Anything can happen on Heliotrope Boulevard. In "Escape from Beckyville: Tales of Race, Hair and Rage," go inside a futuristic Los Angeles where female wraiths prey on black women for their hair, southern maids possess superpowers and black women live in fear of being stopped by the Rage Patrol. Ten dysfunctional divas – all named Jones – struggle to survive among the chaos, as they deal with their own insecurities and their relationship to "Becky." In these ten twisted and provocative tales, Nicole D. Sconiers tackles issues of race, hair and rage in witty, haunting and terrifying ways.
Lethal Lottery (Trayvon 2.0)
"I’ve blogged about the tragic death of Trayvon Martin and the criminalization of black males. The tragedy still weighs heavily on my mind, especially in light of the smear campaign launched against the slain teen. Author and colleague Alicia McCalla came up with the brilliant idea of writing a science fiction response to the killing of Trayvon Martin. The following short story is my tribute to Trayvon and hunted black boys everywhere."
