If You Love Me by Kimberly Brown
“Of all human weaknesses, obsession is the most dangerous.”
Evenie Lewis knows this all too well. A case of mistaken identity has stolen ten years of her life. When the opportunity arises, Evenie jumps at the chance to escape once and for all. Clueless to her surroundings, she sets out to find her way back home with dreams of reuniting with her family being her motivation. Unbeknownst to her, life as she knew it has changed.
Tyrion Lewis has lost the love of his life. A routine trip to the grocery store left him a heartbroken, single father to a six-month-old little girl. The hope that his wife would be returned to him slowly begins to die. Ten years later, he’s found new hope for a happy future. That is, until he gets the call that his beloved has been found. High off emotions, Tyrion races to bring his wife home. In all the excitement, he forgets one very crucial detail.
Familiar spaces breed familiar feelings, though life for them is anything but what it used to be. What happens when a happy homecoming is thwarted by forces meant to keep the once-loving couple apart for good? Will Evenie and Tyrion get their happy ending, or was she better off never being found?
| Soignée Intimate Conversation with Kimberly Brown |
| Kimberly Brown is a South Carolina-born and raised author of contemporary/urban romance and women’s fiction. She strives to create stories that readers can visualize in their heads as the pages turn. Writing has been a part of her journey since a young age, but really became a focal point during her high school years. With the support of her classmates, she began sharing her love of words with others. In 2019, she took her first step towards becoming a serious writer with self-publishing. August of 2021, she made her BLP debut and is continuing to grow her catalog. With a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from South Carolina State University, Kimberly loves to incorporate mental health into her writings as she feels it is not talked about or addressed enough within the African American community. SLM: When did you first realize you wanted to be a published author? I began writing poetry when I was in sixth grade. In 2019, I self-published my first book without knowing much about the process. I decided SLM: If you had to describe yourself as a writer in three words, what would they be? Passionate. Relatable. Unapologetic (I’m not afraid to take you there within the story) SLM: Introduce us to your most recent work. What is the key message in the book? My most recent book is Until The Ink Dries, which I co-wrote with my best friend and fellow author, Iesha Bree. The key theme of this book is never settling, learning that you are enough just as you are for the person that truly deserves you, and sometimes love is completely unexpected. SLM: What are the most important elements of good writing? I would say great character development, a strong plot/plot development, relatable characters, knowledge of the subject matter, and pacing. SLM: Do you outline, plot, and plan, or is your writing more organic? My writing is organic in the sense that I don’t outline. I’m what they call a pantser. In other words, I make up the story as I go. I love not knowing what is going to happen from one scene to the next. Sometimes the things that shock the readers shock me as well! It gives me a certain level of surprise. SLM: Can you share some ways that readers can support you? Like and share content. Visit my website for your paperback needs. Tell a friend to tell a friend to read a Kimberly Brown book! SLM: What other projects are you working on at present? Currently, I’m working on books 4, 5, and 6 of my Dillinger Chronicles Series. I also have a few special projects in the works that I can’t wait to share with my readers! SLM: How can readers discover more about you and your work? Readers can follow me on social media, join my mailing list, or my readers’ group. All books are available on Amazon in e-book form and are on Kindle Unlimited. |
