Author Cydney Rax Online Video Book Talk by The Tea

By The Rax Files No Comments

Revenge-of-the-MistressOne very unique thing that has happened since the release of REVENGE OF THE MISTRESS is the wonderful experience of having the book being discussed by The Tea. This is a group of four women who select a book to read and then discuss various topics related to the book in front of a studio audience.

I absolutely enjoyed seeing the video production. I think you may enjoy it as well. Here’s the link:

Revenge of the Mistress

In addition, check out the author interview that was produced by B Creative / Digital Media. If you are an aspiring author, this info may inspire you.

That entire situation was a lot of fun. Let me know what you think.

Praise for Cydney Rax’s Love & Revenge Series

By The Rax Files No Comments

My Married Boyfriend

As Rax (If Your Wife Only Knew, 2016) continues her Love & Revenge series, she applies karma to these characters in surprising ways as rivals find ways to bond. At times Nicole and Rashad fall into stereotypes, but Rax’s strength is in showing growth, especially among her sympathetic female characters, and this tightly written soap opera rises above others in the genre. Fans of Kimberla Lawson Roby may enjoy this series.
– Booklist Reviews

…Rax knows how to create baby momma drama…readers hooked on the first two books will eagerly await the final volume, Revenge of the Mistress, due February 2017.

Love and Revenge Novel Book 1

Love and Revenge Novel Book 1


If Your Wife Only Knew

Secrets, scandal, betrayal and revenge–there are no clean hands in the first book of this saga. Every one of the characters has a false sense of entitlement, and they are so, so wrong. A wild ride, this story is engrossing, and I can’t wait for the sequels.

– Romantic Times Book Reviews

Each turn in the plot makes things painfully worse in this soap-opera drama with plenty of surprises. The ending hints at even darker twists for the next installment in the new Love & Revenge series. Rax brings humor to extreme and painful situations, keeping readers glued to the page.
– Booklist Reviews

…quite a bit of juicy sex, and protagonists who concoct lies, cheat, and are totally selfish. A good fit for soap opera fans.

If Your Wife Only Knew by Cydney Rax

By The Rax Files No Comments

I’m just popping in to say how very excited I am to find out that so many libraries across the U.S. and even in some parts of the world, have included my latest novel IF YOUR WIFE ONLY KNEW as part of their library collection. This is a dream come true. It seems like yesterday I would visit Houston area libraries and would read other books written by African American writers. Folks like E. Lynn Harris, Omar Tyree, Yolanda Joe, Marita Golden, Gloria Naylor, and so many others. They inspired me. And the reference books about writing and the publishing industry taught me.

So thanks to the hundreds of libraries that have purchased the book. And to the readers who are checking out the novel. Make sure and post your comments. You may contact me via my website www.cydneyrax.com or post on any online review site.

Another thing that I’m happy about are all the new readers that are discovering my works. Yes! That is an author’s dream. I can tell I have a brand new audience of folks that are getting to know my storylines and characters. Excellent and encouraging info.

BTW, I will be headed to a branch of the Houston Public Library on Feb. 26 at 2pm. Here is the info. Come out and see me at their Meet the Author event.
