Message From The Author …..
Dominique Wilkins A/k/a Dee Double U,
I am pleased to present you with various books, in the Contemporary Christian and inspirational fiction genre. These books are all written in and around everyday life events.
You or someone that you may know are guaranteed to identify with these characters. These books are all written for you to not only enjoy the books as you revisit these familiar scenes and activities, but to receive the messages at the end. The majority of the books are short, so that the message will not be lost while your entertainment need is met without taking a large portion of your time.
You may question, who authorized me to deliver messages to anyone?
The answer is simple. I have no authority by the city, state or country to pass judgement or advice. I am simply a Chicagoan, who has often shared your stories or even lived these lifestyles as well. As an adult, with a past, I've been blessed to be able to tap into my inner worth and see the error of these ways and now, I am simply doing what someone did for me: paying it forward.
With stories, that I write for you to love! So, enjoy and please leave your review where you got your copy. If you have family or a friend who has not read one of my titles, feel free to suggest one that is possibly geared to the message THEY need to get. Remember, you can also pass the message, simply by sharing the book!
Peace and Blessings to your homes!
THE GOODIE MOBB'S REVIEWS: (Not all, but a few)
4.0 out of 5 stars A very nice little story for the entire family., September 20, 2012
By "Sunday Awakening" by KevaD "Out of t... (Freeport, IL)
This review is from: God Loves You (Kindle Edition) I enjoyed this childrens book. Yes,
the editing could be better, but sometimes minor writing infractions deserve to be shoved into
the background so readers can focus on the true purpose of the book. In this case, that
purpose is education at a level designed for three to six year olds. To that end, the
author succeeded, and then some. Wonderful message both about ADHD and God in
our lives, told in a manner we all can share as a family. Well done.
THERESA IN WONDERLAND REVIEW
4.0 out of 5 stars "Life happens so make lemonade" September 1, 2012
By Readers Paradise VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition
Theresa was jumped on her way from school, as she recounts the story we meet Lola who
started a fight with Theresa and slashed her face. With the fight no longer fair Tina a bystander
jumps in to defend Theresa. She gets the knife out of Lola's hand and restrains her before she
can do any more damage. The end results are a slash across Theresa's face, Lola being caught
up in Tina's half nelson and life moving on forty-five years into the future.
Theresa is married to her husband Joe and they have children, life is good. But if you are living
life and not paying attention to life sometime things go BUMP so quickly we don't see it coming,
and that was the beginning of the end for Theresa, or was it the beginning?
As the years went by Theresa was able to minimize her scar physically and emotionally and not
dwell on that day anymore. The loyalty Theresa feels towards Tina for helping her forty five
years ago is commendable but a little misplaced, as time moves forward Theresa finds out just
how much.
This short story had several messages but I believe the central theme is to be careful of sheep
in wolves clothing. One tragedy set the stage for several messages to be heard loud and clear.
1) Stay focused of the task at hand
2) A car is a no cell phone zone
3) Don't leave school with strangers
4) And lastly don't talk to strangers
When Theresa finally wakes from her wonderland, life is not the same. What was once up is
now down. Can she find any good out of the tragedies in front and behind her?
Wilkins short story offers a good number of characters which allows for a fluid read. This
personal expression from Wilkins is urban fiction splashed with inspirational undertones. I had a
good time reading and getting to know Theresa out and in a wonderland we all have visited.

4.0 out of 5 stars Choices, Chances, Consequences and Changes, July 11, 2012
By TeeTyme
This review is from: Mother In-Law Guilty of Murder (Kindle Edition)
This was a different take on a very real and living abomination - ABUSE. While the story had me
crossed up at times, I had to keep reading, just to see how the Mother In Law performed the
murder....but as I kept reading, it became clear that BP, with all his character reflecting names
had separation and boundary issues. Ryan on the other hand represent many females who
continuously give chance after chance to people and situations that don't deserve them. I can
understand and relate to that concept. You want to believe at some point one of those chances
will manifest itself into what it is suppose to be - another opportunity to do and get it right. The
choices we made yesterday, we make today and will make tomorrow, have consequences, and
until the Ryan's of this world recognize that some chances need to be changes,for the Ryan's
and not the BP's, the BP's of this world, along with their Mega Witches, will still be able to
commit murder!
I appreciated the spiritual affirmation and positive reinforcement conclusion Ms. Wilkins does at
the end. "Don't waste your self on someone who is not worthy of you. You are special. You are
important and God does not want....."

