I have written three fantasy novels featuring diverse characters.  One book features a First Nations teen with magical powers who is a secondary character, another is a black female Halifax cop who is a sidekick to an immortal spirit and they're on the hunt for a serial killer,  and my most recent novel features an Asian protagonist who hunts down killers of murdered women and children and puts them in the ground. I suppose I could have written both books with entirely white characters, but I did want very much to use the fact that I am a multi-published author to feature diverse characters. We live in a period where identity politics combined with the shrill nature of social media, creates an overall inability to have any kind of meaningful discussion. For me at least, if you don't like my books, don't buy them. I will continue to introduce diverse characters in my books  because, for me at least, it's the right thing to do if they are interesting and advance the plot.
