Books of Soul (www.booksofsoul.com) has posted interviews with a diverse group of African American authors. Featuring first-time, self-published, bestselling, and award-winning writers, each interview offers an interesting insight into writing and promoting books.
Best-selling and multi-award winning author Laura Parker Castoro has written (39) thirty-nine books. A sought-after speaker and writing workshop leader, Laura puts her passion for the written word to good use. She has written historical romances, westerns, sagas, romantic suspense, Young Adult nonfiction, and mainstream women’s fiction. She also writes articles for magazines and newspapers. Love On The Line is her most recent release.
Pamela Samuels Young is a Los Angeles attorney and the author of the legal thrillers, Murder On The Down Low, Every Reasonable Doubt, and In Firm Pursuit. A former journalist and native of Compton, Pamela serves on the Board of Directors of the Southern California chapter of Mystery Writers of America. She is a graduate of USC, Northwestern University and UC Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School of Law. A desire to see engaging female and African-American attorneys depicted in today’s mainstream legal fiction motivated Pamela to start writing despite a busy legal career.
Janete Scobie is a lover of language and passionate about great storytelling and writing. She was born on the Caribbean island of Dominica. Along with her family, she migrated to the United States and grew up in New York City. Janete is a graduate of Cornell University and of the Sorbonne.

Tamara K. Fournier founded Vision Development Corporation (VDC) in reflection of her own personal success story. P.I.E.C.E.S.: A Booster's Story is her story. Born in Columbus, Ohio and raised in the Church, Tammy’s connection to her spiritual foundation began at an early age as the sister of a minister and wife to a minister’s son. Her life course took a turn for the worst when she divorced her husband of 14 years and married a Dominican drug dealer. Swept off of her feet and into the fast lane, her life spun out of control, and the end result was her 3-year incarceration. Today, she is currently the Program Director for the Revival Development Corporation at Trinity Baptist Church.
In addition to these interviews, the Books of Soul website also features its monthly bestseller list of African American books, including mysteries, romance novels, children's books and urban fiction, selected from the Amazon.com website.
"These interviews provide a unique insight into writing and, more specifically, into writing for the African American reader," remarks Eric Brasley, founder of BooksofSoul.com. "We're hoping that reader and writer alike will discover something unique and something enticing."
BooksofSoul.com, founded last year, continues to focus on sharing new and upcoming releases of books and other literary works by and about African Americans and African cultures, and to support the authors, publishers, bookstores, book clubs, and libraries who share the same interest.
