XXXPleasures: Seductive Bliss
by Chris Mainor
3 of 5 Stars

Visualize the vignettes from a man with a mind for the sensual. Chris Mainor’s XXXPleasures: Seductive Bliss is a book full of scenarios where sex and seduction are the two main ingredients.

Eyone Williams, author of Secrets Never Die
(DC Bookdiva Publications)

Secrets Never Die is the first of a few novels that I have written that are based on true stories. I pride myself on writing real street fiction and urban tales.

The storyline for Secrets came from a female friend of mine that went through some very trying events in her life where she lost everything close to her and had to find a way to make it, living one day at a time in the D.C. streets.

The main character’s name is Niya, she young, smart, and at some times naïve. However, she finds herself caught up in a world where no one is to be trusted and even the one or two people she thinks she can trust turn out to be questionable. The weight of the world is on her shoulders as she is forced to take care of herself while trying to get her mother out of prison and find the person that murdered her sister.

Over all, this book is about a young girl growing into woman and learning everything the hard way along the way. No one is to be trusted freely.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Secrets Never Die?

Eyone Williams: Honestly, I have a friend that really went through most of the things that became the plot of this novel. The things that she told me Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Eyone Williams, author of Secrets Never Die
