Welcome! I am Nefarious J.R. Bane, an African American author specializing in Afrocentric epic fantasy. I weave tales steeped in richly layered mythology, set against the expansive backdrops of worlds inspired by the vibrant tapestry of African cultures and history. With a vivid imagination and a passion for storytelling, I seek to explore narratives beyond the traditional Western fantasy tropes, creating universes where individuals of color are the heroes, the leaders, the magicians, and the protagonists of their own epic tales. Each page turned is a journey into a realm where the fantastic mingles with the historic, where mythical beasts roam alongside warriors and sages, all colored with the hues of our ancestral lands. My characters stand strong, resilient, and multifaceted, drawing upon their heritage, wisdom, and inner strength to navigate the intricate plots and intense challenges that shape their destinies. The core of my storytelling is rooted in Afrocentric philosophy and spirituality, embracing and celebrating the beauty, depth, and diversity of African cultures and perspectives.
