Author Cydney Rax completes her Reeves Sister’s Fictional Series

By The Rax Files

Have you checked out the Reeves Sisters Series?

To be honest, writing a series is very challenging. You have to remember a lot of details. You have to make sure your story line keeps flowing. You must have a beginning, a middle and a compelling ending.

The Reeves Sisters Series is the second fictional series I’ve ever written. I remember many years ago, when these five women first popped into my creative mind. The characters were loud, colorful, vibrant, and seemed oh so real to me. Even though I was working on other books, the Reeves Sisters continued to haunt me. To this day I can hear the voices of Alita, Burgundy, Coco, Dru and Elyse. I love these women and I hope you have read and connected with the story lines.

Have you checked out any of the books? I would recommend that you read them in order.

Here are the novels in order:

  1. A Sister’s Secret
  2. A Sister’s Survival
  3. A Sister’s Power

If you enjoy contemporary fiction about family, love, struggle, women, romance, marriage, secrets, and relationships, you should pick up my books. Order today. Excerpts are available via Google Books. Read a sample. Place an order for the ebook, audiobook, or large print library edition.

More About A SISTER’S POWER

For the five Reeves women, nothing is more important than keeping their family bond tight and their communication flowing. But honesty isn’t so clear cut when it could blow up everything they’ve fought to build . . .

Already reeling from betrayal, middle sister Coco is fed up with lies—including her own. If she has her way, someone else’s neck needs to be on the line for a change. But soon, Coco’s in deep trouble with the law, her future hanging in the balance . . . Now the only thing that can save her is revealing one last devastating truth.

Struggling with unthinkable loss, Coco’s sister, Burgundy, finds comfort in a colleague’s arms. But her
eight-year-old daughter wants no part of him. She wants the life she enjoyed when her father was alive. As Burgundy fights to move on from the shocking tragedy of her marriage, she seeks a silver lining. And against all odds, she wants herself and all her sisters to win. In spite of secrets, lies, deception, and hurt, she will do whatever it takes to support and empower her family. Even if it means risking everything that’s important to her.

Now between revenge, grief, and forgiveness, these siblings will challenge themselves—and all they think they know about each other—in a showdown that may leave them united—or cause them to forever fall apart . . .

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.
