She is also the first African American to win the Bram Stoker Award, the top achievement for a writer of horror, an honor she has now received five times.

- And, the Tucson non-profit Literacy Connects sponsors a group of performers and musicians called “Stories That Soar!”. They help young writers realize the power and potential of bringing their stories to life, for the stage, video, and radio. We are now presenting these stories on the first Thursday of every month here on Arizona Spotlight.
This time, listen to the musical tale of "Andrew the Rapper", a 5th grade student with the goal of inspiring others with his skills. But, like every young musician, he needs to overcome barriers and prove himself while staying true to his values. "Andrew the Rapper" was written by a 5th grader, with music performed and produced by TheCurrentLuke, a member of the team at Stories That Soar!
Aspiring student-age writers can submit their stories to The Magic Box Story Portal now!
