Born and raised in Portsmouth, Virginia, KiKi Swinson
discovered her flair for writing twelve years ago after
completing her first novel entitled "Mad Shambles," while
serving a five year sentence at a federal prison for "being the
wifey" of a known drug dealer. This charge is known as "knowing
of and/or about a criminal-enterprise."
After being released in December 1996, she did a little research
and learned about the success of authors such as Bebe Moore
Campbell, Terry McMillan and Sheneska Jackson. She said, "Dang??
these women got it going on. And if they did it, so can I!"
Ms. Swinson, later went on to self-publish "Mad Shambles."
Her passion for writing didn't stop there. Writing feverishly
into the wee hours of the night, she completed her second novel,
Wifey, which was picked up and published by Melodrama
Publishing. After the success of Wifey, there was an
overwhelming demand for her to write a sequel. Her fans wanted
more so Ms. Swinson decided to answer all unanswered questions.
The result is a creative, gritty work of fiction entitled, "I'm
Still Wifey."

Kira only wishes to be happy and live a drama free life, so
after all the chaos and blood shed that claimed the lives of all
the parties involved, Kira escaped back to the islands and is
safe and sound in her luxury beachfront home with her new
Caribbean beau Donovan.
The unfortunate part about running is that her past life always
seems to follow her and cause her to become leery of everyone
who crosses her path. Not only is she dealing with trust issues,
she finds it hard to love the very man she spends most of her
time with. But as the relationship progresses, she will find out
that Donovan isn't her enemy. However, there is someone very
close to him that wants to destroy her and they will stop at
nothing to make that happen.
While Kira is no stranger to violence and mayhem, being alone in
this foreign country has its disadvantages. So to beat the odds,
she knows she better come up with pretty clever exit strategy or
else.
Having no regards for people, their property and even
her own life, Faith Simmons has done everything from
selling off her life's fortune, to selling her body, and
stealing, all because of her sweet addiction for The
Candy Shop. Looking back ten years, who would have ever
thought that this well-respected and very well paid
thirty-one year old assistant principal for a performing
arts school would trade in her six-year marriage, a
two-story brick home in a gated community and a 2007
Jaguar, for a body riddled with track marks and a
substance that gives her a better feeling than sex. When
that candy, as she knows it, finally runs out; she
resorts to the 'desperate times calls for desperate
measures' solution; which will have her playing Russian
roulette with the angel of death. And sooner than later,
these episodes will catch up with her, so she will be
forced to make some life altering choices, but will it
be too late?
