Born in South Central, L.A., first time author Keith 'Kiko' Robinson uses his own personal experiences as a former Los Angeles gang leader to transport readers on the persuasive journey of his main character, Pete Williams. He uses the youthful minded Pete to expose the psychological effects of gun fascination on the mind, almost to the point of extreme intrigue. This intrigue leads to the gun becoming a driving force within one's own psyche, forcing them to believe that they can no longer live without it by their side. The message throughout 'Live By The Gun, Die By The Gun' is so powerfully and consciously written that it will not only galvanize the readers mind, but also in enthrall it as well.