MOTHER IN-LAW GUILTY OF MURDER REVIEW
4.0 out of 5 stars Learn from your mistakes, June 20, 2012
By Readers Paradise "Book Club"
This review is from: Mother In-Law Guilty of Murder (Paperback)
Ryan is a women who truly has made MANY mistakes in her life. Her idea about love and what
it looks like is NOT good, but she continues on the same path with many different men. I
couldn't stand her, she was so stupid I wanted to scream, but this author was creative in
showing us women how stupidity is not permanant, that when we KNOW better we should be
doing better.
This book is an inspiration to women everywhere and to pull from Ryan's mistakes would be a
thing. I must admit as much as Ryan got on my nerves she was also one of my favorite
characters.
I enjoyed how the author interjected conversations directly into the story specifically for the
reader. Sometimes the interjections would help clarify a future reaction, so instead of having to
wastes words on a reaction she just added it right into the story. At times it felt like I was reading
a comdey murder mystery.
MOTHER IN-LAW GUILTY OF MURDER REVIEW
5.0 out of 5 stars A different twist in writing : ), June 5, 2012
By Diane Simmons
This review is from: Mother
In-Law Guilty of Murder (Paperback)I was given this novel by
the author herself and was pleased. It definitely started off good and ended
just as well. The plot was well written as well as the Chapters beginning a new
segment of information. I like how she wrote about a woman who has made many
mistakes in life and finally woke up. I also like how she inspired women to take
lessons from the life of the character while encouraging them to not make the
same mistakes.
I loved the attitudes of each character as they each were
written succesfully. My favorite is Ryan and the Wicked Witch. She was a trip.
Made me want to slap her personally. While reading this novel I felt strongly
connected to some of the scenes displayed as well as felt the pain within each
trial.
I also was given the priveledge to speak to the author and get
questions answered and felt very respected. She was patient and answered each
one without feeling over whelmed or irritated. Mrs. Wilkins is a very kind
person and I am glad to have been given the honor to read her book.
You should read it too!

4.0 out of 5 stars You won't regret this addition to your library, May 21, 2012
By JaeRenee'
This review is from: Mother In-Law Guilty of Murder (Paperback)Wow, where do I start?
Well, to get used to the point of view that the story was being told in was a
bit of an adjustment for me. (definitely loved it) It allowed me to look at
things on the outside looking in which is what we typically do as readers. I
really didn't know what to expect from the book but I am so grateful that you
gave me the opportunity to read it. Mother In-Law Guilty was a welcomed change
of pace to regular "urban fiction" with a serious tone to it complete with a
message to any and all females that have or are going through life's situations.
There was a story with real life situations & heartfelt lessons. You
definitely spoke to me with your words especially in the ending pages. Sometimes
you just have to love yourself enough to let go and move on. Push on to
something better & brighter for your future and live with no regrets even
when things get rough.

5.0 out of 5 stars great read!, May 7, 2012
By DStar
This review is from: Mother In-Law Guilty of Murder
(Kindle Edition)The author began this book very strong and ended it
the same way I was very impressed. I really like when authors foreshadow events
and add anecdotes to their writing, I find it gives it depth and more meaning.
This author has clearly spent a lot of time working on this book, and putting a
lot of imagination into developing an original story and characters. It's nice
to read a well thought out book for a change, even when I thought it was going
to go one way, I was completely mistaken!
I must say this book is very unique; it has a lot of different events and qualities. It will keep you
on the edge of your seat the entire time and when you finish reading it, there will be
a sad moment. I really enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to Dominique
Wilkins next adventure!
