Keith Hudson, full name Burton Keith Hudson, never paid for work completed on his website. Please check out the following site about this guy -- http://keithhudsonbooks.com

He has claimed he is in the Denver, CO area, however I have not found an address for him. In my opinion, he is a nothing more than a petty thief and a pathological liar.

STAY AWAY from this guy! I would never trust that you would ever receive a book, or anything else this guy is trying to peddle. DO NOT DO ANY WORK WITHOUT GETTING PAID UP FRONT!

BEWARE! I invested $10, 000 with this guy with the promise of a one million dollar return. He had me make the check to his wife Anna Hudson. He said it was for God & his daughters. He is a very sick man. I know over a dozen people who invested at least this much & some much more. I know we will never see our hard earned money ever again. If we can stop him from taking others hard earned money & put him in jail for the crimes he had committed! Report him to the Better Business Bureau! Lets stop this man from stealing any one else's money & being able to go on radio talk shows to talk his ###!

Keith Hudson, as I can see has an extensive list of people he owes money to. He also tells the same story, especially to REALTORs. I am a REALTOR and feel rather embarrassed that I was scammed and wrote a $3, 000.00 personal check to him. A friend did as well. The next day we went to him home to drop off more paperwork, the house was vacant! So, he was able to move on with $6, 000.00 in his pocket in a hurry! Who would I go to to file a complaint. If there is something I can do please e-mail me at Jay@BuergerRealEstate.com. As many have said, working together we may be able to find him and have him experience the legal consequences. Thanks,
Jay Buerger Centennial, CO.

Meet the Convention/Contest Chief Judge Ms. PJ. Gibson [pj
card]

We at Semaj Publications of Denver and the Committee Members of the
Color My Poetry, Color it Mine, International Poetic Expresssions
Convention/$10, 000.00 Poetry Contest would like to introduce to you our
Cheif Judge Ms. PJ Gibson. Ms. PJ. Gibson is an Associate Professor of
English at the John Jay College of Crimminal Justice in New York City,
where she teaches literature, poetry, and fiction writing courses. Ms.
Gibson holds a M.F.A. in Theatre Arts from Brandeis University and a
B.A. in drama, religion, and english from Keuka College, New York. Ms.
Gibson refers to her writing a gift from the heavens given to her at the
early age of nine, and by fourteen she was an award winning writer in
both poetry and fiction. She embraced playwriting in 1970 when her
freshman classmates at Keuka College asked her to lend her writing and
theatrical skills to address a racial situation confronting the twenty
five Black and Puerto Rican students at her college. The Black Woman,
with its cast of thirty-one was Gibson's first play, and so began her
career as a playwright. As of today she has written over thiry-one plays
and is the Author of Destiny's Daughters. Ms Gibson has been awarded so many awards and achieved so much in her life that it would basically
take a novel to write her accomplishments. She writes realistic works,
placed in realistic settings, but she is not bound to this format. Her
stylistic and experimental works often break the forth wall, inviting
the audience into worlds of her plays on the other levels. You will all
get a chance to meet this great lady at the Color My Poetry, Color it
Mine, International Poetic Expressions Convention!

It brings hope to those whose lives have been dashed beneath the weight of addiction or any other oppression that lies outside the oneness of the soul. Dwight states that this book of poems are like musical compositions, the soft construction of some lines and the Bebop orchestration of others is due to the influence of
his being surrounded by musicians for the first 10 years of his writing.

poetry and has sold over 10, 000 copies since it's publication in
June 2001. An inspirational work, it was described by Dr. Kevin Starr,
the state librarian of California, as "her poems are reflective of
African American culture and at the same time underscore our universal
humanity." In 2002, O'Neal released her first children's
book, Ev'ry Little Soul, in which she collaborated with Ms. Wendy

have crafted a magnificent book that contains an essential message of

The 2006 Poetry Convention/$10, 000 Contest keeps getting better. Patryce
"Choc'Let" Banks has agreed to perfom for all attendees at
this wonderful event along with Cassandra, Ms. Poetic Justice, Dwight O.
Carson and his Triod, Rene Reyes, Bernadette Sanders, and other special

Welcome Patryce "Choc'Let" Banks [Patrice]

