Kiki Swinson is a bestselling American author, well-known for her urban and fiction novels. She was born and raised in Portsmouth, Virginia, where she discovered her passion for writing after completing her first novel, "Mad Shambles," while serving a five-year sentence at a federal prison. After her release in December 1996, Kiki decided to self-publish "Mad Shambles," which marked the beginning of her successful writing career.\n \nSwinson's writing journey began in earnest after she was inspired by the success of authors such as Bebe Moore Campbell, Terry McMillan, and Sheneska Jackson. Realizing that she could also make a name for herself in the literary world, she dedicated herself to writing, often late into the night. Her perseverance paid off when her second novel, "Wifey," was published by Melodrama Publishing. The success of "Wifey" led to an overwhelming demand for a sequel, and Kiki responded with "I'm Still Wifey," a creative and gritty work of fiction that answered all the unanswered questions from the first book.
Since then, Kiki Swinson has authored more than nine series, including "The Wifey Series," "The Street Chronicles," "The G-Wagon Club," and "The Black Family's Sins." She has also written over a dozen standalone novels and contributed to other series such as "Wifey." Swinson's ability to create compelling characters and intricate plotlines has earned her a loyal fan base and critical acclaim. Her works often explore themes of love, betrayal, and survival in the face of adversity, making her novels relatable and engaging to a wide audience.
