Appropriately, Garcia appeared to have taken Picolo under her wing, allowing the indie illustrator to push limits and spread his wings… Accompanying me for the NYC signing was The Beat‘s Meg Chevatewa, acting as photographer and general assistant. Picolo is young, rising star artist with both his own original, compelling narratives (see his Icarus & the Sun story) and beautiful, unique character design. Now, however, we have a pair of fans joining up with the perfect balance of skill and perspective: Garcia is an excitable, confident, funny former teacher and veteran of Young Adult fiction and the supernatural.

The upcoming PBS documentary reveals how Black people have worshipped and, through their spiritual journeys, improvised ways to bring their faith traditions from the African continent to the New World while interpreting them into a form of Christianity that was truly their own, in a nation whose original sin was the enslavement of their ancestors across the Middle Passage.

Now she explores the sexiest subject of all: sex, and such questions as, what is an orgasm? How is it possible for paraplegics to have them? What does woman want, and can a man give it to her if her clitoris is too far from her vagina?