Patryce "Choc'Let" Banks is a rare gem in the treasure chest
of entertainers. Choc'Let carved her niche as an innovator and one
of the major players in the Funk genre. The award winning audio/visual
dynamo is the former female lead singer of the chart topping "Graham
Central Station, " Larry Grahams' (Sly's bass player) group.
Beginning her journey through music as so many top entertainers, she
started singing at the age of three in her father's Baptist church.
This early experience sparked the flame of creativity that motivated her
life as a singer. While growing up in Los Angeles, California, she
headlined a variety of local bands from middle through high school. The
beginning of her professional career started upon graduation from Dorsey
High with the "Doodletown Pipers, " an "All American"
type group of youngsters. With the Pipers she traveled the US and Canada
performing in concerts and appearing in a televised series of
"Doodletown Piper" Holiday specials. Striking out on her own,
she took her career to the next level. Choc'Let came to the
attention of Dick Griffey of Solar Records fame, who became her manager.
Propelling her career, he initiated an introduction to Sly and the
Family Stone, where she met Larry Graham. This connection was the
beginning of her successful career with GCS. While with GCS, the group
played every major venue in the US and Europe, and appeared regularly on
TV including "Soul Train, " "Rock Concert, " and
"Midnite Special" earning gold record and Grammy nominations in
the process. Always pursuing excellence, Choc'Let left GCS for a
solo career. She recorded her debut solo album "She's Back and
Ready" with T-Electric Records. Choc'Let has lent her vocal
support on tour and in the recording studio to artists such as B.B.
King, Stephanie Mills, Chaka Kahn, Wayne Henderson and the Crusaders,
Ronnie Laws, and Dr. Dre, only to name a few. During the past decade she
has performed with Rose Royce of "Car Wash" fame, as the
featured female lead singer, traveling the states and abroad performing
in concert, festivals, radio, and TV appearances.

Meet the Convention/Contest Chief Judge Ms. PJ. Gibson

We at Semaj Publications of Denver and the Committee Members of the Color My Poetry, Color it Mine, International Poetic Expresssions Convention/$10, 000.00 Poetry Contest would like to introduce to you our Cheif Judge Ms. PJ Gibson.

Ms. Gibson holds a M.F.A. in Theatre Arts from Brandeis University and a B.A. in drama, religion, and english from Keuka College, New York. Ms. Gibson refers to her writing a gift from the heavens given to her at the early age of nine, and by fourteen she was an award winning writer in both poetry and fiction. She embraced playwriting in 1970 when her freshman classmates at Keuka College asked her to lend her writing and theatrical skills to address a racial situation confronting the twenty five Black and Puerto Rican students at her college. The Black Woman, with its cast of thirty-one was Gibson's first play, and so began her career as a playwright. As of today she has written over thiry-one plays and is the Author of Destiny's Daughters. Ms Gibson has been awarded so many awards and achieved so much in her life that it would basically take a novel to write her accomplishments.

Her stylistic and experimental works often break the forth wall, inviting the audience into worlds of her plays on the other levels.

Dear B. Keith Hudson or Rex Tripp (which ever name you are going by now)

I've got your number. You scammed us out of 1000.00. Your books you write are bogus.. you have no investors.. and I can't believe you've been doing this for as long as you have. I am shocked you wrote such a sensitive book a to your daughters.. and yet you write such creep drivel made for just "females" or "males" ("Let's talk about sex")

I have news for you.. I got your number and your website. You've screwed the wrong person this time. Here's my suggestion You (Keith Hudson aka REX TRIPP) and your wife Anna Hudson should get REAL jobs and stop stealing from those of us that do. You know where to find me... as I do you.. isn't it somewhere on Mississippi street that UPS store?

Here's some interesting links about this guy..

This guy should pracitce what he preaches. I was lucky enough not to fall for his scam and did dome research on him before writing him a check. If it sounds too good to be true it usually is. This guy needs to be stopped annd he wiill slip up eventually. I have friends at the aurora Police dept that told me to stay away from him. He has a record a mile long. If you are a realtor like myself! BEWARE! He will give you a speach, and suddenly have this great investment opprotunity that one of his friends are unable to do at this time. He will have you show him houses. And just waste your time!

You're absolutely right. Actually, in talking with someone recently, it seems that D_H's comment might be Keith himself. Apparently he's heard about this page and wants to pursue people on this page for slander, which is risible.

When Keith got evicted from a property he was "renting" the moving company seized his stuff as he had bounced a check from the previous eviction. Happened just a couple of days before Christmas.

