 'The African' by Harold Courlander found their way into his book 'Roots.'" Through magic, one assumes.

We need books that talk about real issues" whether it's coming out or racism. Yoon remains committed to presenting diverse characters in her fiction, saying, "We need lots of kinds of books.
