“In interviews, one of the most difficult questions I’ve been asked is, ‘What genre are your novels?’ because honestly, I never write with any particular style in mind. I enjoy blending styles and mashing different genres together in interesting ways. Basically, I pen whatever is in my heart and soul. However, if I had to describe my style I would use musical terms and say that I write Urban, Hip-Hop, fiction with the rhythm of Reggae that crashed into Heavy Metal and then began to bleed Neo Soul. I write Alternative Urban Fiction.”
One of the things I'm most proud of is how my children look at me with pride because I'm accomplishing my goals and doing the things I set out to do with my career. They recognize and respect my passion. I write constantly and I already have the titles & plots lined up for my next 92 novels. This is what I do and I'm just trying to let the rest of the world know this. My ambition is to become as legendary as some of the writers I admire. I believe that a GOOD writer pulls you into their story. A GREAT writer makes the world around you fall away as you read. The LEGENDARY writers tell stories that become a part of you and linger long after you've read the last line of the last chapter. It was once said that, the pen is mightier than the sword. I say to my fellow AUTHORS: Let's advance our craft until it's mightier than guns, grenades, bullets & nuclear bombs. If not, then put your pen down and fall back. Those of us who are serious about this will run you over as if we were riding in tanks.” – Keith Kareem Williams

This collection of writings by Keith Williams is like eating one piece of your favorite candy at a time as you slowly enjoy the explosion of flavors it sets off in your mouth. Each piece as good or better than the last.
I have to say its also a bit of a tease when I would rather be reading another full novel by this talented writer, but how can I complain- I enjoyed it.

In this book you get to know the author a little better on different level. He gives some testimonies on how he arrived at this point. If you really listen to the words you will see he is truly passionate about what he does and why he does it. He will make you laugh, make you go into to deep thought about yourself and your journey, even finding yourself somewhat convicted.

Enter into the world of Author Keith Kareem Williams. Mr. Williams takes his readers into his mind's eye as he is in the process of writing. In this book brings to the light deepest thoughts, craziest comparisons, and great quotes that you can use in your everyday living. The author gives you a look into his daily life from his career, his family, and a little feel of his writing style. I cant say much about this book because it is so easy to give away.
I have to say that this was a very different read from other's books that I have read in the past. It was a nice nugget to go into a mind of the author. I never read a book that has first a crazy title that makes you think twice and also that is that intimate from an African American author. With short chapters and great poetry this makes a quick read for any reader that is on the go.
