Kimberly Beverly

About

My name is Kim Beverly and I am a new author that is very excited about my first book, "If Loving Two Is Wrong..." I am a Philadelphia native and I enjoy writing, whether it be a novel, songs or poems. I have a degree in Journalism from Penn State University. My musical roots include Frankie Beverly of Maze. Frankie has definitely been large influence because he is a product of what hard work and belief in your talent can net! My parents and family have always stood by me and that is a blessing when embarking on the journey of writing, publishing and marketing your book. I draw upon my various work experiences to help bring some validity to situations that I put in my books. I have had experience in law enforcement, social  work, military, in other words, if you can name it; I've probably tried it, with many exceptions of course! I have received good reviews on the book so far, folks are even asking about a sequel. I hope I have found a home in being an author that provokes thought as well as entertains!

Story Behind The Book

While on patrol one evening, I decided to start a story. I've always been an avid reader and wanted to see if I could create a story that would intrigue others the way I've been by other authors. So, I began writing a story based on a relationship between a man and a woman. As I wrote, the story began to formulate. I believe someone gave me an E. Lynne Harris book and it gave me the idea to add the twist of a woman discovering that she has feelings for another woman. However, I did not want to glamorize or treat the subject matter lightly. I wanted to make it a real situation that anyone could find themselves in and treat it as such. Funny thing, as I continued to write, the story just unfolded and that's why I give GOD the credit and glory for finishing this book! This book is not to encourage any type of lifestyle, but to depict a segment of reality and to do it in a way that many people might be able to relate with. Plus, there's a whole lot more, family, love, domestic violence and friendship are all a part of IF Loving Two Is Wrong...

When I first picked up the book, I didn't know how I would like it, but this book is REALLY good. Maybe because it shows how Kayla -- who never experienced female love before and was never even curious about the possibility -- actually begins to catch feelings for a woman, and how the affair blossoms from there. The story is great, and there's not a whole lot of pages on sex, but a lot about how relationships develop, fallapart, and perhaps become whole again. <br />Definitely a book I would recommend to any and everyone! <br /><br />If Loving Two is Wrong . . . grabs you by the soul from the first page and never lets go until the very end. Can't wait to read Kim Beverly's next novel so i can be captivated all over a again. A must read! --Leyton Wint, author of Prey For Love <br /><br />&quot;Romance, sex, and drama...If Loving Two Is Wrong has it all. A definite must read.&quot; - Karen E.
