Urban Reviews: Tell us about And Even If I Did.
Kisha Green:
And Even If I Did tells a story of three friends who each are on their own road to self discovery while on this journey they realize that the people that they thought would be there and have their backs don't. But on a more personal level it was a therapeutic experience for myself since I had recently loss my mom so And Even If I Did allowed me to address some of my own issues I had.

Urban Reviews: And Even If I Did featured characters who where members of The Five Percenters. Why did you decide to incorporate this into the novel?
Kisha Green:
Well growing up during my teen years The Five Percenters was like the latest fad in my neighborhood. I even found myself intrigued wanting to belong to this certain "clique" of individuals, So I felt it was only right to mention it since the book is based upon some true life experiences.

Urban Reviews: What made you want to self-publish your book?
Kisha Green:
I just wanted to be in control of my novel without anyone telling me to change ANYTHING! I just had a story I wanted to tell.

Urban Reviews: What have you learned about the book industry so far?
Kisha Green:
That it is really hard out there stepping out there into the literary world since no one knows who Kisha Green is, so you have to network and educate yourself on the industry as well as be cautious of the people you allow to "help" you.

Urban Reviews: Any upcoming projects?
Kisha Green:
Yes, I am working on two novels called DotComDiva and The Decisions We Make.

Urban Reviews: You also run your own website as well as write for other websites. Can you tell us about these online ventures?
Kisha Green:
Yes, I have two monthly columns...one for my online ministry I belong to called Women on the Road of Deliverance and a new up-and-coming website for women called Mahogany Butterfly - This & That Tidbits as well as various other sites. I simply enjoy writing and try to do it each and every opportunity that I can.

Urban Reviews: Is there anything about the book industry that you know now that you wish you knew before?
Kisha Green:
Everyone doesn't have your best interest at heart.

Urban Reviews: Who are some of your favorite authors or books?
Kisha Green:
My favorites are J. California Cooper, E. Lynn Harris, VC Andrews, Jackie Collins, Stephen King, Terry McMillan, Ntozake Shange to name a few...I am an avid reader and there are so many talented authors out there.

Urban Reviews: Is it difficult balancing your writing career and everyday life?
Kisha Green:
LOL...well yes...I mean for all the mothers out there they already know we are already multi-taskers but for me it can be difficult but then at times it really just flows. I work full time and am a married mother of three and expecting another within the next three weeks so at times I am indeed running through the house like a mad woman, but once I regain my sanity I write...That is my therapy...That and my Bible!

Urban Reviews: What do you want people to know most about you?
Kisha Green:
I am a wife/mother/sister/aunt/friend and a author and a firm believer of "If God brings me to it...He will bring me through it!"
