Very well written Kudos to you! "Keepin It Tight" the title within itself has a meaning and I liked the way you added it in here and there with my favorite character Grandma Janie. I think you did an excellent job with keeping it real especially in relationships. "Keepin It Tight" is a lesson for anyone who has let out siders into the inside of their relationship because they did not do what "Keep It Tight!" Now Neil was unbelieveable he could not see throu Amanda's skeems, lol just like a woman to skeem and she was good at it. But my favorite came to the rescue Grandma Janie. The novel held my attention! and I am not just saying that because of who you are. I have recommended it to friends. I also like the "Cosby" touch. Most stories I read are URBAN STREET and I liked that your characters were employed in corporate America showing that us Black folks have drive and ambition like anyone else. LadyTEE One of your fans!

I don't remember if I sent you an email about your book "Keepin It Tight," that book is off the chain! I was so involved in that book that I read it in a couple of days! I would have finished it in one day but I am taking on-line courses and had to meet for some classes on-line time. I hope the new one coming out is just as good. I am still trying to complete my bachelors degree, so I just needed to take a break from studying and I couldn't put the book down! My compliments to you is to let God keep on using you. You will succeed, and I am getting your name out here in O-Town (Central Florida including Orlando, and Virginia Beach with my family. Take care and let God continue to bless you.

Hi Shani, I'm honored to be a part of this group, especially since it was founded by such an astounding Young Sister as you. I remember even in your childhood days you always were a writer. You wrote in that little Diary of yours every day. Writing and reading have always been a passion of yours and it's great to see the positive energy you have pioneered toward the same. I definitely agree with you that we Sisters in the South need to make that effort to unify the South. There is no point in racism or segregation in this day and age. Congratulations to you for making the first move. Twiggy Joanna Oryang Sisters Reading In The South Member

Keepin' It Tight was an intense read. The pacing of the story allowed me to become engrossed in the character's lives. The author did a great job of playing with my emotions. She developed characters that were realistic, provided great imagery and just enough suspense to keep me glued to the pages. Readers who love storylines that tug at heartstrings will love this novel. I also recommend Keepin' It Tight to those who enjoy chick lit. Reviewed by Darnetta Frazier APOOO BookClub

Two thumbs up to author Shani Greene-Dowdell on her debut novel! Keepin' It Tight was kept tight until the last punctuation mark! I love the realness in this fictional story. Lela and Neil could very well be the people next door. And Amanda...let's hope she's the crazy woman who stays on her meds! Great job, Shani! Southern Girl, reading is what I love! Satisfied Reader
