Sometimes Brooklyn, Mostly Mars Volume 2
It was only after I sat down one evening and started reading through all of my journals that I realized I had been writing “Sometimes Brooklyn, Mostly Mars Volume 2” since the day I released Volume 1 in the summer of 2011. Five years have passed, the world has changed and I’d like to think that I’ve changed a bit too. My readers often ask me questions about life, my personal experiences and are always curious about where my inspiration comes from. Just like in Volume 1, this book will answer many of those questions as I take you on another short ride through my life. My hopes, dreams, pain and love are all inked on these pages. It gets trippy inside my mind sometimes.

About the author
Keith Kareem Williams
36 books55 followersKeith Kareem Williams is the author of over 20 books & 7 screenplays. He still resides in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York where he delicately balances his time between his responsibilities as a single father as well as the challenges of being a full-time author.
“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

"Without art and literature that stirs human emotions, we wouldn't realize how connected and similar we are..."
Keith Williams has captured so many truths that I can relate to within the pages of thoughts; some random, some not; he shares with his readers in Volume II. I found so many good morsels of thought expressed in ways that resonated with thoughts of my own. It somehow validates ones own thoughts to read them in a kind of memoir fashion. You realize you are not alone in thinking some things or questioning some things.
I believe readers who are also thinkers will really enjoy this volume. Followers and fans will also enjoy seeing a bit deeper into Williams mind.
I found the book was well suited to a few pages at a time with some contemplation on certain passages.
