I somewhat follow J.A. Konrath's blog and I'm aware of other success stories like Amanda Hocking and others. I'm wondering about Black indie authors, though, and which ones have achieved incomes of five figures per month or more (strictly from ebooks). Being that Blacks are roughly 12% of America's total population and that our interests are spread over a variety of genres and that most other groups aren't interested in books with Black main characters, I'm wondering just how much success an indie Black fiction author can realistically hope for.
Do you know of any really successful Black indie fiction authors? I'm particularly interested in those who didn't traditionally publish first and enter the business with a following already.
