Banks from her days as the lead singer with the dynamic group Graham Central Station. Or, you might have sung along with her when she later appeared with the group, Rose Royce.

Well, Ms. Banks has a pleasant surprise in store for lovers of poetry and short stories with her debut piece of literary work.

In “A Wednesday Knight Affair,” readers will get a lesson in life as Wednesday Knight, the daughter of Tuesday candidly talks about her life, her family, her loves and the man “ who made her realize that she “deserved to be adored and respected.”

Then Choc Let takes readers into the entertainment world, sharing her experiences in the entertainment industry. Her “pull no punches” approach leads right into a sequel, scheduled to appear in her next release, “Deja View,” later this year.

Ms. Banks has a way with words and she introduces readers to a woman who loves and wants to be love—an expression she displays in her writings.

From “Honey Daddy” to “I Don’t Play That,” her poetry reminds you of the lyrics of R&B sensation Teena Marie’s songs, where she shares her innermost thoughts and desires.

Women especially will identify with the messages in Ms. Banks’ works. And if the male readers are honest, they too will understand the messages.

Ms. Banks speaks from experience and while experience is the best teacher; some can learn just from reading her words!
