"Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU!  I purchased "What's in it for me?" at Lambda Rising in DC during my visit over the July 4th weekend and never wanted to put it down.  The characters were incredible and you are correct, very much in the genre of early E. Lynn!  I hope there is a sequel in the making as we need to go further with Ron.  So many stories...PLEASE do not allow us to lose Ron!  Thank you for such a wonderful book."

Mickey Heller - Brooklyn, New York

"Cool book, and a great read.  Erotic, Humorous. Suspenseful, and even Heartbreaking, at times.  A fairly thick book, yet it's a quick read, because of the characters and how you are drawn into their world.  I'm a SGL MOC, and could relate to many things that the protagonist and his friends dealt with, but you need not be gay/bi to enjoy this book, you only need to enjoy a great story being told."

Bruh Luva - Houston, Texas

"A fantastic read!  I have enjoyed it from beginning to end.  I loved the main character, Ron and the positiveness he displayed.  I especially liked his integrity.  A superb job kudos to you Mr. Beckwith!  Looking forward to your next contribution!"

Abram - Germantown, Maryland

Joseph B - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"This was a great book, from the first page to the last!  The author made sure you connected to each character.  This is definitely an author to watch, cause he is on his way to the top!  Chris we are waiting for the next masterpiece!"

Charles Richardson - Oakland, California

"What's in it for me?: engrossing storylines involving spirituality, stong friendships and family bonds, plus steamy love and lustful scenes.  All bound into 439 fast-paced pages.  I expected adequate entertainment but enjoyed so much more."

Robert Lee - Duluth, Georgia

"Love the book, would like to read more of your Story.  Please let me know if you have any more coming soon.  It was a non-stop page turner.  Keep em coming!

William Jacobs - Odenton, Maryland

"I loved the book, it kept me up for a few days until I finished it. I can't wait to read his next offering. The twists and turns, the drama the suspense, boy was it fun to read. This book was like a great unplanned weekend when you don't know what you are going to do next but you know whatever it is it's going to be awesome!"

Tim - Washington, DC

"Yes indeed! The name of the book says it all. I felt if I put the book down the world was going to stop! The characters in the book were so real and the main character's scenes just made you feel like you were looking over the character's shoulder when you were reading the book page for page. Well done I say young man, well done!! Your friend for life CAM"

Cam - Atlanta, Georgia

"I received the book on Friday afternoon and finished it on Sunday afternoon!! An EXCEPTIONAL read!! I could not put it down for anything in the world! I actually became the cliche' "cuddle up with a good book"! The characters were nothing short of "familliar". I couldn't tear myself away! KUDOS to the author for giving me something that really kept my attention!! Thanks Chris....so when is the next book coming?"

Clifford Thornton - Portland, Oregon

Tony Dodson - Graham, North Carolina

"This book was a pleasure to read. I was so engaged from the moment I started reading it. I was so surprised that I finished it so quickly. I could not put it down because I did not want to miss anything that was happening. The characters were so real that so many of them seemed like people I have met somewhere in my own life's journey. I think you are the author that we have been waiting for to see publish something new and refreshing."

Steven - Los Angeles, California

"A 450 page literary roller coaster! Chris, I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed your book. Your writing is vivid and emotional! I'm recommending this book to all of my friends!"

Gary Simon - Oxford, Mississippi

“This story was a very amazing and nice story about relationships and love that happened to be among gay black men. There was no exploitation or sensationalism. I enjoyed the story, the writing, and found the characters to be real. I really enjoyed this and have recommended it to several friends, straight and gay.”

Ralph - Atlanta, Georgia

“This is a page-turning must-read for anybody! All I have to say is: YOU GOTTA READ IT! Chris, I am so impressed with your ability to create such detail and imagery. It really made it hard to believe that this is your first published endeavor. Keep up the good work, and please, PLEASE write a sequel to this, man! You made me laugh, cry, angry, and euphoric-all in one fell swoop. Nationwide alert: Guys-don't pass this one up. "What's in it for me?" is a true inspirational work of art!!”

Quinton - Atlanta, Georgia

“Christopher, I loved reading your book. It was soooo good, do you plan on anymore, I am sure you are...you have to be sure and let me know when the next one will be available. You have a great writing ability that drew me in and made me stay and even want more. I had a bit of separation anxiety as the story drew to a close, but excellent and completely enjoyable.”

John-Derek - Union City, Georgia

"The book is PHENOMENAL!! Very funny, unpredictable and entertaining. I am half way through the book and I laughed through most of it. Even though I am very busy, I have been making time to get through your 400 plus page book. You are very talented and I can't wait to finish your book to write a review and recommend it to my audience. Great job!"

Joe Hawkins - Oakland, California Gay Chamber of Commerce

“I started reading this book and it captured my attention from the first word. I almost missed my flight because I was so into the story. It’s a great read!”