I have filed with Arapahoe County Small Claims Court and will have my day in court soon. (Apr. '10)

D_H maybe you are the only lucky one because I think it's obvious you would be the exception and not the rule. Many individuals do "large projects" without making others suffer for their delays. Don't make promises you can't keep, it's a simple rule.

XpertDBA apparently you don't really know Keith because there is not "estate" or assets to gain from a lawsuit. He has nothing. He's moved 10 times in the past 4 years...good luck with that!

I too did work for Keith Hudson to create a SQL Server database in the fall of 2009. He owes me money for the work, and has never paid me for the hours and time I spent working for him. I would like to know a way we could all take this man to court to get our money back, or put a lein against his 'estate'. Please contact me at XpertDBA@yahoo.com if you have any information about any pending lawsuits or ways we can do something to stop this guy.

I respectfully disagree with some of the comments I saw here. I invested with Keith last July, and although the timeframe hs not been ideal, I feel Keith has always been straight forward with me, and I still believe in his work. I have not posted here to defend Keith, but to simply express my personal experience and belief that he had honorable intentions. I feel he has not purposefully mislead me in any way. Large projects like this one have a lot of moving parts, and therefore a lot of delays. I have been involved with large scale projects before, and it is not uncommon for delays of months, and even years. I hope the best for everyone involved.

REALTORS: beware! this guys is smooth talking and will convince you that he is writing a book and talk series, everything that is said in the above complaints are true! I fell for his lies and CONSTANT excuses for why the project is delayed and why there is never a actual date for the investors being paid back. I am a realtor that he has contacted, his story is that he wants to buy his soon to be ex wife a house, and his assistant as well as his own house. I strongly suggest you stay away from this man, If we all can file a complaint on him, than maybe we can get him to finally be arrested and be held accountable. this man needs to be stopped, has anyone ever thought of getting all of us together and maybe talking to 9 wants to know? PLEASE follow the advice from the BETHECHANGE and file with Arap county.

Several members of my family were taken by this man. He convinced them to be "investors" in his work. He provided a contract and a well practiced and compelling story. By the time you can research the details and determine that pretty much everything that he said was totally false he has cashed your check and you can't reach him again. I filed a report with the financial fraud unit of the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department which was forwarded to the Colorado Attorney General's office. I encourage anyone else who has been defrauded by the man to report it to the authorities. The more information they have the more likely they can shut him down.

He will take your money and run! He will want to look at homes but will never buy one. He makes you think you can get in on a great investment, there are only a few spots, you have to hurry, he cashes the check right away at the bank it is drawn on. How many other Realtors have been taken advantage of by Keith Hudson? How can we turn this guy in?

This man is a compulsive liar! He owes EX-employees tens of thousands of dollars and continually promises the money is coming. His book "project" will go nowhere because he doesn't know how to do the right thing.

Keith has taken thousands of dollars from investors and never has a penny to pay anyone. He's got plenty stashed away while he pretends to be a humble author with a vision for making a contribution to family life.
Kinda makes you wonder what he's doing with the money--because he doen't use it to pay his bills.

Keith receives money and services from people under the guise of creating a project that will help families. he exploits everyone who can be of use to him--even his own daughters. people have a hard time getting paid, because Keith doesn't believe that he needs to be accountable--the world owes him a living. I know from personal experience that he has devastated many people financially. He takes whatever he can take, and will laugh all the way to the bank. This is not someone who simply makes stupid decisions about money--quite the contrary. This is someone who will uses religion, talk about his destiny, foster family life discussions, and exploit his own family to see his name in lights. He has taken thousands of dollars from investors, and uses freelancers and contract people with absolutely no intention of paying his bills. He moves his family on a regular basis, because he skips out on the rent. He has done this in business, and in his personal life.

This guy is the lowest of the low. He's changed the names of his books now to "The Talk" series. He's blown me off for almost seven weeks. He owes me close to $4, 000. I've done editing work for him under contract, and he has ignored me and offended me. Would anyone else here be interested in speaking on my behalf in court? What can we do? My name is Kendra Palmer and you can find me on Facebook or e-mail me at kendrarel@yahoo.com.

Keith is on a rampage before Christmas. I receintly did work for Keith on thetalksite.com, I built a complete site, did book covers, and only got paid $500 down. I was sold on the idea of what he was doing for daughters, but he's just a scam artist. I'll be persuing this legally to put a stop to this non-sense.

Thank you for your post about Keith Hudson, I have doubts about what I have been told and what I have read about with his million $ challenge. his web site has not been updated either with current information. His books are not available to order.
