I looooove Octavia Butler. Until her death, she was the only black female science fiction writer. She writes as though she is inside of the story - if that make sense to you. Like..she's in this alternate universe and she's telling you about her people. She writes with attention to detail. It seems like she's like me - she's people-watched and she gets the little things right.
Go to http://www.blackamericaweb.com/site.aspx/bawnews/butler228 to read her bio.
Anywho..I've decided to read everything she's written. A total of 17 books (minus her articles in science fiction books)
