Is there any African-American authors who don't write hood lit?

I am not into it. I just don't care for guns and violence. I want a little drama and romance like Emily Giffin and Jennifer Weiner. I've read their books and but I want it focused on black people. Any suggestions?
Umm...I met really current. Not WW2.
 
Have you tried Rochelle Alers, Joanne Skerrett or Brenda Jackson?

ReShonda Tate Billingsley might be a possibility, too. I'm more of a mystery and fantasy person, so I was going to suggest Stephen White or Olivia Butler until I read the rest of your question.

Good luck finding something you like!
