I am seeking African-American readers for my 80,000 WIP.
This is a paranormal historical thriller set in Civil War New Orleans. It pits the legendary voodoo queen Marie Laveau against the 19th Century's most notorious mass murderess, Delphine Lalaurie (both of these are actual historical figures).
Much of the theme of this novel centers around the history and experience of slavery extending from 18th-Century Haiti to 19th Century New Orleans. In addition, the novel is steeped in the practice of voodoo (not Hollywood Grade B stuff, but the real thing). I am specifically seeking African-American readers to make certain that this content feels authentic to them, and not excessively polemical or unrealistic.
Obviously other readers are welcome as well.
