Here’s a great list of African-American mystery writers from the Los Angeles Public Library.
Maurice Broaddus has been published in magazines such as Asimov’s Science Fiction, Cemetery Dance, Apex Magazine, Black Static and Weird Tales.
In 2012 Angry Robot published Broaddus’ The Knights of Breton Court trilogy in an omnibus edition.
Broaddus’ steampunk novella Buffalo Soldier was released in 2017 by Tor and was described by the New York Times Book Review as an “exciting” story packed with “alternate American history, fantastic technology and father-son bonding.”
