The Dragon Heiress

"Sirius?" followed rather promptly by, "No, no, I think he died before he finished his memoir... 'My Life in Wizard Hell'..."

Fixed. Oh, and ...hm, where's that carpmoticon when I need it?

As for the dragon, it having that face makes it seem that much scarier to me >_>

I work for a fairly large book conglomerate, We'll call it..."Sporder's", and in our look up system there is a separate subject code for African American Fiction, which includes like, Sapphire, and Zane, Wright, Hurston, Walker, and basically any black author who writes about black people. Most stores in my region also keep these books in a separate section. I also work in a library, and our branch recently made a section devoted to African American Fiction that is separate from the regular sections. It's probably a regional practice.

I too would return a dragon that had the face of Paris Hilton. For the same reason I can't watch "House of Wax", because that woman gives me nightmares.

At the library I work at we always get people asking "where is the black fiction section?" We tell them they are mixed in with the regular fiction, by author's last name.

I did once ask a cw in charge of the fiction why there isn't an African-American section, and she said if we started seperating one thing, we will have a lot of requests to seperate others. I don't know if she meant have seperate the hispanic writers, the italian writers, etc, or people want the mystery books with a food theme seperate from mystery books with animal theme. Or the romance novels seperated by time period, etc.

Though the African-American fiction is always depleted, either because the books are checked out or missing or being discarded for being worse for wear.
