Inclusive Young Adult Fiction: Authors of Colour in the United Kingdom
by Melanie Ramdarshan BoldThis book examines ‘diversity’, or the lack thereof, in young adult fiction (YA) publishing. It focuses on cultural hegemony in the United Kingdom and explores how literary culture aimed at young adults reproduces and perpetuates ‘racial’ and ethnic cultural hierarchies. Diversity is described by the We Need Diverse Books project as ‘all diverse experiences, including (but not limited to) LGBTQIA, Native, people of color, gender diversity, people with disabilities, and ethnic, cultural, and religious minorities’. This study focuses on people of colour. While previous studies have looked at the representation of ethnic minorities in books for children and young adults, this book examines the experiences of ‘own voice’ cultural producers that create a counter-narrative. Specifically, this book will investigate the output and experiences of British young adult fiction authors of colour (BAME authors) published in the UK during the period 2006-2016, drawing upon semi-structured interviews with a sample of authors.

Indigo Alloy: Mixologists And Pirates Part Six (Mixologists and Pirates #6)
by Frost KayFact 417 – Kidnapping was not sexy. The old Earth romances had it wrong. Being captured by an attractive elfin alien was anything but glamourous. It was slave labor with a pinch of harassment. But Allie Sai wouldn’t take anyone’s gruff, even if it meant challenging the scariest man she’d ever met, erm.. alien.Fact 359 – Southern belles never played by the rules. Poker was always her game of choice, so it was fitting that to take down Sloven and win her freedom, Allie had to take a chance and do the impossible – destroy the King’s criminal empire and get out without dying. Simple, right? If only. Fact 205 – Luck had a funny way of changing when you least expected it. It was just one compromise…Once you take one sip of this series, you'll probably want to keep coming back for more! ~ Goodreads ReviewerMixologists and Pirates Series1 - Amber Vial2 - Emerald Bane3 - Scarlet Venom4 - Cyan Toxin5 - Onyx Elixir6 - Indigo Alloy
