Science fiction author and Afrofuturist Maurice Broaddus talks about A City Dreaming, the conclusion to his “Astra Black” space opera trilogy.
Maurice talks about having to keep everything connected to be able to bring all of the threads together in a satisfying way, despite his editor’s initial skepticism. Will there be postcards or other media where we will get to see artistic renderings of the ships of the series?
