Two Kinds of Color

[Deborah Kennedy]

I'm the author of "Two Kinds of Color."   It's the compelling story of a mother's love and sacrifice for her racially divided children.  Two of them are white; two of them black, raised in a hustler's brutal environment on the South Side of Chicago.  There are some Kindle reviews. If you get a chance to read it, please post your comments.  

Here are just some of the reviews:

Thank you Deborah Kennedy for introducing me to the kind of book I usually wouldn't read! Once started it was hard to put down! It is a must read in my opinion! The characters are real and the book covers all aspects of life. I was blown away by the ending!! I too like others am looking forward to your next book!--KINDLE REVIEW

OMG! I really couldn't put this book down! Congratulations to Deborah Kennedy on this incredible read! Thank you for introducing me to your masterpiece! I mean it! What a GREAT GIFT for my friends who love a GREAT read! I am really looking forward to your next book. Please let it be sooner than later!--KINDLE REVIEW

This book is well written and a great story that everyone should get to read. The author's writing talents are impressive and straight to the point. I look forward to her next novel. Keep up the good work.--KINDLE REVIEW

Two Kinds of Color is an exceptionally beautifully written novel. The characters are compelling and believable and the message of love and sacrifice and true friendship is touching and unforgettable. I savored this book. It is not a book to be skimmed through but read thoughtfully and carefully. The ability of Ms. Kennedy to present her story with such insight and heart-felt emotion is remarkable. I read a great many books and, like most of us, have my favorite authors. I look forward to reading any other novel my newest favorite author writes. Thank you Ms. Kennedy. I enjoyed Two Kinds of Color very much.--AMAZON PAPERBACK REVIEW

Welcome to KindleBoards, Deborah, and congratulations on your book.

(If you've gotten this welcome before, it's just as a matter of housekeeping. We like to put a copy of the "welcome letter" in each book thread.  It doesn't mean you've done anything wrong, it just helps us know that you know the rules.)

A brief recap of our rules follows:

----We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Instructions are posted here.

--Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it; we ask that authors have only one thread per book and add to it when there is more information.  You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice).

--You are encouraged to respond to member comments and questions, but remember that you may only bump your thread (back-to-back posts by you) once every seven days.  Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then.

--We ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link.  Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead.

--Self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar; specifically, this means that you may not suggest your OWN book in Book Corner threads.   Our most successful authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows.  This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles!  Also, please note that putting link information in the body of your posts constitutes self promotion; please leave your links for your profile signature that will automatically appear on each post.

All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum.  Be sure to check it from time to time for the current guidelines and rules.

Oh, and one more thing:  be sure to check out the index threads at the top of the Book Bazaar. . . .there are details there about how you can be listed so that our readers can find you.  And there are threads at the top of the Writer's Cafe with further information on promotional opportunities here at KindleBoards

Thanks for being part of our little community!  Feel free to send us a PM if you have any questions.

Hi and welcome. Your book sounds very interesting. And wasn't it nice of the moderators to post a link to your book? They helped me a great deal when I embarrassed myself trying to put in a link.

If I've offended anyone with my email posts I sincerely apologize.  I'm new in this game of self-publishing and I guess I'm learning as I go along.  I was only trying to find the right place to market my work.  Race has never been an issue with me.  I grew up on the South Side of Chicago under some of the worst circumstances.  I have four white siblings and three who are black including myself.  Though the book is fiction it is based on some true characters.  I show no indifference in the book, and thought that the subject matter would be interesting for Kindle readers.  I am not a spammer and will never market my book on this site if that is what some believe I am.  Someone said I created a lot of angry people on this site, anger is something I try to avoid.  Someone said I have to take the consequences for my actions, and I agree with him.  I've learned lessons here that I would probably not have learned otherwise.  Again, if I've offended anyone on this site please accept my apology. 

Always best regards,
Deborah Kennedy

Deborah,

I've merged your new post with your existing thread for the book in the Book Bazaar.  Please refer to the welcome message above as well as our Forum Decorum:  http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,36.0.html.

We welcome independent authors here and provide the Book Bazaar as a place for you all to get the word out.  But our members do not want to receive unsolicited email or PM's from authors.  Many do consider that to be Spam.  If you spend some time here you will likely find, as many of our member authors do, that the absolute best way to get folks to give your book a try is to be an active member by participating in discussions throughout KindleBoards.

Sounds interesting, Deborah.
You might put up more information here. I went to your Web site and what I read there really grabbed my attention.
Also nice to know it's in Print as well as KINDLE (some folks haven't gotten onboard the e- revolution  )

Just wanted to tell everyone that there are more Kindle reviews!  I hope you get a chance to take a look, and read a sample while you're there.

Here is another Kindle review:

At first, I was intimidated by the storyline. I don't usually read books that open up the part of me that gets so angry, sad or scared for the characters. When I read the sample, something clicked... and I had to finish the story, I had to find out everything that happened. I'm so glad I did! What a masterpiece! I felt that I could hear the author's own voice narrating the vivid images. You just have to experience it for yourself, and feel for the characters, because they could be anyone you walk past on the street, on any given day. We all have our stories deep inside us, don't we?--KINDLE REVIEW
