Two of my characters are African-American. I didn't want to fall into the trap of using stereotypes, so I gave my draft to an African-American friend and asked her to review it. She suggested that I not immediately identify the ethnic group of a character but let it become evident as the story evolved.

I have added an African American family to my<br />series, too, and have had a lot of positive comments about them, especially the nine year old twins, and the two elderly sisters who bicker. The parents are both professionals - a teacher and a lawyer.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-26210397910253960202017-10-06T06:13:56.501-04:002017-10-06T06:13:56.501-04:00Warren,
