Summary: A Supernatural Thriller!
Review: I bought this book directly from the author, Kimile Aczon, who was gracious enough to send me an autographed copy. I read the book as soon as I opened the package, stopping only for food water and that kinda thing. I loved it! Page turner, enthralling, it draws you in! I was doubly pleased when I learned the significance of the letters "B-J". I strongly urge you to read this book if for no other reason than to treat yourself to a compelling novel. the only problem i had with the book is it was too short. i look forward to more of your work, Kimile! when reading, keep in mind that Satan is out there but Jesus has his number. he's already been defeated! Glory be to God!

Summary: A Fast-Paced, suspensefully horrific tale...get it now!
Review: I have to say right up front that normally I do not do horror or supernatural novels. Why you might ask? Because I'm a 'fraidy cat, plain and simple. That, and I've never been able to let my mind go and actually consider the descriptions and tales they are trying to tell.However, BJ, written by Kimile Aczon, hooked me in once I read the back cover. In short description, BJ is about seven people, whose lives are forever changed by one event; the pregnancy of one of the main character, Denise Johnson. BJ is fiercest roller coaster into hell that you will find out there. Aczon so vividly describes macabre scenes that will have your imagination set on FEAR and have your mind racing to figure out what dastardly deed will take place next. Good and Evil have never fought to viciously. Aczon does a wonderful job in enabling the reader to follow coherently all seven characters - both individually, as well as collectively - as they blindlessly journey towards the cataclysmic birth of Denise's child, and the climactic ending that results from it. If you are a lover of horror novels, of supernatural novels, then BJ is a definite must-have in your collection, so pick it up today by clicking on the title above. Shonell Bacon......

Summary: The devil is always there
Review: I loved that book because it is a very pertinent and relevant vision of the Black world nowadays, thirty years after the ghetto uprisings and twenty years after the Black Panthers. It is centered on women and that is good, because these women are not bitter and revengeful against some male world. And I love the way the Christian supernatural element came into the picture halfway between fantastique or horror stories, and any religious righteous blabla. Satan is a real being because he comes from the deepest layers of our evil side. And that evil side of ours is a lot darker than anyone can ever imagine, especially when it takes the bright color of righteous bigotry.

Summary: Good story, typos put me off some
Review: Kimile Aczon knows which buttons to push to project feelings of terror and suspense, and she does this well in BJ. The characterization and dialogue in the book is real, especially as each character is introduced: it was easy to understand the depth of pain Donald Hemingway and Wilda Elvers, for example, had harbored over the years and how their own demons tried to take advantage of these weaknesses and attempt to destroy them. There is a good play between good and evil in this story. This said, however, I must point out a few things: 1) there are a few instances of explicit sexual scenes, which I usually gloss over when reading (I'm quite the prude these days), so bear this in mind before you hand this book to a minor; 2) one thing that nearly kept me from enjoying the book was the number of typographical errors, as well as the occasional spelling error (a restaurant, for example, is described in the book as "sheik" instead of "chic.") I imagine Upublish.com needs to check and recheck before they go to press.

Summary: you would never know that BJ is one of those rarest of books
Review: LISA DuMOND, SF SITE, ME-VIEWS To look at the cover, you would never know that BJ is one of those rarest of books. What you hold in yo ur hand is a horror story that is strong on plot and character development. You have found a book that reaches out to every reader with a feeling of community and family. And, in a genre dominated by white, male authors, it is a momentous debut for a talented African-American woman. Most important: it is a damn good read. With a subtle message. Something happened at 12:42 p.m., on the 6th of September. Actually, many things happened and life changed forever for some people at that exact instant. Denise and Wesley Johnson have just become pregnant, at possibly the worst time; the Johnson¹s finances have hit bottom and another mouth to feed isn¹t going to make things easier. Especially, a mouth that Denise is not even convinced she wants. Living in the projects of King¹s Mansion is not where they had planned to be at this point, but just being there is going to bring them closer to some others who were affected on that September Day. Just a few streets down, Mrs. Wilda Elvers (one of the most interesting and appealing characters to come along in many years) is not having such an easy time, either. When her tired, old heart stopped at that moment, though, she gained something astonishing: the lost sight in her eye and a sight that reaches out to other places, other minds. For more than a year, Troy Shadale has not uttered a word, not since witnessing the brutal slaying of his mother on the street. But, on that September afternoon, he receives a vision and the return of his speech. There is Father Ulimwengu, who will travel from Africa to play his part in the drama. A ³John Doe² by the name of Donald Hemmingway will regain his sanity and awaken from acoma to search for King¹s Mansion. Nurse Vera Hicks will walk away from her safe life to join the quest. But, there is a more sinister traveler on its way, stopping at nothing to thwart the others¹ plans. Along the way, Aczon mixes in plenty of nightmarish episodes, some gory moments, and just the right, natural measure of love and lust. The mixture adds up to a believable, tense tale of good versus evil. And, without making too clean-cut a distinction between the extremes; everyone in the book has their share of sweetness and sour. Well, not everyone; the mysterious traveler is a terrifying embodiment of evil, with a talent for spreading that around. But, the deepest impact of BJ; is in its loving portrayal of characters. To read this book is to wish to have people like these in your life, and to want to protect them from a world that doesn¹t always ³mean well.² A hell of a story, by a born storyteller -- it¹s one of those books that remind you just how priceless the gift of reading is. And how precious we all are.

Summary: A Real Page Turner
Review: Reading "BJ" was a thrill a page. It had some truly frightening moments. The author did an excellent job of bringing all the characters together. If you believe in the ancient struggle between good and evil, this book brings that struggle to light as you read to discover "BJ".
