The 2008 London Book Festival selected the winners for its annual program celebrating books that deserve greater recognition from the international publishing community. A panel of book industry experts judged published, self-published and independent publisher non-fiction, fiction, children’s books, poetry, art/photography, teenage, how-to, audio/spoken word, comics/graphic novels, e-books, genre-based, science fiction, romance and biography/autobiographical works.
The Xlibris published book, “The Street Life Series: Is It Passion or Revenge?” by Kevin Weeks, was selected for its story-telling ability of the author and the potential of the work to win wider recognition from the international publishing community.
In “Is It Passion or Revenge?,” the story revolves around a mysterious assassin named The Paradox, who is on a mission to murder male exotic dancers. A twist in the plot links main character Teco Jackson with a personal vendetta that stretches from Washington, D.C. all the way back to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The enigma poses a big challenge for quick witted female Detective Hanae Troop to unravel and identify the real motive behind the killings – passion or revenge.
This novel is also an award-winning finalist in the National Best Books 2008 Awards (usabooknews.com). Library Journal Book Reviewer Rollie Welch wrote, “Weeks’ second entry in his self-published ‘Street Life’ series (after Is It Suicide or Murder?) mixes gritty street-lit action with hints of a police procedural that will appeal to both urban fiction fans and readers of African American mysteries.”
About the Author and Book Series
Also, a 2007 New York Book Festival Award winner, Kevin M. Weeks is an African American writer and philanthropist. Weeks pens The Street Life Series®, which chronicles the life of main character Teco Jackson. Travel across the globe with Teco and see how he responds as crime happens all around him.
Because Kevin M. Weeks grew up on the rough side of West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, his goal is to help at-risk teenagers who age-out of foster care. Therefore, book proceeds benefit the Stay off The Streets Fund as part of the American Endowment Foundation.
Xlibris has published books for more than a decade with the same CEO, John Feldcamp, at the helm. What differentiates Xlibris, who has over 20,000 titles now in print for over 15,000 authors? Kevin M. Weeks states, “I see Xlibris as a business partner with full service publishing, marketing, and website offerings. I count on Xlibris’ extensive experience, because they provide dependable, long-term, individualized support throughout the entire publishing process. My current plan is to remain with Xlibris until the book series is picked up by a major traditional publishing company.”
