RIM's Review of

Sins Of the Father by KR Bankston

Twenty years have passed and albeit they have been very rocky, Kayla is living her life. Her daughter Mariah the center of her joy. But as we all know legends never die and Kayla can testify to that. Behind the smile and warm words, when she is alone Dezi is there, leaving up to his nickname the Devastator. Kayla believed she was over him and does everything in her power to move past her lost love, but is hit with another blow. Old faces and bad memories from the past resurfacing knocking the floor from under her. Kayla regains control only to be hit with a blow that no one forseen, changing her and her family's life forever.

Bankston is a woman on a mission. A mission to bring suspense and craftsmanship back to urban fiction. Take a bow Mrs. Bankston mission accomplished. This sophomore project will leave you craving for more and cursing the author for not including at least one more chapter.

RIM's Review of How Could My Husband Be Gay By Ondrea L. Davis and J'son M. Lee

How Could My Husband Be Gay By Ondrea L. Davis & J’son M. Lee

Society's skewed views on Homosexuality causes those who would undoubtedly live freely and happily, to hide and live a life full of secrets. These secrets are not your normal every day secrets, but those that affect everyone involved.

Living the fairytale every little girl dreams of, Ondrea quickly finds out that happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it. 
How Could My Husband be Gay is an autobiographical account of Ondrea’s experience. The novel is roller coaster ride of emotion that takes you through all of Ondrea’s highs and lows. Because of all the “down low” situations popping up all over the place I would highly recommend this to any and everyone. So you’re not left asking how my husband could be Gay. The reviewer gives this 5 stars.

RIM's Review of Breaux by Chamsil

RIM's Review of Breaux by Chamsil

Revenge is a confession of pain and for Breaux that is exactly what he is feeling, nothing but pure unadulterated PAIN. After the untimely death of his twin brother Vernaud, Breaux is hell bent on revenge; anyone that comes within arm’s length is sure to feel his fury.

Breaux is a very quick read that will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. The fact that it is written in a nontraditional format actually enhances the overall experience, it allows you to fully feel Breaux’s anguish and pain as well see the whole experience through his eyes. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a fast paced enticing read. The reviewer gives this 4.9 stars because it ended too fast.

RIM'S AUTHOR OF THE MONTH

Lekeica BriMonae

Tell us about you.
Well, what do you really want to know? I am a mom of five, an academic advisor and coordinator of testing at CCRI, plus a full time student.

We heard you are a writer. What is your writing style?
Hmm, that's a hard one because I really don't have a particular style. I just write what the voices tell me and we go from there.

What made you want to write My Brother's Keeper?
I was taking a reading in short stories class and me in the instructor got into it because all of the stories we were reading were ones I read in high school. So I asked if we could read other genres or something else. He said that "African American lit" didn’t really have any value and he posed a challenge and the rest is history. (LOL)

How did you come up with the title?
I didn't a member of RIM came up with the title..Thanks Kim and Minah.

What book are you reading now?
Umm, I just finished Material girl 2 by Keisha Erving and I am following Kr Bankston's serial drama..Thin Ice. Also, I just finished all three of SK's Sin City Heat Series plus the book I have to review for RIM.

Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Sometimes it's hard to focus because the voices all want to heard at the same time. I know that might sound a little crazy but anything can trigger a story line to pop into my head.

Who designed the covers?
Me!!

Who is your favorite author and what is it that really strikes you about their work?
Now this is a loaded question because I have at least 10 favorites and several runner ups...

What is a hidden talent that you have?
ROTFLMAO... I don't have any that I can put out there like that.

You are stuck on an island, you can carry three authors. Who would those three authors be?
Come on three this is the hardest question in the dang world. But I would to need to bring folks I know are guaranteed to deliver; so I say KR Bankston, Keith Williams and Chamsil.  Umm now take that back maybe Elizabeth Lashaun, Keith Gaston and Teresa Patterson. Nope take that back. My grandma always what you do for one you have to do for everyone. So  guess what WE ALL are going to be stuck on that damn island...LOL
