Dr. Brenda Greene and award-winning author of fantasy and paranormal romance, L. Penelope, discuss her motivation for writing Black speculative fiction and the genesis and structure of her chronicle stories. The fiction of L. Penelope centers around Black women and focuses on themes related to history, politics, and romance. Black speculative fiction has exploded in print, film, television, and the media, and Greene and Penelope discuss its current state and future. Greene and Penelope also discuss her writing process and her podcast My Imaginary Friends, a weekly journal of her publishing life. Penelope’s debut novel, Song of Blood & Stone, was chosen as one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time. The novel also won the inaugural award for Best Self-Published Fiction from the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. Penelope is also an award-winning independent filmmaker and co-founder of a literary magazine.
