Authors, do not take this woman lightly…You have been warned!

Being inside Marilyn “OG” Brown’s interrogation room is a scary place to be for most. It causes panic attacks in some, hyperventilation in others, hives, cold sweats, nausea, and even a severe case of diarrhea of the mouth of those who just won’t shut up.

Yes, I’ll be the first to admit that I have experienced all these things recently. And yes, I told everything I knew and then some. The interrogator came down on me hard with her iron fist, and I whimpered like a one-hundred-twenty-pound, yellow-back coward who had to fight against Iron Mike in his prime at the rigid hands of Marilyn “OG Publications” Brown.

However, despite the above the experience of being inside the interrogation room, it was exactly the opposite which I experienced over a decade-and-half ago. Back then I was naïve, and ignorant as to what I was facing, and ended up with a twenty year sentence.

But being an author inside the realm of Marilyn “OG” Brown’s interrogation room was indeed a heralding experience too say the least. Did I mention pleasant, and fun as well. I would recommend her to any author who seeks to expose themselves to a new audience, and wants to know why pipes burst under pressure. Marilyn’s style of interviewing authors is efficient, effective and done with military precision. So, if you’re an author looking to do a fast-paced interview that will definitely put some highlights in your career. Marilyn “OG” Brown comes with the highest recommendation from dioncheese.com, and my team at The Urb.

When given the opportunity, I had the privilege of finding out more about her. And, it wasn’t easy because Marilyn is always busy honing her craft which she does very well; catapulting authors’ careers in an environment that is not very conducive to what she does. However giving the Facebook Platform, her interviews merely vanish after a few hours thereby diminishing her effectiveness but will sharpen any author’s ability to handle themselves in a fast-paced setting.

Fortunately, I feel blessed to have the platform to tell others about this wonderful woman and the great job she is doing; which is helping new authors get discovered. I also had the opportunity to ask some questions about her origin. Marilyn, you will find is as candid as they come. Therefore without any drawbacks I introduce Marilyn “OG” Brown.

Let The Questioning Begin!

DionCheese.com: How did you become an author? Was it because you weren’t allowed to have any Xanax as a child? LOL!

LOL! But seriously, I’ve always had a passion for writing or telling stories as a young child. I used it to tame my vivid imagination. Although writing has always been my passion I was detoured by some life’s challenges. After having my first child, graduating from college, owning my own business unfortunately, I decided to start using illegal drugs. My life became a downward spiral of drugs, jail and homelessness. I was caught in the grips of drug addiction for almost 20 years. It wasn’t until my husband came home from work and ask me “what do you want to do for the rest of your life, because this shit has got to stop!” I said ” I want to write book”. That following week when he got paid he brought me a computer, this is when “SLYCE” was born. Writing saved my life. I’ve been clean for nine years.

Why did you start the Slyce Book Club? Were you out to expose the cutthroats in the business?

No, I started SLYCE THE BOOK CLUB three years ago. I was a new author, and knew nothing about the LIT GAME. I figure I’d provide a forum where authors who like myself could come and meet each other, get some information, and help each other out. I started out with 44 people and now we’ve grown close to 4000. I’m Blessed.

How long have you been published? And what can we expect from you in the near future besides terrorizing others inside your Interrogation Room?

Well, I’ve been a published author for four years. I’ve written DREAM KILLERS, FOREVER A GANGSTA and a G-4-LIFE. All of these books are currently in the process of being revised and re-released on my own imprint O.G. (Only GOD) PUBLICATION. DREAM KILLERS will be released DECEMBER 2014. I have also done a collab with Aija Butler for her book THE JOURNEY. My short story is FOREVER A GANGSTA- Murder Was The Case. It’s the beginning of my true life story RAW AND UNCUT. I’m also doing a collab with Cash Street Author in 2015.

How do you feel about the current state of Urban Fiction? Do you think it has become over saturated with too many writers with not enough experience?

The state of urban fiction has been this way for a minute. Yes, everybody and their mama is writing a book. But to say people don’t have enough experience… the veteran authors were new authors at one time. If you don’t get out there and let your pen do the talking how will you know what you can do…? In others words your work will speak for itself. If it’s good, or wonderful. If not, then go back to the drawing board. Or, in most cases nowadays the key board. If it’s something you aspire to do… DON’T GIVE UP!

What authors have influenced you on your path of success?

Many authors have been influential in my journey. Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Zora Neale Hurston were inspirational in encouraging my reading interest., Sistah Souljah, Terri McMillan sparked the fire and Wahida Clark made a sistah a believer. After reading her book I said “I can do this!” I also have the utmost respect and love for all of the authors who are in SLYCE THE BOOK CLUB, they keep me motivated!!!

Do you have any last words for the fans of urban lit, or would you like to cuss me out?

My last were to the fans of urban lit or any genre, STAY FOCUS ON YOUR DREAM, BE TRUE TO YOURSELF AND ALWAYS, ALWAYS “KEEP GOD FIRST”!!!:-You can join Marily “OG” Brown by clicking Here.
