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.

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


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.
