Alicia McCalla began writing and self publishing professionally back in 2012. In the beginning, she wrote part time while she worked full time as a school media specialist tragedy struck and her only child an officer in the US Navy was lost at seeing this single event changed everything. 

 With the overwhelming intensity of her grief brain. She had to relearn how to live fully while honoring her son's legacy, and she often takes time to acknowledge her grief journey in her blog posts. Now Alicia is a full time writer and merchandiser, sharing stories and products of courageous, brave and strong black women warriors. 

She enjoys writing sisters with skills, swords, and superpowers. 

Alicia is black girl nerd, and regularly cosplays strong female superheroes, warriors, and maybe even a fairy because of her love of fan merchandise, and a desire to see black women represented in sci fi and fantasy merchandise. 

She launched her own shop Alicia McCalla's Emporium, featuring superheroines, vigilantes, huntresses, and much, much more. 

And in this interview today that Alicia very kindly came into my facebook group to do, we talk about how you can write fight scenes, and how it can become more than just a kick and a punch, Looking underneath the fight scene and how you can actually give that some depth how you can bring it out to be a vital part of the story.
