Latrivia Nelson
About
Latrivia Shante Nelson is an American novelist who writes contemporary interracial romance novels. She is credited with writing the first interracial romance novel (bw/wm) to exceed 600 pages. She is also the first African-American author to write about organized crime, specifically Russian Mafia figures, as anti-heroes to African-American heroines. Her shift into writing about organized crime as a part of interracial romance created a new subgenre for the interracial (bw/wm) romance community – Interracial Romantic Suspense. Listed over 10 times as an Amazon #1 bestselling author in her genre, she has authored over twenty novels since her first book. In July 2015, she was listed as a USA TODAY bestselling author with Seeking Santa, part of a compilation with 11 additional authors called 12 Alphas 12 Months. This box set was the first multicultural box set to ever be listed as on a USA TODAY bestseller list.
