Tyhitia the “Demon Hunter” will be honoring four African American poets during Black History Month.
"In celebration of Black History Month, I have decided to feature four poets whom I admire. I'll feature a different poet each week during the month of February. I love poetry and will post my favorites by each poet. Please remember that Black History is everyone's history."

The Black Romance Reader will be highlighting African American Romance authors on her blog this month and there is a chance to win fun prizes!
"In the silent recesses of Black History Month lie the many, many talented men and women who have picked up a pen (or turned on a computer) and set their thoughts onto paper for all to see. During certain times this was dangerous, as it was, for a moment in history, illegal to teach a slave to read and write. Later, it morphed from being accepted, but only if writers stuck to “black subjects” like slavery, racism, and "the struggle." And to an extent it still is today. But I don’t want to worry at the hardships black authors experienced; Black History Month is supposed to be a celebration. So to celebrate the achievements of black romance authors, I am hosting a scavenger hunt where many fun prizes can be won. Starting Monday, a six o’clock am, keep your Google skills handy."
