Locus Recommended ReadingWhen Taggert''s adopted daughter goes missing he suspects the hand of an old enemy. He gathers friends, family, and even those who don''t quite trust that he has left his violent past behind. But their search leads them to an unexpected place, the past, and the consequences of their journey have a price that is higher than they can afford.Praise for The Liminal People:"A great piece of genre fiction. But picking which genre to place it in isn''t easy. The first in a planned series, it''s got the twists and taut pacing of a thriller, the world-warping expansiveness of a fantasy yarn, and even the love-as-redemption arc of a romance. Oh yeah, a lot of the characters in it have superhuman powers, too."—The Rumpus"Ayize''s imagination will mess with yours, and the world won''t ever look quite the same again."—Nalo Hopkinson"An action-packed thriller and a careful look at the moral dilemmas of those whose powers transcend humanity."—Publishers WeeklyThe enigmatic quagmire that is Ayize Jama-Everett has been making his presence felt all across this world since 1974. In New York, California, Morocco, Ethiopia, and elsewhere, he has impressed, reviled, and astonished with his amazing feats of mental alacrity and mystical inebriation. Despite being degreed in both divinity and psychology, the forlorn artist stakes his reputation and honor on the calling of author. He is known to be cunning in the ways of the bottle, the pen, and the pistol.

Chabi doesn't realize her martial arts master may not be on the side of the gods. She does know he's changed her from being an almost invisible kid to one that anyone -- or at least anyone smart -- should pay attention to. But attention from the wrong people can mean more trouble than even she can handle. Chabi might be emotionally stunted. She might have no physical voice. She doesn't communicate well with words, but her body is poetry.

In the final novel of the Liminals, a found family of Black superheroes has one last chance to save the world.
After traveling back in time to rescue his fostered daughter, Taggert has returned to the present and found himself in his favorite place: up against the wall. But the world they’ve returned to is not the one they left: everything is slightly grayer, the music is boring, joy is just out of reach. The liminals’ entropic enemies, the Alters, are trying to bring about the end of the world by sucking the life—literally—out of enough people to tip the balance their way.
Traveling from Jamaica to London to Indonesia to the heart of the whirlwind in the desert at the heart of all deserts, Taggert and his found family of liminals and supporters have to find a way to bring back the joy before they’re all ground down into the gray dust.

When violence breaks out between them, it reveals a deeper truth that Black spiritual traditions are under threat.When Cecil Prosperous, a preacher with vast power and little compassion, reshapes belief into obedience, descends on Oakland, Yote, Kavita, and Hannibal are forced into an uneasy alliance.
