Rekaya Gibson’s love for food is evident throughout her fiction work, The Food Temptress and children’s book, Are There French Fries in Heaven? Xpress Yourself Publishing Company (XYP), an independent book publisher, released The Food Temptress on January 15, 2009. Currently, it ranks seventh on XYP’s Top 10 Bestseller’s List due to her actively promoting the book worldwide. Some of her nonfiction articles have appeared in the Cabo Living Magazine, Desert Saints Magazine, and Lake of the Ozarks Second Home Living Magazine. In 2006, Rekaya self-published an e-Book, Wow Them With Your Grant Proposal under her own e-publishing company, Gibson Girl Publishing Company. Recently, the federal government selected her to review and score grant applications on underage drinking prevention. She has spent over ten years working in the violence/drug prevention fields, and several semesters teaching a communications course at a community college. In addition, she has taught employees at a local casino how to write in English. This encouraged her to start her own nonprofit organization that focuses on language skills and literacy. In the near future, she plans to dabble in politics - or at least write about it - as she completes her doctoral degree in political science. She holds a Master's degree in Public Administration from the University of New Orleans and a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Affairs with a concentration in Criminal Justice from Indiana University. Although a transplant to Nevada because of Hurricane Katrina, she now calls Las Vegas her home. When Rekaya is not writing, she enjoys hosting monthly dinner parties, dancing, and discovering the next free event in Las Vegas.
