Let’s start with Seta Aset. She was a friendly looking woman sitting a table covered in books and candy. She showed me her book trilogy and the manuscript for the 4rth book in her Kemetstry series that she is currently finishing up. Seta Aset is a writer who lives in Hoover and has created an entire universe of monsters, androids, esoteric knowledge, a fight for personal and global justice, and a very, very cool, very powerful, very badass heroine that is more than mortals can handle. Aset is also working on making the  book series into an animated series. She is a talented voice actor and provides the voices for all of her villains and good guys.  She will be at the Hoover Library Sci-Fi/Fantasy Fest (July 27-29), and I highly recommend you find her table and get a book and have a chat. She’s friendly, warm, and so energetic about her creative pursuits it’s contagious. And in a world where sci-fi and fantasy are very…well…white and male, it’s awesome to see black women writing in the genre, and on top of that, writing characters that unashamedly resemble themselves. Ms. Aset gave me a signed copy of her first book, but the series is available online if you don’t get the chance to meet her in person.
