You often blog about AA romance and how its segregated from the general romance sections in bookstores, but have you thought about other genre’s where we black folk are underrepresented? I thin we have a toe in the door for mysteries, so I believe that you will have a broader audience in the mystery genre.
I love SF and aside from Octavia Butler and Steven Barnes, I don’t know of any Black SF writers – although I think your paranormal romances could be marketed there, too.

While roaming through the virtual world, I came across this site about AA and women writers in the SF (speculative fiction, not just science fiction) genre:
